Eliezer’s Struggle to Keep his Faith in God
Introduction
Eliewisesel’s article explains enhancement of Wiesel’s faith. It explains his narrow escape and the witnessed Jews sufferings in the hands of ruthless murders (Eliewisesel, 5). He finds it difficult to understand how the world could be cruel to believers. Luckily, he has faith in his supernatural natural being, God. He therefore gains a deeper understanding of God in the end; this is attributed to the fact that his tribulations shaped his faith.
Struggle to keep the faith
According to Pope (par. 1) the Bible states that people are given different measures of faith. This faith, which comes from God, is persistent regardless of circumstance and influences. This may be the reason why the narrator holds on to his faith. Wiesel’s faith is put to test in a number of events throughout the article. For instance, when he encounters a young boy who explained how his parents were involved in cold murder before his very own eyes, this dearly touches Wiesel such that he is tempted to doubt the abilities of God (Eliewisesel, 4). He analyzes the entire situation suggesting that God could have probably been wrong to let the child suffer when he is supposedly His chosen one. For this purpose, therefore he could not understand why God had abandoned him that much.
However, (Barlow par.2) suggests that humanbeings are not the judges of whatever happens here on earth. She alleges that we should leave all the worries to God (Barlow, par.3). In Pope’s (par. 3) “eight ways to increase your faith in God” article, she advises that we should learn how to depend on God entirely. She observes that human beings are used to depending on themselves, which is not helpful. Instead of this, talk to God about everything that one want done and He will provide an answer.
Wiesel’s faith is once more put to test when he encountered a young boy hanged. He describes this young boy as an angel faced (Eliewisesel, 8). At this site, he wonders how God would have watched this happen. He feels that God has an obligation to make sure that such like horrific things do not happen to his people. This makes him think “God is no more; He is dead and vanished forever” (Wiesel, 9). At the end of the day, he finds himself congregating together with the other Jewish believers praising the Almighty God (Eliewisesel, 12). He cannot just resist the faith in him, though he no longer kneels while praying, he still holds on to the righteous God of Abraham and Jacob.
Conclusion
God may be blind, deaf and invisible, but patience is a virtue of faith we cannot do without. But as much as human life is in existence, there is always a supernatural force always calling for kindness, love and humility amongst the living. Although things did not work for the narrator, and his faith received significant blows, holding on to the word of God helped him listen to His will. This enabled him to fully understand God. This is why he wisely in the end realized that possibly what was happening to the Jews was based on their faith. In the end therefore, he observes that besides everything, the Jews had conquered the world.
