Bitachon 120 - Torah and Abundance

you're listening to the 120th edition of the be talking podcast we can continue directly says King David says prepare in front of me a table across from my enemies Place oil upon my head let my cup overflow foreign places in front of me a set table what does it mean it means that before the human being was even created in the world so Hashem placed in front of him he set the table everything was ready the entire creation was put in place another mauritian was brought onto the scene to a world that was already ready for his use foreign this represents for us the fact that Hashem prepares for each and every one of us right each each person is their own world right we find colors whoever uh give sustenance or saves a single person it's like they've saved the entire world right so Hashem just like he prepared for the first human being the entire gamut of opportunities for him to use for him to use Hashem in the service of God so too Hashem creates for each and every one of us a set table it's all here it's all ready for us to access and to use Hashem places us here he gives us our talents he gives us our particular family situation Etc everything is here it's set up just for us custom made tailor-made for us he brings from the diruche Rabino moishami Imran remember right as you mentioned last week so this parake of tehilim speaks about the fact that Hashem gives us all of our needs in a very prosperous way in a very plentiful way and sometimes it's not that way right like we saw last week sometimes Hashem gives us challenges gives us difficulties takes away the things that it seems like we need or doesn't give us the things that we think we need but says Imran that when a person and this public is coming to teach us that there is Cycles in life when a person is trying to fulfill the Torah when he's seeking out studying the Torah understanding hashem's will understanding the precepts of the Torah so when a person starts off doing that in a state of oini in a state of poverty ultimately he's going to be able to fulfill the terror in a state of wealth my name is this is what this chapter is saying at the beginning it speaks about the fact that Hashem places me in fields of plentiful green grass is material so here this this shot is that I'm going to the fields and eating the grass because I don't have bread and it's it represents the grass represents my inability to support myself properly I have to eat the grass of the field okay I don't have all of my needs I just want to learn Torah I'll take whatever I can get I just want to learn Torah I just want to be committed to my relationship with Hashem is saying according to this understanding that I know it's not going to be this way forever I know there's going to come a time when my table is set I have everything that I need I have oil flowing over my head I have overflowing cups everything is in front of me everything is provided for me foreign my table will be larger than the table of my oppressors the ones who say to me hey what are you sitting and learning for why are you involved in your avoidance of sharing your service of God go get a job right now is going to show that the person who focuses his life his his being on service of Hashem in the end he doesn't just get service of Hashem he gets physical wealth as well because I was willing to sacrifice and to live a life of poverty in order to service them properly ultimately I'm going to serve Hashem with wealth but not just that I'm going to be able to continue to serve Hashem despite my wealth despite the challenges of wealth commercial that's what it means they just say that when I serve Hashem in poverty ultimately I'll serve him in wealth services so he's promised two things number one it's not going to remain poor all his life he's going to end up wealthy and number two he's going to be able to continue to serve Hashem despite the wealth despite the things that pull him down as a result of his wealth location that's how King David says place in front of me a set table which is a reference to wealth Mercedes tell us that if a person wants to get rich so in his prayers you should turn instead of facing due east a little bit to the north actually it's this way a little bit to the north face a little bit to the north why because the shulchron the table in the mishkan in the Tabernacle in the basement which represents wealth was in the North so Tara Cleveland is speaking about represents a person's wealth his ability to have everything that he needs which comes from Hashem that his Prairie is to be able to continue to serve Hashem properly despite the wealth despite the world to be able to continue to be humble to be connected to learn to focus properly on my evolution now he brings a better off from human so they have Roman explaining what King David is saying when he speaks about this table which is set in front of me so first we spoke about having everything that we need plentiful grass Etc we spoke about the challenges as we said and now he's talking back about having everything I need if I'm retirement plastic says give me all of my needs give me this table set in front of my oppressors what's this language foreign who are our oppressors who are the ones who bear us ill will who are the ones who are trying to knock us down so of course there are human beings to do that but within ourselves the time is the desires of our physical body pull us in the direction of doing things that we know we not we ought not to do the the body pulls Us in the direction pulls Us in directions that we don't want to be headed but says this is amazing because it's an important powerful lesson I cannot be talking I can pray I can ask Hashem for Seattle some help me in my physical challenges through the difficulties that I go through because of the difficulties that I go through as we saw last week it's a lesson in life Hashem is guiding me Hashem is Hashem is giving me a patch sometimes you know to get me back on the right path in order to make sure I'm doing that which is correct in order to make sure that I am not giving it to my physical desires the great uh the great armies that the eight Sahara commands the evil and clinician commands these great armies that want our downfall by drawing us into physical Temptations that's something that we say Hashem give me power in front of my enemies give me the tools that I need in order to make sure that I'm not doing the things that I know are wrong now he brings here from the loving column is in order to understand this entire mismo this entire section what King David is saying is that the person of Faith needs to believe she was constantly watching over me someone's constantly taking care of me right I reached this location where I'm filming right now and my SD card was not in my camera left it on the computer but there was another SD card which I don't remember putting there but maybe at some point I put it there and uh it was in the climber case backup SD card there was a bunch of empty SD card cases which I was concerned maybe there is no SD card but there was and here we are recording filming this thing Hashem Is Watching Over Us at every single moment SD card the thing that he needs in that moment so person should rejoice in the good he should embrace embrace it but let's say there was no SD card in there what should I do for some for some reason sends evil send something negative says that there's a an obligation or really the correct approach in life generally is that when negative things occur I need to remember that Hashem always has my best interests in mind Hashem kill um a person's heart tells him the person's heart right it's interesting it's it's my heart that says it it's my intuition it says that Hashem is good Hashem is kind Hashem is my father Hashem is my king my father he loves me if something negative seems to be going on it's my perception that it's negative but ultimately it's for my good because it's because of the fact that God sees that I've gotten too involved in physical pleasures if I if I get too involved in physical Pleasures I'm going to lose my portion of the world to come okay angels of Mercy the things that seem to be difficult and challenging and and then judgment upon me those are actually angels of hashem's Mercy who want to save me so that I retain my place in the world to come I don't lose the great reward that Hashem has waiting for me will beer and it's explained again when a person gets Rich the person has a lot of of wealth a lot of Acquisitions so person can be worried right and these enemies will take it maybe his competitors will will make more money we'll take away his business whatever right it's very hard our savior's cells when a person has more um possessions so there's more worries foreign but this itself is a joy for the righteous individual Key Club is not worried that the physical possessions that he has will be taken away from him because if it does get taken away from him he knows that this is also for his good we have a general principle this is part of what be talking looks like I remind myself everything I have is good everything that happens to me is good everything that Hashem does called Hashem is referred to as the merciful one everything that Hashem does is for my good Ness saying that even though Hashem might give me everything that I need and that thing ends up in the hands of my enemies it ends up being that my enemies take my stuff foreign overflows my cups that only goodness will chase after me all the days of my life I view even the negative things that occur in my life even when it seems like my my my table has been stolen out from under me the good things in my life have been taken away from me by my enemies I also recognize that everything from Hashem is good everything is from Hashem and everything is good because through my trials through my challenges through my travails I know that I will Merit in eternal life I'm not just going to have this simple two-dimensional physical life that I am living through right now but I'm going to have a life that extends past this life an eternal life which is good why because Hashem took Caribbean made sure they didn't get too overly involved pulled into the foolishness and emptiness of this world thank you so much for listening see you again next time
