everything. How can one have grievances, knowing he never sees the
full picture?
We, too, must behave with wholeheartedness, as we are enjoined, “You
shall be wholehearted with Hashem, your G-d.” In spite of his many
ordeals, Avraham served Hashem wholeheartedly. Hashem enjoined
Avraham to walk before Him wholeheartedly. Not only during times of
stress, but in all his acts, he was expected to behave with perfect
wholeheartedness, because that was Hashem’s will.
Noach was “perfect in his generation.” He did Hashem’s will
wholeheartedly, not out of the desire to be saved from the Flood.
When a person passes on, his relatives accept the justice of his death, even
though it is not easy. They understand that Hashem manages the world
with true justice. He alone knows what is ultimately good for a person.
When suffering befalls a person, he should analyze his actions and
introspect in which area he needs improvement. Let him never, chalilah,
have grievances toward G-d.
“Hashem alone guided them, and no other
power was with them”
(Devarim 32:12)
