This will be better understood by offering a more acute example: When a person finds himself - Heaven forfend - in a life-threatening situation and sees no way of surviving by natural means, he will not despair, for he trusts that G-d will help him, since He is the Master of nature and able to change it at will.7 The ability to put one’s trust in G-d, to be confident that He will rescue one from extreme difficulties - “natural” physical reality notwithstanding - indicates that such trust completely permeates a person. Moreover, this very trust serves as the vessel that draws down Divine assistance and blessing: When a Jew displays absolute trust in G-d and is confident that G-d will release him from his dire straits - 6 See Nesivos Olam of the Meharal, beginning of Nesiv HaBetachon. This also explains how it is possible for man to possess such absolute trust in G-d: Since we know that G-d responds to man measure for measure,8 we are able to feel certain9 that by placing our implicit trust in G-d, He will surely help us in our time of need. Rashi2 comments: “Because he was sluggish in performing the commandment [of leading the Jews in battle] and appointed another in his stead, his hands became heavy.” Why does the Torah tell us that Moshe’s hands grew heavy as a result of his slothful attitude - something entirely uncomplimentary - when the Torah does not even speak directly of the stigma of an unclean animal? Amalek was only able to affect the Jews who straggled so far behind spiritually that as a result of their sins
