Sha’ar HaBitachon - Episode Fifty
,
~ !
To further make the case for Bitachon -- in a way that addresses our emotional intelligence. Rabbeinu Bachaya continues to weave his unique tapestry of faith-inspired logic and scripture in heartfelt yet lucid terms.
The fourth requisite quality about Hashem's undivided attentiveness is presented, an it too leads to the same conclusion: Only G-d is deserving of our unreserved Trust!
Because no matter how much your trusted friend cares for you there's always the chance they may be preoccupied by other things. Yet Hashem is never overwhelmed and always focuses on you. The arithmetic is simple. Only He is Ever Engaged + Only He is Always Watching = Only in Him should place our Total Reliance and Trust.
Chapter Three, Part Five comprises the 50th episode of this ongoing series.
