everything is illuminated
David hamelech comes through once again..
Emunah isn’t blind belief - it's belief based on knowledge.. the knowledge I acquired when my vision was clear.
In the morning, the sun shines and it provides me with a vivid understanding of G-d’s kindness - and it’s a pleasure to give praise.
But when nighttime comes, and it gets dark and gloomy, confusing and obscure, I suddenly don't see what's right in front of me so clearly. It’s at that time that I trust my belief, my conviction based on the clarity I experienced earlier.
The permanence of His existence isn’t dependent on my clarity of vision.
Objects don’t cease existing when the light is turned off – I just rely on my other senses and have confidence in the memories created when there was illumination.
In the darkness of the night, I trust that what I saw with such clarity in the daytime is still there.
My emunah is awakened.. and I continue to seek.. and praise.
