What is the avodah (task at hand) of each and every one of us right now? To sing Tehillim v’Tishbachot (Songs of praise, love and affection) to Hashem. That is our mission; to sing to Hashem in a very loud lofty voice.
We learn this from the following written in Divrei Hayamim (Chronicles) II, 20:15-17: “And he said, “Hearken, all Judeans, inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Yehoshafat, so said Hashem to you: You shall not fear neither shall you be dismayed because of this great multitude, for the war is not yours but Hashem’s… It is not for you to fight in this [war]; set yourselves, stand and see the salvation of Hashem with you, O Yehudah and Jerusalem; fear not and be not dismayed. Tomorrow, go forth before them, and Hashem will be with you.”
Do you know what Ahm Yisrael did right after Hashem spoke? They sang to Hashem as is written, (ibid. 20:19), “And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise Hashem with a loud voice on high.” Worrying ceased and in its place came songs of love to Hashem.
The K’tuvim (Scriptures) continues (ibid. 20:22), “And when they began to sing and to praise, Hashem set ambushes again the children of Ammon, Moav, and Mount Seir, which were against Yehudah, and they were smitten.” They didn’t have to lift a single finger – Hashem fought their war!
Hashem wishes for us to recognize that we are being taken care no matter how obscure it is from our fleshy eyes to witness. And that is the reason we should and can sing praises. Just because we don’t see the yeshuot occuring under the surface, we need to have emuna that it is in fact happening!
