In everything, God performs His mission
In everything that exists in the world, there is the potential to serve as an agent for fulfilling God’s will in the world.
(“To teach you that in everything God performs His mission, and He created nothing in vain; sometimes God performs His mission through a frog, through a mosquito, through a wasp, and through a scorpion” – Midrash Tanchuma (Buber), Parashat Chukat, §1; and: “In everything the Holy One, blessed be He, performs His mission, sometimes openly and sometimes in secret. That which is visible we see, that which is hidden we do not see” – Agnon / Temol Shilshom, 345)
