This story was called in by a very chashuva yid by the name of Shlomie Bornstein. He said that he needed to get a new pair of shoes. He went to the shoe store and asked the worker, “I’m a size 8 1/2 and I want the same pair of shoes I have right now, do you have that?” The worker responded, “Sorry, not a chance. We’ve been out of 8 1/2 for a long time. The best I can give you is a size 8, but we don’t have anymore 8 1/2.” So Shlomie was thinking, “One second, you think just because the worker man said there’s no 8 1/2 in stock, I can’t get the size I need? Hashem’s the Kol Yachol. He can do everything and anything. He can make the exact size I need appear out of nowhere.” With that, he told the worker man, “Listen, you go get whichever pair is the closest to my size, and I’ll go have bitachon. Hashem is the Kol Yachol and can work everything out. So you do your part and I’ll do my part.” The worker said, “Sure, if that’s what you want.” He went and grabbed a shoe box saying size 8 on it, and before Shlomie opened it up, he said, “Hashem, You’re the Kol Yachol, you can make the shoes fit perfectly.” He opened it up and put on the shoes and they fit perfectly. He looked at the shoes and saw it said size 8 1/2! He turned to the worker man and said, “See, size 8 1/2.” The worker man said, “Wait, how’s that possible? I thought we ran out of size 8 1/2. But one thing we do know is that the shoes you’re wearing are size 8 1/2!” Read more: Daily Bitachon #1828
