s Smith series is generously sponsored by the Saka family and sponsored as well by for we are on the we've been describing what does we ask to bestow to Grant a good a goodly to not just give don't just give a reward but it's a good reward to all those who believe not believe in you but believe in your name we last left off last night that we EXP we can't come to know and we can't certainly impact he's omnipotent infinite he's immutable he's perfect he's the source of all existence that's why we make a we can we can Elevate or we can sanctify his name God forbid desecrate his name but not him can't change him and similarly our and our faith and our trust is in his name means how he's manifest how we come to know the part of him that we have access to but come back to the question we asked a few days ago we don't have reward in this world so why are we asking for a reward and moreover don't worship like an we don't do the right thing in order to get a reward we do the right thing because it's the right thing and all of a sudden in this where we list and enumerate and we want to be counted among them or the piece of us that's a or or or the within us and now we're asking Hashem don't forget we want to be that but we also want you to pay us pay us for it give us a for it so I thought we don't ask for reward so we gave one answer which is a life of is when you live a life of and you're able to see and interpret and experience everything that happens in life and to you as not necessarily pleasurable there are painful things that happen to good people but there are no bad things that happen to good people K by definition all that he does is good it may be painful it could be unbearably painful but somehow still our faith and our trust is that it's good so when a person lives when we place our trust in him the the reward is to is living a life where we see that's what we said previously others suggest others suggest that what is the when is it that when is it there's no reward in this world some extraneous external reward so for example if I made it to minion I got there early I didn't talk the whole time I concentrated and I stayed till the end let me bring in new business that day let my favorite team win in the playoffs that day let some external reward from the action that we did but that's not what we're asking for here what we're asking for here is that the result of the B is that hem show us favor in that which we're having B about so we're putting our trust in you because something Needs Trust in that moment Health parnasa marriage fertility that the flight take off on time whatever the case may be whatever it is we're asking reciprocate that whatever we put our trust in you indeed in fact Let it help us and this is commencer with the says person who puts their trust in hem surrounds them sohem by immersing ourselves in you by letting go and letting God by submitting and surrendering to you by recognizing you're in charge you're in control we take our initiative we do our part and afterwards it's all up to you the result is and what's the that we're asking for is the we want to be surrounded by also a pretty good catchy song what is this and what's the result so the the result the reward is when we put our trust in Hashem we have a good relationship with Hashem that in fact is the reward for that relationship our relationship with Hashem is like relationships in this world if a couple put trust in one another confide in one another love one another demonstrate that loyalty to one another they don't get some external reward o new jewelry cards new golf clubs get to go out with the guy reward is not an external reward what's the reward for demonstrating love being in love what's the reward for being loyal a loyal relationship that is so that's the says that's exactly what the says and what's the what's the reward had a different interpretation or based on an interpretation of the brisar PK says it's not yet El still allowed to sit there a little bit put your trust in your hope in be strong find courage in your heart and be hopeful to hasem why do we repeat ourselves and now we have to repeat so the bris said magnificent interpretation he said the the reward that gives is he gives you more he gives you more and that's the in the you listening [Applause] you're facing and confronting a difficult circumstance uncertainty doubt anxiety you don't know what's going to be put your trust somehow find the resolve somehow find the ability to trust Hashem trust him and you know what the reward is then hasem is going to strengthen and put courage in your heart and you'll be able to trust him even more you don't know how am I going to get where I need to go how will I get through this how will I overcome this how will I navigate around this where will this trust come from put a little bit of trust inem and said the brisar that's the the reward for demonstrating trust inem is he'll give you more trust in him he'll give you more trust so maybe that's the what's the I thought we don't get reward in this world the reward for having he gives us more demonstrate a little and he'll provide more in order to get through in order to get around and over what we need to we still didn't address why and what do you mean can you have another kind of is there a that that the qualifies it only what's the difference between we'll pick up with next time
