Bitachon 102 - Growth from the Challenges

you're listening to the 102nd edition of the be talking podcast and we shall continue with the person of represental as expanded by the mafortion but success Hashem will be a Miss gov the word Miss gov means someone who provides abundance for the poor person Doc is someone who's pushed away who's poorly it is Sam will support the person and bring abundance to the one who is going through difficult times let's see there's a few important points here in the before shim some very short some very long the redoxes like this is at any time when Hashem is judging judging a person Hashem will provide abundance he will save the person foreign that even though the person is poor which means that he doesn't have power he's strong he's he's not strong I'm sorry he's very lowly he doesn't have the power Hashem will not allow those who are stronger than him to to overcome this person Hashem will strengthen this person he will provide help for the poor person the weak person commission is given by Israel ites just like Hashem provides and helps provides sustenance prosperity abundance to the Jewish people we are a nation that naturally doesn't have is poor is is under the boot of our enemies he brings here on the Note but Allah says in in Michele in Proverbs chapter 29 verse 26. the robag explains on this plastic there it says that the one who trusts in Hashem he will be expanded because God made the reality foreign even though intuitively perhaps you would say the opposite people are poor people are pathetic people who are the underdog they're under the boot of those who are more powerful than them the law of the Jungle applies says they're all bug it's not true it's not true there's actually a law a spiritual law which states the opposite Hashem does not allow those who are weak those who are lonely to be trampled by those who are more powerful because the one who is above all of them one who's the most powerful the one who's the most high Hashem protects these people and therefore a poor person he's guaranteed he's guaranteed that he's going to be saved from those who seem to be stronger than him Deuteronomy chapter 30 verse 18. that God does judgment for the yesim is the the one who is lost a parent the Widow the orphan Hashem takes care of these people right there are people who are downtrodden there are people who don't have power they don't have the wherewithal to provide for themselves Hashem takes care of them he points out here in the note that you should you should be mediac exacting in a language he says this is the order of reality right so it's counter-intuitive thought of reality you would think is whoever stronger wins the law of the jungle survival of the fittest says not that way it's not survival of the fittest it's the other way around and protects the person who's downtrodden should protects the person who calls out and says Hashem please help me please save me the one who trusts in Hashem because he has no one else to trust him that's there a duck and they're all bug foreign the people of Israel the Jewish people are naturally a weak Nation where a nation has pushed away we're poor we have a lowly spirit we don't have naturally right it's only in the last 75 years that we have a country of our own an army of our own we don't naturally have that there's an advantage to being weak and poor so to speak because Hashem is the one who stands up and saves them and provides them in the times of trouble if um the challenge is that the people of Israel the people of Jacob endure they the Jewish people will be saved from those challenges by Hashem because Hashem is constantly looking at the Jewish people and trying to figure out so to speak how he can provide for us how he can save us how he can give us our needs so there's a certain advantage to being poor to being lowly to being lowly of spirit because Hashem comes to the aid of those this is a natural rule this is the order of reality so it comes to the aid of those who are lowly of spirit who are downtrodden who need help so just thinking about this and as we see in the in the continuation just thinking about this you know a person wants to get out of their challenges wants to get out of their troubles person naturally wants the wants to be free but there's a certain advantage to being in a trouble there's a certain advantage to being in a challenge to being in a state of of poverty so to speak in a state of lack and the advantage is that I turned Hashem I don't think I'm going to do it myself I'm not in a state of ego I'm in a state of the state of now a submission King David says that which I request of you is Hashem please be someone who saves a person who is missing merits that's it save this individual King David is asking he knows that there are going to be Jews in the future or maybe in his own times certainly on into our times is going to be Jews his children's great grandchildren the people who he feels responsible for he knows that there are going to be people who do not have the merits they they're not they don't have them the Commandments they haven't fulfilled them properly they haven't learned enough and the best in shall Mala the court up above in heaven is is going to find them guilty so he prays he asks Hashem please come to their aid come to the aid of those who are are bereft of mitzvah's bereft of merits Villa sorrow foreign and King David says don't only wait to save somebody who has prayed before they were in trouble it's easy to pray when we're in trouble right there are no atheists on a foxhole when you're in trouble there's no there's nowhere else to turn you turn do you look up to the heavens right you ask hashan for for salvation says don't look at that negatively don't don't say well you've been talking to me before why should I save him now says please Hashem answer the prayers of the person who's desperate even though he only turned to you in times of trouble but still answer his prayers another small thing from the bearer of rum another similar idea a person may not have been able to give charity to others right often Hashem treats us the way we treat others right measure for measure if I've given charity if I've done what's right hashem's gonna have to do charity with me save me in my times of trouble excuse me the bathroom says that did Philip David again was the person hasn't done charity person hasn't properly created the merits that he needs the spiritual merits in order to be saved but despite that take care of this person yeah still save him from judgment save him from challenges save him from from times of trouble foreign the person who is broken broken lonely of spirit because of his troubles because of the Jesus his difficulties that he's going through a person you know we don't want troubles we don't ask for difficulties we don't look for the things we don't look for the challenges and the troubles but we should know this is something that we see from this pasok that the challenges and the troubles that we experience they put us into a different mindset they put us into a place of subservient station a place of submission to reality and that's an incredible thing when a person has when a person feels submissive when a person feels lowly of spirit is such a person can come in front of Hashem it's like he's brought all of the carbonics he brought all of his sacrifices what happens when a person brings a Karma think about it you bring a sacrifice what does it mean it's called a sacrifice right you have an animal it's expensive it's not cheap to to bring in bring a core of one to bring a sacrifice it's an expensive thing you take your money and you put it on the animal you buy an animal and you bring that animal and they just check they sacrifice in front of God and that's going to atone for me for my sins how does that work I gave up something I sacrificed something you know when I when I when I go through something challenging I go through difficulties it's an incredible sacrifice and that's an incredible school it's an incredible marriage he brings here in the notes because Shining see what the rabiniana says in mishlay chapter 3 verse 20 26 so because of the China he writes like this when a person has challenges and he's and he feels crushed by them you should trust in Hashem you should trust in the kindness and the mercy of Hashem Hashem will have compassion on him in the face of his challenges because he he has submitted himself because he's been crushed the very fact that the person was crushed the very fact the person now trusts in Hashem places his hope in Hashem leans on Hashem that's an incredible Choice it's an incredible Merit for him that he should be saved see my challenge see my loneliness my my poverty and there was no sir I have an extended ability to to depend on Hashem I have a deeper ability to depend on Hashem when I go through challenges because those challenges they crush me they make me feel like spiritually in the right place to be able to trust in Hashem to be able to Merit to have that salvation to have that connection that I need oh before that I just want to say one little thing yesterday last night excuse me I married it to go to the anuka Bari in Mission and besides her asking for a blessing for myself I also just wanted to watch I wanted to watch how he interacted with everybody such love so much care just watching for I don't know at least a half an hour just watching and there was a young man who came in there with a three-year-old boy and he told yanuka how this boy has to have a surgery on his heart because there's something that didn't heal they waited a certain amount of time and had to have a surgery and he gave him a broccoli and everything should go well with the surgery and then afterwards the the father of this boy said that on another note he said that about a year and a half ago I'm not sure if I heard this correctly but it seems to me that I did about a year and a half ago he lost his job and he asked for help or advice or bracha blessing and the yanuka said to him that it could be that the fact that you lost your job could be discuss or maybe he said it will I don't remember how he said it it will be as that the surgery should go well that everything should be well with your child but it brings out this very idea that you know we go through challenges and difficulties in life and who knows what is the Merit that we need in order to have something good come our way to have a refuge to have a Salvation in another area of our life so the challenges and the difficulties that we go through they themselves are a powerful spiritual device that Hashem uses to help us like this listen to this it's incredible abramovino says it's a message he says in front of Hashem is he says I've looked at my muzzle I've looked in the stars and I see that I'm not gonna be able to have children said to him that very star that you looked at and you saw that you're not gonna have kids I want to tell you something that very star I can show you that if you look carefully at the star the star says that you will have kids my name is says that from this statement of our Sages I had I was sparked to a very deep understanding and this is that when it comes to the Jewish people knowing that there's knowing that there's a decree against us that knowledge itself can cause the decree to be rescinded what I mean to say is when a person realizes that that's it the evil is coming it's on its way and there's incredible judgment upon him knowing that that the that the nooses around our neck knowing that the challenge the difficulty is about to come upon us strengthens us to juva think about the story of Purim it strengthens us to chuva to repent zero it causes us to come back to God to return to recognize what we've done wrong and to nullify the decree names so what happens in the end the evil which was decreed upon him right avram saw that look in the Stars I'm not gonna have kids the very evil that was decreed upon Him caused him to speak Hashem to to reach out to God as it were and it became the means of his salvation the very threat of danger causes us to do chuva causes us to repent to return to Hashem and then for for the xer to be rescinded because we are we're thinking about ourselves or recognizing what's going on ends off the people of Israel Hashem King David says the Hashem should be a Salvation for for the poor person for us the one who saves us from difficult situations the very threat the very thing itself the difficult situation the difficult time the oppressive situation itself is what saves us is what brings us back to is what brings us back to a relationship with God foreign this is what Abraham says to God I'm sorry this is what Hashem says Abraham that very star is the very starter that I'm showing you that you're not gonna have kids that's what's going to Spur you into back into a relationship with me and it will cause you to have kids intentionally shows avraham this star which seems to say the opposite of what it's going to be so that he can start to use his words and you should pray for this matter and it will turn around the curse to a blessing and with that I want to end and I want to mention something that the yanukkah just put out yesterday he asked everybody that over the next few days until Sunday that everybody say to him Psalms chapter 37 83 144 and pray on behalf of the Jewish people here in arts Israel that we should have salvation should have mercy upon us obviously it's a challenging time right now and it's a serious time and we need to dive in and that's what we see over here the challenges are an opportunity for us to strengthen our relationship with Hashem should help us indeed that we should be able to do that thank you so much for listening we'll see you again next time
