Bitachon 104 - Confidence in Hashem
430 views
We discuss the passuk in Tehillim (11:1) which talks of Dovid Hamelech's confidence in Hashem, despite all the voices that claim he should 'be like a bird flying far into the mountains' in fear. It's that sense of confidence that he feels that helps him know that his request for help will be answered.

you're listening to the 104th edition of
the be talking podcast
we continue with silkim from represental
but she collated
and this is a plastic into Helen
King David tells David
to the conductor
the psalm of David
I trusted in Hashem
is
how can you say to my soul
fly off into the Hills OH bird
right there are many voices
we're gonna see lots of beautiful
it's just such a beautiful puzzle
there's so many voices that say to us
head off into the hills fly off Fly Away
you can't depend
on Hashem
and says despite those voices
despite the challenges despite the
people who are saying no you can't trust
in Hashem
I trust in Hashem
I will not fly away like a bird
you hear the birds
will not fly off into the mountains like
a bird
says like this
this means more this
uh chapter of tell him
of Psalms is chapter 11 verse 1 right
it was said by King David about the
people of
particular City
they said that they were ready to give
over King David to show them King Saul
was the king before David was running
after David to kill him the people of
killer said
they were ready to give him over Rashi
says
they had promised that they would give
over King David to King Saul
he had come to these people and you know
was trying to Avail himself
of these people to to help him protect
him but he says look Governor milk says
I trust in Hashem
not in you
you saw that I'm coming to be protected
in under your wings
but that's not the truth
I only trust in the one to whom
all the world belongs
that's how I went into one of God's
capes
in order to save myself
that's also I didn't see them inside but
I but from the other explanations as
well it uses this language obviously
it's continuation the verse is how will
you sh how will you say to my soul I'm
sorry that's this possible
how can you say to my soul
um fly off into the into the mountains
like a bird
how can you say to my soul
how can you say that I'm not going to
have what I need how can you say I'm not
going to be protected you're going to
get me over to show hooray
your power your strength is something
which is like a bird this is the child
of the yeah it's your strength is like a
bird it's it's
fluttering in the Wind
it's not it's not real I don't trust you
I only trust I put my trust in English
so it's very interesting because there's
two parts here there's one part is that
I can't trust in human beings I can't
trust
in people because they're not
they're not powerful enough to to
protect me
and
second of all
I don't need to trust in human beings
because I can't trust in Hashem
because ultimately my salvation will not
come
from humans
it will only come from Hashem and Hashem
as many ways to bring me salvation
now here in the savior he brings the
mayor to Elis who says
here there's a revelation of what
happens when a person has been talking
you have absolute faith and
the the connecting
the sense of connection the person who
has this confidence in Hashem
that he has
um
he says that a person who
his heart indeed
is connected so
it doesn't have to be an absolute salad
you don't have to be such a perfect
person in order for God to provide you
with your needs
about you of a person who's done stuff
wrong
he's done things wrong and nevertheless
he comes
even though I've sinned even though I'm
not perfect even though I've done things
wrong I've turned away from my son
still I trust in Hashem in King room
so why will you say to me that I need to
run
away let's forget the first shot for a
moment why do I need why are you telling
me I need to run away like a bird off
into the mountains
no need to run anywhere it might seem
like I was running away from Hashem
but I don't need to run anywhere I can
always fly right back into the nest fly
right back who shine my trust in you
says
voices may say I've run away but I've
not run away turning back to your son
when sudas David says
how will you say about my soul
right like we saw King Saul was running
after him to kill him
and he's like a bird fluttering away
chased away
and this bird there was a trap already
set up for the bird
and as soon as it flies out of the nest
it's going to be caught
foreign
would fall into the hands of Saul
hello
how can you say that I'm destined to be
caught there's no hope there's no chance
for me it says
it can't be I trust in Hashem and my
confidence guarantees
that I'll be saved
during the Massachusetts
this is similar to that which the Bali
Karm States
this is another explanation
he brings to the ballet column the Bali
Karm says that after we see
that rashem
have made every effort
they do all that they can
to damage us
to damage the righteous people the
enemies of the Jewish people do all that
they can
to hurt us
because
to to
people who are whole or as simple we're
foolish in a certain sense
but they don't succeed
right so a person is
is a fool a certain person is a fool
they're not able to protect themselves
they're not smart enough to protect
themselves and what do we see Hashem
protects these fools
not because of Any wisdom that they have
because they don't have any wisdom he
protects them
Hashem Hashem protects even the fools
so that's what the Bali Karma says he's
and so the the brings this to explain
what's going on in our pasok
this is what King David means when he
says over here
how can you deny that God
is intimately involved in our lives you
deny that Hashem is involved in my life
so you are saying to my soul
you say that I'm running away from those
who are chasing me I'm I'm like a bird
fluttering foreign
it's flying out of its nest landing on
one mountain Another Mountain
and in The Valleys have
um
you say that I'm just completely onerous
there's nobody that cares about me
there's nobody that's watching out for
me that's that's trying to help me
but experience proves the opposite
this is something that we see every day
we see with our own eyes
many Wicked people they try so hard
to prepare a net
for us to be trapped with him for the
righteous to be trapped within but they
don't succeed
it's not because the the righteous
person is so smart
are so able
he's very weak physically exotic is
often
not so strong Williams
doesn't have the ability to escape to
run away from them
it's only one reason
says
is successful that he that he's he
escapes from the Russia
it's because who is watching that person
Hashem is
taking care of that person from heaven
is making sure that nothing happens he's
making sure that he's protected
saying I know I can trust in Hashem why
is every single day I look around
and I see
people are protected there's a
supernatural protection
for someone who's righteous
so according
you're obligated to look around and
notice is calling us reminding us look
around and notice all of the times all
of the situations
where people were saying where you were
saved or you were protected where we are
protected how many times do our enemies
want to hurt us to destroy us to to look
what happened in Batar a few weeks ago
the bus there was a bus where the bomb
was placed
didn't that didn't detonate it was
located before the detonation
how many times does some protect us were
not so smart we're not so
aware and yet he protects us
I trusted in Hashem
I trust in Hashem in his Divine
Providence
means even more than Divine Providence
it means
he watches over me individually that's
what brothers means he watches over me
individually
says I trust that Hashem is watching
over me individually
why are you telling me fly off like a
bird into the into the mountains Pierce
him
the fact that I'm chased the fact that
it seems like they're out to get me they
are out to get me really had people who
were chasing after him to kill him
foreign
the the voices in our heads or the
voices of our enemies or the voices of
the wicked who say to us look God
doesn't care about you
there's no ashkaka you're being chased
after by by those who want to destroy
you
can Adidas
you're telling me that the movement the
running away the challenges the
difficulties are not they're not as a
result of God's Divine Providence
I do not accept that explanation for
reality
I believe that everything that happens
in my life
the the good and the not so good
it's all from
every single thing that happens in my
life is when as we mentioned in previous
weeks the very fact that I recognize
that takes away the necessity
for the actual negative thing to come
about
the purpose of the negative thing is in
order for me to to lean on Hashem
to turn tashem to ask God for help
finally
who says the following beautiful idea
before Magic
the magician that you can rabbit says
bringing the passage
listen to this this is really quite
amazing
God is close to all those who call out
to him
says imagine she might think that God is
close to whoever calls out to him
foreign
which means Hashem is going to be in a
person's life take care of the person
save the person Etc
for whom
those who call out Hashem
for real
they are sincere
in their supplication and their prayer
says
how does Hashem deny the request
of the wicked someone was wicked he
turns Hashem I'm not talking about
anybody any of us
we're in the middle of the road people
but what about someone who's Wicked who
calls it to Hashem Hashem has no choice
Hashem has to respond
hello
and she was not gonna make his Terror
falsified by not responding with a
wicked person asks for help Hashem
responds to every call for help even
from a wicked person
okay
an incredible thing
you should know
your name if a wicked person calls that
to Hashem he will answer them
that's a guarantee that's what the
terrorist says
um
what does Hashem do he takes away their
confidence
he takes away their be talking so that
they will not call out to him
they will not trust in him
not sure
someone who gives up on being saved
it's not going to be saved
can I be talking soon
so now let's take this to the other side
a wicked person Hashem
puts it he weakens his confidence he
weakens his be talking so that he won't
be talking in Hashem you want to Faith
on Hashem but what about us we are
trying our artists that we're talking on
Hashem
if we are trying to be talking in
hashems
if I have been talking it's a sign for
myself
if I really feel confidence in God
I will certainly be saved
if I feel confidence
I feel confident
that's a sign that Hashem wants to help
me I'm not Wicked wants to save me
doesn't want a person to be saved he
puts it in his heart that he can't be
talking
it just feels it cannot be talking
and as I'm saying this I'm reminded of
one of the stories tells him I'll be
talking where this person banged on the
table bang bang bang
we can get into that space to be talking
we can get in there it's possible we can
Bang Bang
but a person
who's Wicked can't get there and Hashem
doesn't allow to get there we
we are regular people if we feel a real
sense to be talking it's a sign that
we're in a really good place and and the
Yeshua the Salvation is on its way
so King David says to those
who said that Hashem is not taking care
of Hashem is not watching over you Ajram
is not interested in you personally
he says he says I I feel it
I feel be talking I feel confident
so how can you say to me fly off into
the hills like a bird
Is Not Gonna Save Me
I feel the confidence in me
zzelli oisamas this is a true sign
s
this is a true sign Hashem wants to save
me
and in front of him I shall be able to
stand
and I shall live
such an incredible vote
we can have confidence
and we can strengthen ourselves with our
confidence give me more confident
because we're confident
that's what we talking looks like
incredible
thank you so much for listening
we'll see you again next time
