selection as the Chosen People.
The opening verses, taken from the
end of Yishaya Chap. 40, directly
attribute strength and success to
belief in Hashem. “But those who
put their hope in Hashem shall
renew their vigor...they shall run
and not weary....” (40:31)
Hashem’s eternity in relation to all
generations is established, “...I am
first, and with the last ones I am
He.” (41:4) and it therefore makes
sense to trust Hashem. This
realization mirrors Avraham’s
quest for understanding. Natures
inherent consistency and order
revealed itself to Avraham as
absolute proof of a Creator who
cares for His creations. “...he says
of the cement, “It is good,” and he
strengthened it with nails that it
should not move.” (41:7)
With the conviction of certainty
and truth, Avraham embraces
G-d as a true servant. Hashem,
in return, bestows upon him the
singular accolade as the one “who
loved me”. In all of the Tanach,
only Avraham is referred to in this
manner. To love Hashem means
to trust Hashem, and Avraham
trusted Hashem more completely
than anyone else. In merit for
his devotion, Hashem promises
to protect his children from the
onslaught of the other nations.
As all things are put into
perspective, we realize that our
nation’s greatness and praise
is but a reflection of Hashem’s
greatness. (41:16)
