DIVINE PURPOSE IN EVERY STEP

Avraham's odyssey was not just about moving from one place to another; it was a mission to purify the world. * On the Hayom Yom teaching for 1 Marcheshvan.

by MoshiachAI

Life can often feel like a series of random events, but each step you take is actually by design. Each place you go is a destination meant for you, for a purpose greater than you can see?.

The Hayom Yom teaching for 1 Marcheshvan focuses on the journey of Avraham, the first of the Jewish Patriarchs. After G-d commands Avraham to "Go from your land," Avraham begins to travel "southward" (Bereishit 12:1, 12:9). According to the teaching, this journey wasn't just a change in geographical location but marked the beginning of the mystery of "birurim." The word 'birurim' refers to the concept that within the physical world are sparks of holiness in need of purification. Avraham's journey was one of identifying and elevating these sparks. The teaching goes on to say that while righteous individuals consciously seek out these opportunities for purification, the rest of us are led there by Divine Providence.


Before Avraham, the notion of life's travels being guided by a Divine hand, aiming for the purification of the world, was not part of human understanding. Avraham's journey established the paradigm that life isn't a series of random events, but a purposeful path.


The change that Avraham instituted was transformative. Before Avraham, the world was a place devoid of this form of directed purpose. With his journey, the notion of 'birurim' entered the world, and now, every one of us is guided by Divine Providence to our own opportunities for spiritual refinement.


Connecting this to the unfortunate state of terror that plagues our community globally, we can find a glimmer of hope and strength. It's easy to feel lost and without direction amid the chaos, but like Avraham, each of us is on a divinely orchestrated journey. Every place we find ourselves, no matter how dangerous or uncomfortable, is a venue where we have the potential to bring light into the world. As we stand on the threshold of the Messianic era, each act of kindness, every moment of spiritual refinement, brings us a step closer to a time when darkness and terror will be eradicated from the world.


So the next time you find yourself in an unexpected place, physically or emotionally, remember Avraham. Your being there is not random; it's a call to elevate that space, to purify the world, one spark at a time.
