Reply To: Chanukah Thoughts

It says in Parshas Miketz אלקיכם נתן לכם מטמון מאמתחותכם כספכם בא אלי Hashem gave you a hidden find in your sack your money arrived to me. The Ksav Sofer asks should’t the fact that your money came to me come first? He says that from here we see as metioned above that the brocho cannot fall on nothing so the money had to be there when the blessing came. Similarly by Chanukah some oil had to be left over on which the brocho of the miracle should be able to fall.
