G-d Fights Our Battles

A major part of Moshe Rabbeinu’s final address to the nation, was to give them encouragement. It may look as though the task of inheriting the land was overwhelming, but Moshe assured them that they would succeed.

Specifically, he spoke of the challenge of fighting armies of other nations, that seemed greater than ours. He reminded the people that they have no reason to be afraid, for Hashem would help fight their battle.

The point made in Wellsprings of Torah is very relevant to our current situation. If you believe that you can be victorious over your mighty enemy, based on your own strength, and “the strength of your hand,” then there is reason to fear.

But if your faith is strong that Hashem is with us, helping us in our battles, only then will we have nothing to fear.

We must hold on to the belief that in the merit of the bravery and courage of our soldiers, G-d will be with us. We have been through bigger threats in our history. We must not be afraid, and hold on to our faith in G-d. He will not forsake us.
