TRUST 101 IS THE FASTEST WAY TO LEARN THE GATE OF TRUST OVER THE 8 DAYS OF CHANUKAH!
Since G-d has these Trust-worthy qualities, times Infinity, shouldn’t I trust in G-d exclusively? Does that mean I can quit my day job?
Lesson 3 discusses:
- 5 things that G-d requires for my Trust to work -- Recognition, Sincerity, Exclusivity, Obedience and Partnership.
- G-d wants me to work: (1) to Test me and (2) to keep me Preoccupied. Some Good Guys ace these 2 and don’t have to work.
- Yet, some Good Guys may suffer for 5 reasons, and Bad Guys prosper for 6.
- My job suits me: physically, intellectually, and based on my nature.
- I can’t quit my day job, because that’s how I serve Hashem!
- My income is determined by G-d, not what I do 9-5.
