Coincidence?? No, nothing in life is a coincidence. How do we know that? Very simple, we know and believe that there’s a G-D in the world and he run every second of it! People walking around breathing on their own. So you’ll say its natural, healthy people are able to breath on their own, Right? And when he stops breathing, IS THAT A COINCIDENCE?? No!! We know that Hashem gives each and every breath into a persons lungs, and when Hashem stops, the person stops breathing, not a coincidence. We know that there’s something called Hashgacha Pratis, that Hashem has a block plan for everything He does. Nothing just happens! Nothing is a coincidence! Some people may think if they thought up a great idea, thats its all them, that they could take all the credit for it. Do you really think a human being could run such a powerful operation such as the brain? No! There’s a G-D in the world who sent that idea to your head so you could be the shliach, the one to carry it out. Stop for a second and think, Take that moment to realize what just happend. Take out a Tehilim and say a small prayer. And if your really in a rush, take the easy way out, its three simple yet powerful words, look up and say, THANK YOU HASHEM!! I once had the privilege to drive around the Clevelander Rebbe, Harav Yitzchok I Rosenbaum Shlit”a, and there was something i noticed and really learnt a powerful lesson from. Every few minutes the Rebbe would look up, clap his hands and say Heilege Bashefer, here is a man who constantly had Hashem on his mind and also made sure to always remind people, basically saying, i know your busy, but remember there’s a Ribono shel olam out there, running this massive operation. It wasn’t your alarm clock that got you up this morning, it was Hashem who said to you, its time to get up, im giving you another day on this world, go daven, go learn, you have another day that you could follow my commandments. How many people wake up in the morning, shut off their alarm clock and jump out of bed because they’re running a few minutes late. How many people forget that small Tefilah that we say in the morning, Modeh Ani…Thank you Hashem, king of the world, for giving my Neshama back to me this morning. Alarm clock? Coincidence? Take out the time, a little, to Daven, Learn…no one is asking you to daven a 2 hr. Shachris. Hashem wants you to go out and work so you could support your family, but do it in a way that Hashem is still involved and a part of your life, family, work. Try once an hour to say a kapitul tehilim, it takes less then a minute, and if you really dont have the time, try another way. You make a successful business deal? Thank you Hashem! Your boss hands you your paycheck, dont forget who the real boss is, Thank you Hashem! You have a job? your able to feed your family? you have a house to live in? You found a Shidduch? Dont forget those three words,Thank You Hashem. Remember, nothing is a coincidence!
