כי ה’ נתן לנו כח לעשות חיל Hashem gives us the abilities, mind and understanding to mechadesh something in the Torah. The Chasam Sofer explains that a person is not allowed to say something new. All chidushim are hidden in the Torah and we are given the abilities to find them. The Rav Haflaah in Parashas Bo says that a kashye, a question comes from a Devine intervention, a siyata dishmaya which is usually required to get the hidden Torah revealed. He gives a parable to a simple person who is given a diamond. What am I going to do with it? As he likes gold, goes to a goldsmith to cover it in gold. The goldsmith being no expert, leaves some holes. The simple person only sees the gold. However the smart person sees the diamond under the gold. The kashye gets us to see the diamond underneath the gold.
