Welcome to the Daily Chizuk (encouragement). The Chovot HaLevavot writes many times in the Sha'ar HaBitachon that everything that happens to a person in life comes directly from Hashem, and no human being can give you anything or take away anything if Hashem didn't decree it first. The Sefer HaChinuch writes the same thing in Mitzvah (commandment) Reish Mem Aleph (241), and he says further that it doesn't make sense to take revenge on people. They're just messengers of Hashem. The Beit HaLevi adds, and Rabbeinu Bahya explains: When the secret police were taking him away and one of them held a gun to him, the rabbi said, “Someone who doesn't fear people but rather fears Hashem could become a bigger person. Someone who has principles and is able to stand up for what he believes in.”
Rabbi Ephraim Waxman told the story: When Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan first became a rabbi in a small town, he was a young man. On his first day on the job, a poor man came to complain to him that a wealthy man, one of the heads of the shul, had cheated him, and he wanted to bring him to a din Torah (Torah court case). So the young Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan sent the wealthy man a message to come to Beit Din (religious court). The wealthy man sent back, “You don't summon the head of the Kehillah (community) to Beit Din. It's your first day on the job.” So the rabbi sent him another message to come, and the man replied, “Who do you think you are? I've hired and fired many like you before. Be careful what you say.” The rabbi sent him another message and said, “If you don't come to Beit Din, I'm putting you in cherem (excommunication).” The man came with the rest of the Rashei Kehillah (community leaders), with a plate of cake and whiskey, to celebrate their new rabbi. They said, “We were testing you to see if you're afraid of us or if you're afraid of Hashem.”
The rabbi from Nikolsburg used to have a stick hanging in his office where he learned. Someone once asked him, “Rabbi, what's that stick?” The rabbi said, “It's my walking stick. If you ever threaten me with my job, I take it and I walk away.” It's very simple. You only have to have one fear in life: Am I doing Ratzon Hashem (Hashem's will) or not? That's the only thing that matters. Have a great day.
