Terrific Story….It is very well known that at a person’s hardest Nisyonos, if he/she overcomes them, Bracha and Hatzlocho will pour down onto him/her from the Heavens.
I once heard that when a person is faced with a Nisayon then there is a lot happening “upstairs”. Both the Malachim who defend a person and Malachim that are Mekatrug (prosecutors) are there watching every move you do. If Chas Vesholom one fails and looks at the pritzus etc. then the prosecutors rejoice and tell Hashem is this person not worthy of a punishment in Olom Hazeh for his misdeeds? And if the person succeeds then the Defending Malachim say to Hashem, this is truly your chosen people. This is such a Kiddush Hashem in Shomayim that a person may ask for whatever one wishes and it’s almost guaranteed that they’ll be listened to. So just remember this for the next time you have that Nisayon where the choice is either a second of superficial pleasure or eternal glory, then choose!
Hatzlocho Rabbah.
