Hashem is involved in our everyday mundane affairs, all day, all the time. What appears to be a coincidence is really the Yad Hashem (guiding hand of Hashem). We call this Hashgacha Pratit (individual providence). People who are in tune with this could see Hashem in their lives on a daily basis. Sometimes it’s more apparent than others. There are people who write down all the times they see Hashem, and they all say, “The more I write, the more I see.” When the Yad Hashem is crystal clear, it’s like a mini miracle, and a person is obligated to tell people about it.
A student once told his rabbi how he was saved miraculously, and the rabbi said, “Unbelievable.” As they were walking ten minutes later with some other people, the rabbi told the student, “Tell me what happened.” The student said, “I just told you, Rabbi.” The rabbi said, “You have to say it over and over. Talk about the miracles of Hashem.”
I just had a mini miracle occur to me. I needed to prepare a very important speech on the topic of Bitachon (trust in God), and I had to find just the right words to say. I was hoping to find something from a previous class that I gave that was recorded on CD. I had five CDs to choose from and only enough time to listen to two. I put in the first, listened to the whole thing, and found nothing. I put in the second, and as the CD was spinning for 20 seconds, the machine said, “Error.” I took out the CD, blew on it, and put it back in. The same thing happened: after 20 seconds, it said, “Error.” I said, “Okay.” I took out the third CD and put it in. The same thing happened: after 20 seconds, “Error.” I took it out and put it back in. The same thing happened again: 20 seconds, and “Error.” I said, “Okay, let me try the fourth CD.” I put the fourth CD in, and it was exactly the words that I was looking for. This was the guiding hand of Hashem. It was so clear to me. I said, “Let me try now and put back the second CD.” I put back the second CD, and it worked fine. I put in the third CD, and it worked fine. To me, it was a miracle. May Hashem open our eyes to see His guidance all the time. Have a great day. Thank you.
