Bitachon 117 - On Tranquil Waters

you're listening to the 117th edition of the be talking podcast and we continue in the famous I'm not missing anything and amazingly I never know where I'm going to film these podcasts and we're going to learn the positive in the Beautiful fields you will give me rest on calm Waters you will lead me and you know it's the middle of the summer here in arts Israel and I did not expect to find a little nachal of running water in the middle of this sunny time in this sunny place and Hashem led me here I don't usually know exactly where I'm going to go but this is where Hashem brought me and uh there's a car passing by so that's okay as long as he doesn't hi shalom cool tada Okay so so uh here we are Hashem gives me this pasok and gives me this beautiful location with the running water as you can see as you can hopefully hear as well learning so the magic says like this is the following question because Ryan when the Jewish people left Egypt Ian where did he get clothes from for the entire 40 years now it's interesting to me that he's asking this question because they were in a cave for 13 years and they had no clothes so maybe that's why you asked the question said that the they they were able to use the clothing that the Angels gave them to to wear foreign what about the the sweat what about the they were wearing these clothes all the time every day for 40 years didn't it get disgusting they didn't change their clothes somewhere it's like you see over here next to this water there's lots of grass so there was a bit air the air Miriam and which we spoke about in this past week's parisha right the bear Miriam all around it the water would come and all kinds of grasses would grow but not just grass but different types of good smelling herbs whose name is they would use them they would place the herbs and the and the grasses upon the smelly areas of their body and it would it would make them smell good right like we saw last week that this this chapter is speaking about the midboard speaking about the experience of the Jews in their sojourn in the in the wilderness they used that's what this public is referring to according to turbish they used the grasses and the herbs in order to make them smell self smell nice now La Mai enough Camino why is this important for me to know Kevin is when the Jewish people saw how Hashem takes care of them and and helps them to smell good in the mid bar in the wilderness which was really quite impossible right in a natural way is healing with Carlson I say they started to praise Hashem you are a good God you don't lack anything you don't hold back any good from us so this Posse as we're going to see in the various proportion expresses how Hashem gives us plentiful plentiful good so much good right Hashem did not need to provide me with this location for this podcast right I could have been out in the hotter area in a spot where there's where there's trees and where there's where it's quite dry but Hashem provides for us in a plentiful way Hashem gives us Beyond in a way that we it's not scrimping it's not just getting by a shampoo vice president away which is plentiful did with us right he could have left us there in the Midway and we all smelled bad and we all just dealt with it right but no Hashem gave us all the water and all the plants that we needed in order to have natural deodorants amazing the smorno the nice Dasha you tame is a nice sub officially it's my last sea game so here's another important thing it says the svarna Hashem gives me my sustenance in a way that doesn't require me to spend all of my time on my sustenance it's an interesting thing in our times you know people are so involved in their partner so they're so involved in their livelihood it's on their phones it's on their computers we have a hard time letting go of being involved with our businesses but the bracha is the blessing is that we don't have to spend all of our time endlessly connected endlessly involved in our parnassa but rather Dasher in a beautiful field plentiful field with tons of grass with all that we need the yave it says in a similar vein muscle it's a marshall this is an analogy this this plentiful grass is an analogy for for the needs that I have in this world now Hashem will give them to me easily is right if a if a flock of sheep are in a field it only has a small amount of grass so they'll go around from place to place it will be it will be a lot of effort they will get what they need but when they come to a field which has plentiful grass which has tons of grass which has tons of food so then they'll get what they need without a tremendous amount of effort so according who can provide for us and he does provide for us and that's what governor is recognizing that Hashem provides for me or he's praying Hashem provide for me with all of all of my needs with minimal effort says that he leads us upon Pleasant Waters foreign so this hints to the fact that Hashem will provide for me plentifully for the good things the the enjoyments of the body in an easy ways right the natural world doesn't provide this is a person doesn't want to work hard so he's not going to get too much he's going to end up with very little produce he's going to end up with very little means it's not going to have so much Hashem promises that if we fear him if we have a true relationship with Hashem a proper relationship with him then we're going to have everything that we need in an easy way right when we have bitachham so all that we need will be provided for us just like the water just flows the water will just flow will just come we won't have to expend too much effort we won't have to be overly involved overly constantly looking for what we need foreign this is a this is an unbelievable thing let's say all human beings will encounter a situation similar to what the Sheep encounter might say desha isma if they find a field where there's a lot of a lot of grass so that's where they will graze and that's what they will eat and enjoy but it's not the same place that they're going to relax and that they're going to you know sleep and rest because in the natural world so if it's hot right you go out into open field it's hot right I'm in a place which is there's a lot of shade there's a lot of trees around me so it's not so hot rabbit naturally if you're out in the field in an open area there's going to be a lot of sun when it's the sunny season there's gonna be a lot of rain when it's the rainy season if he comes to his shelter come to a place where you have protection from the elements that's where you're going to rest that's where you're going to be able to crouch to lay down Etc but it's going to be a contradiction to also finding the enjoyable grass that you want to graze upon if you're a sheep can you imagine a place where you have plenty of grass and you also have shelter in this place where you can rest less you are in your house everything is coming right to you you have everything that you want to enjoy right there to be able to relax and you'll have protection from the hot from the Heat and from the sun when gesha Mitch rice and from the rainy season um and from the cold of night I mean and from the attacking lion and bear becomes and you're also going to have in that location all of the sustenance that you need all of the grass the Graze upon us this is an amazing and doubled and quadrupled type of situation so Governor is saying Hashem that's the kind of situation that you give me that's the kind of that's the kind of location I find myself in when I trust in you when I place my trust in you when I'm in the wilderness just like the Jews were in the wilderness those 40 years and had known upon whom to rely except for Hashem foreign so this is how gives us this kind of analogy and says that Hashem you're going to to give me a place to rest in these beautiful is in a place where there's no challenge there's no difficulties no uh situations which could cause damage to the person my side in my very home in the very place where I'm protected from the elements of Hashem sends the blessings as if I'm finding the grass there like we find myself right what does it look like in Practical terms it looks like that Sarah had blessings sorry I mean who had blessings upon her her her dough the dough that she was making bread it would be blessed it would come out much larger perhaps than one would have expected or it would be more filling the bread that she served her family Tilly so too the blessing that we're searching after that we're we're praising Hashem for that we expect when we had be talking is that Hashem will protect me without any type of difficulties without me having to go through all kinds of challenges running from one place to another in order to get the money that I need okay we're gonna arrive arrivalsi I'll also be very relaxed and resting in a wonderful way both in newly so they have tremendous endless good from Hashem which comes in a place of relaxation in a place where I don't have to do too much work it's possible and it depends on my relationship with Hashem it depends on my be talking and here in the note below he brings another thing where Hampshire continues and says even because they have to actually extra gun eventually an important point maybe if I get everything that I need maybe if I get a relaxed life in this world I won't end I'll lose for my grenade then from my for my world to come Hashem when it refers to the waters the the relaxed Waters so that's a reference to the Eternal Bliss of the Garden of Eden I'm not going to lose out there either I'll have my scar waiting for me I'll have my reward that eternal relationship and enjoyment of hashem's light each person has a different uh type of reward a different type of situation in the world to come so King David is saying even though I'm successful in this world because Hashem God is my shepherd the one who is who has incredible Mercy he is my shepherd the xr2v I won't be missing the good in the world to come is I'm going to be sure that I'm going to have everything that I need even in the world to come I will have eternal Bliss it won't be taken away just because I got I got a good a good situation I have a good situation in this world okay the next Mafia is here I don't know who is there what is the idea here in this pasok the future so he said I'm not going to be lacking anything right says I'm not gonna be liking anything I'm sorry my shepherd I won't be missing anything I'm not lacking anything you know if I'm not missing anything it could be I have exactly what I need but I don't have an abundance foreign that's what he says now Hashem will provide for me because it might be talking with abundance I'm gonna have more than I need Hashem is going to send me beyond my needs is going to be so much rain in United Israel that the Wilderness the places this exact situation the Wilderness that should have no water it's gonna be filled with water and it's going to be an abundance of grass growing as it is today Nancy throw Barren will become full of grass so wherever I want to sit down and relax and enjoy the grass I'm going to be able to do so because there's plenty of grass there now he brings him who says when the shepherd does good is so he in the afternoon he goes and he brings his sheep to relax in places where there's plenty of grass is there are places where they go so this is a little bit of a different approach but there are places where they go where there's lots of grass for the sheep and there's a spot for the Royal for the shepherd to to be under the shade and to be protected to enjoy foreign so this is a mushroom this is an analogy that in this world is saying as we've said that Hashem or either it's a statement of um absolutely positive this is what's going to be or it's a prayer the Hashem is going to give me the most beautiful place to live and I'm going to have wealth and I'm going to have honor hello this is the next shot again from this that he gives me uh the messiahness he gives me the the food I need Hashem does another kindness which is to give me a sense of completeness in my soul Hashem will give me a location a place to live a beautiful place a place which is beautiful it gives me a pet set a backyard yes a place that I can enjoy emotionally intellectually um and because I have my needs fulfilled I'm going to also be able to get an a connection to intellectual matters to Torah so those things that those things that are spiritual okay so this plastic is interestingly talking to us and saying we're gonna have everything that we need on us on a on a physical level so that we can have everything that we need on a spiritual level as well and essentially I've been saying he last shot here from the food which I put a star next to so this is really an important Point listen carefully be nice because [Applause] when when Hashem will bring me to Grace bring me to a location of grazing which is fat which is good there's so much good stuff there there's so much grass to graze upon um so he will bring me to a place of relaxation relaxed Waters right what can happen when we have everything that we need right when when everything is good we can come heaven forbid to to rebel against Hashem which is a reference to the Jewish people we can get fat we can get rich we can have all of our needs provided for and then we can easily rebel against Hashem forget about Hashem forbid because generally speaking a person Rebels against Hashem when they think that they've got it all taken care of they have everything that they need like that's the that's the challenge of wealth he's praying and asking Hashem for divine assistance please Hashem help me that I shouldn't have this problem please Hashem help me go and be able to enjoy the relaxed Waters a place where I am still connected to you just like this this water this flowing water it has a source what's the source is the source of all of the Waters of Life shall help me be able to stay connected to you and remember and recognize that you are the source of life that you are the source of all of my needs thank you so much for listening see you again next time
