Rav Aba expounded on the verse, "Trust in HaShem forever, for He is HaShem-the strength of the worlds" (Yesheyahu 26:4):
"Trust in HaShem"-all of mankind must strengthen their faith in HaKadosh Baruch Hu and place their trust in Him.
Another meaning of the verse: "Trust in HaShem forever"-Each day of life a person needs to strengthen his faith in HaKadosh Baruch Hu. When one places his trust in HaShem, and intensifies his faith in HaShem, no one can harm him. In light of this, King David said, "My G-d, I trusted in You, let me not be ashamed; Let my enemies not rejoice over me." (Tehillim 25:2).
Anyone who puts His trust in the holy Name of HaShem will live. Why is this so? Because the world exists by virtue of His holy name...for He is "the strength, [i.e., Creator] of the worlds"...this world and the World to Come! (Zohar Va’era 2:22)
This passage reveals two integral pillars of trust in HaShem and how these components of faith are interrelated. The first, "Trust in HaShem", is a general entreaty to mankind; while the second, "Trust in HaShem forever", pertains to each individual.
Since HaShem is the Creator of the "earth and everything upon it"-it is appropriate for all the inhabitants of the world to bond together as one entity trusting in HaShem. Their collective consciousness unifies mankind in their trust in HaShem. The more their hearts join together to "Trust in HaShem", the more the Divine Name will be strengthened on the earth.
In addition, HaShem instructs each individual to "Trust in HaShem forever"-this refers to the continual fortifying and strengthening of our faith. Hence, as we grow each day in our faith, we extend our trust in HaShem to a higher level.
May we engage ourselves to actualize both our collective, and individual trust in HaShem. Then we will be surrounded by constant Divine compassion, unbounded loving kindness from HaShem, and abundant blessings of good in this world, as well as, the World to Come.
TODAY: Envision all of Klal Yisrael joining hearts to trust resolutely in HaShem.
