כתיב (תהילים י״ט:ג׳) יום ליום יביע אומר, ופירש הבעל שם טוב ז"ל, כי כל יום מתפאר לחבירו במעשה הצדיק שנעשה בו: (דברי שלום פ' תשא, לקוטי אמרים די"ד ע"ב ד"ה ואתחנן).
“Day to day utters speech…” That is, each day boasts to its friend about the deeds that the Tzaddik did on it.5“The days speak and boast. One says, ‘The Tzaddik did this thing on me!” and the other one says, ‘The Tzaddik did this thing on me!’” (Divrei Shalom, Derash l’Purim). The Maggid of Mezritch explains that the entire creation exists only for the sake of human beings, to become uplifted through their service of G-d. When a Tzaddik – a fully realized human being – serves G-d, he justifies the creation of that day, which then “boasts” of the goodness that was performed on it. The Maggid tells the parable of a king who sends his generals to battle, with their lieutenants and troops. After the battle is won, each general praises his lieutenant’s wisdom. (Rimzei Torah 207). See also the story of “The Thirteen Beggars,” in Tales of Rabbi Nachman, in which time is described as being created from the deeds of kindness performed each day. Divrei Shalom, Ki Sisa
