We trust Him - He trust Us!
For October 13, 2022
Tehillim - Psalms 89:9
יְהֹוָ֤ה ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צְבָא֗וֹת מִֽי־כָמ֖וֹךָֽ חֲסִ֥ין ׀ יָ֑הּ וֶ֝אֱמ֥וּנָתְךָ֗ סְבִיבוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
"L-rd, G-d, Master of all creations, who is at all like You, mighty G-d? Your faithfulness is acknowledged by the celestial creations that surround You."
The verse acknowledges that the Eternal is the Only One. There are other gods, for He created all that is created.
He has given life to every one. His Emunatecha surrounds Him. We may know the word "emunatech" from the Mode-Ani prayer we may say in the morning after waking up.
The prayer in which we express our thanks that He not only gave us life at our birth, but that He makes our souls return to our bodies every morning. This faithfulness of Him to us, is also our hope and expectation that He will give us life back after we pass away.
We focus our emunah completely on Him, our trust is only in Him and not in all kinds of idols that have no mouth, no ears, no nose, no science.
So in this we see another meaning in emunah having faith in others. G-d gives us His trust every morning, His trust in us that we make it a day in accordance with His will. A day in which we bring out His Image in us, visible to the world. His trust in us, to make this day a little better for the world.
