As we return to whatever we call normal life following Pesach, I'm sure there are a lot of people feeling let down that we didn't see any trace of Moshiach. However, this is not the time to give up. The war is still going, Hormuz is still closed, the world is a mess, and no-one knows what lies ahead.
The following is by Rabbi David Hanania Pinto
Expressing thanks even after experiencing grief
"And Aharon's sons, Nadav and Avihu, each took his pan… And fire went forth from before the L-rd and consumed them, and they died before the L-rd… And Aharon was silent" [Shemini 10:1-3]
Chazal say that when Aharon's two sons, Nadav and Avihu, died, the Torah praises Aharon by testifying, "And Aharon was silent," and he received reward for his silence.
But there is another level which is even higher than that, as we find by David Hamelech, the Mashiach of Hashem. After all the troubles and grief that he experienced, he declared: "So that my soul will sing praises to You and not be silent." This implies that he even sings praises to Hashem for all his trials and hardships!... [Tiferet Shlomo]
