Bitachon 134 - Wars Are Won by Hashem

you're listening to the 134th edition of the B podcast I'd like to just read you one small thing that was actually still connected to the that we learned in the previous weeks and then we'll begin a new P the somebody who is seeking cover seeking protection seeking shade in the shade of a tree or the shade of a wall so that type of seeking shade won't help you forever because as the sun moves in the heavens so the shade is going to move as well so to a human being whose life passes like the shade like this kind of shade so if you trust in a human being the trust is not going to be something which will be long lived however I trusted in you says King David I will not be embarrassed forever but with your righteousness redeem me even though I don't deserve it says something amazing which I've heard froma we're going to see more in the note more about this but Hashem I don't deserve it I don't deserve to have a Salvation that will last forever I'm not good enough I wish I was but I'm not so Hashem just the fact that I trusted in you let that be enough to protect me forever what's the idea behind this so he brings here in the notein says the following idea in Hiser he quoted the name of in explaining the advantage or the great level of somebody who has this past week's this week's partial sorry in regards to load it says he says lo brought in these guests he thought they were guests but actually were angels and the people of sadom so they were against sharing with anybody their wealth if you don't have it you're not getting it I'm not sharing mine with you in fact it was illegal there if there were any guests Point into the place they would they would sodomize them but Lo said look I brought them into my place I brought them into my house I brought them into the shade of my walls the walls of my house so we beg them don't do anything to themi says the don't do anything to these people why because I I brought them into my home so what says that we see from here that when it comes to the way that human being thinks the way that a human being interacts with others behaves with others the normal human character is that that if someone comes into a person's home so there's a certain we could call it social contract if you come into my house I'm going to protect you I'm taking care of you that's the definition of what it means to come into my house so the person who is the owner of this house makes every effort to ensure the safety of all of those who come into his house for all of those who depend on him making me think of you know you get on a plane or you get on a ship so the so the captain of the ship feels a certain sense of AR a certain sense of responsibility for all of those on his ship he's the he's the Bal he's the one in charge have even someone who was like L who wasn't the greatest most righteous in individual at his core he was very distant from the character trait of kindness he learned something from ainu that's that's clear he certainly did but he went to live in s there's a reason he went there right nevertheless such a person who is not a paragon of kindness but if you come into his house he says I'm going to protect you and take care of you he went so far as to say to them look you can even have my daughters he was willing to give up his daughters in order to protect his guests obviously it's a very you know extreme kind of situation extreme kind of discussion but nevertheless that's what he said and he's going to take care of them and he's going to help them because they trusted in him right so lot not the biggest sadic not the most righteous individual not the Paragon of kindness nevertheless he takes care of the people who come and there's the uh social contract in if so says certainly somebody who trusts in hem the the owner of the heavens and the Earth certainly will not be embarrassed forever and ever I that's what he says and I want to add that who balab here in Israel the land of Israel who's the owner of the house who do we have an implicit or maybe explicit guarantee right if we're outside of the land of Israel I don't know that we have a guarantee at the same level as when we're in the land of Israel we have a guarantee as long as we're doing his will right the PK tells us if we don't do his will so then the land will spit us out but as long as we are doing hashem's will as as long as we're trying our best to fulfill God's will if we're in the land of Israel we have a promise that God will take care of us that God who's the balab it's a land that God's eyes are looking upon from the beginning of the year till the end of the year every moment of the year every day every second this land has a special a special promise he's the balab God is the guarantor of our safety it's not anybody else let's make no mistakes only the the human being can only guarantee s to a certain extent but only a can guarantee absolutely that's what we see here let's move on now to the next p which we are going to discuss here inim that were cated by incredible of yesterday year says in 31:7 I despise says King David I despise those who are sh literally it means those who keep or those who turn to foolish empty things meaning as we'll see they turn when they want to to have success when they want to feel they want to feel that they that they're safe to whom do they turn they turn to foolish things I look at those other people I despise those who turn away from hem and turn to other guarantees of their success or or safety but I says King David says I trust in Hashem exclusively says an interesting thing in the future the Garden of Eden the place of Divine Providence or I would say better Divine reward for those who have done good in this world that location the place itself is going to call out and it's going to say give me righteous individuals I'm not interested in Wicked individuals so in this m who is speaking who speaking and saying I hate those I despise those who are sh they keep I would say keep ways excuse me they keep ways of negativity or emptiness those are the wicked not interested in them says who does the Garden of Eden want to let into its confines into its environs those who trust in hem that's the end of the i g am only interested in those who trust in in and on the flip side the place of embarrassment the place of fire the place of cleansing of the soul from its draws and T its impurity gim is going to call out and say I'm not interested in a righteous individuals entering into my environs who do I want to come in here I want the wicked to come in here those who lived lives of emptiness those who live lives I would say even more more than emptiness lives of falsehood hasem says give G then give the Garden of Eden that which she requested which was the righteous individuals those who trusted in hasem give give the fiery place that which she requests which is the wicked didn't trust in a Place their trust on false hopes okay so it's important to understand when we have we are choosing eternal life we're choosing eternity we're choosing with the Garden of Eden what does it look like what do the sh what do these people look like what do they depend upon so the even asra says that there are those who and there's really such a thing today even it's called magic magic there are those who depend upon magical or or demons or uh dark Forces interesting King David says look there are those who they figure out when am I going to go out to war which day is the right day to go out to war to start a war to fight against my enemies and they use magical means where they look up at the stars or they have other kinds of means of figuring out what's the right day what's the what's the Y the day which is they're going to succeed King David says I don't look I don't look at anything else I don't look at anyone else I don't look at any other means I don't I don't think about I don't even perhaps take advice from the experts in the the field I have one Focus I have one way of knowing when it's the right time to go when I when I trust in a KES when I trust in hm completely that's when I can go when I sense inside myself that courage that complete faith says the a similar idea he says King David is saying I didn't trust in in those uh in those Sorcerers and those who are able to predict the future I only trust in hem and I'll and I'll say there are people who intuitively have a deep intuition and they might be able to understand what's going to happen or into it what's going to happen or maybe they have a certain level ofes or I don't know if it's a or if it's coming from the good side from the negative side but says I'm not interested in anything else only one thing trusting in hasem the May says I will place my soul in your hands he brings this even though all the nations of the world would determine and try to figure out what's the right time to go out when am I going to come back what's it going to look like all kinds of prognostications I won't do that I hate I despise those people who are trying to figure out exactly when things are going to be auspicious when I'm going to be able to return King David says in the that follow this one my times are in your hands I don't know when things are going to be I don't know I don't know by looking up at the stars I'm not I'm not interested in any prognostications I just trust in you why because you know All the Troubles so you know what's going on you know how difficult or how easy it will be for me to overcome my enemies you know how much challenges and how and how I'm surrounded but I'm Not Afraid says King David because I trust in you I know that you can save me you can help me and this is very deep this is what a mhia war looks like right when when we get to the stage hopefully soon the coming time in front of us who knows exactly when but when to get to the time of M it won't look like a war like we're used to it won't look like this kind of war that we're experiencing now it will look like an absolutely different War a war where is doing the war for us think of the war ofo when when they came into Jericho they walked around the city seven times the walls the wols fell down they were able to defeat their enemies that's that's a a spiritual war that's a war that's fought by Hashem King David says I'm not interested in all the other ways of Waging War only one way you yous we can say that the word hash which could which means to guard or keep can also mean to wait why what does it mean to why does the word which means to guard also mean to wait because a person who's a guard he has to constantly be looking at the the location that he's guarding is to constantly be involved with and watching out making sure that nothing happens to the thing that he's guarding so there's a a waiting there's a a f like a a focus a person is you know there's a certain suspense we find by y he had his dreams told the dreams to his brothers the father their father yob Jacob it says he was which could mean to keep he was guarding over the matter but M explained to me that he was waiting he was waiting for when it would happen so how does that apply to this verse King David is saying I despise those who look at the stars and try to figure out what's going to happen in the future these types of people they are looking at something which is empty something which is which is nullified there is such a thing as looking at the stars there is such a thing as having a prognostication of the future having a sense of what's going to happen in the future there is such a thing but King David says I'm not interested in that you know why because God rises above all of these things KES at any moment can decide that these have no power the the the way things were supposed to be as it were the way that things if you would read the Stars you could see what's going to happen but Hashem is above the stars and we also know the Jewish people are above the Stars when we do hashem's will when we are connected to God so we also rise above that which they seem to imply will occur it won't happen King David says I turn my eyes to God because God is the the root he is the engine running and deciding everything that happens Ina there's nothing that is driving him you want to know where you should look you want to know who has the ultimate Powers you want to know who who is the one that brings about every single reality every single every single occurrence in reality it's only Hashem D says why should I look anywhere else why should I look at the stars I could figure out the future maybe well why should I even look there hasem is above that the Stars don't tell a whole picture they don't tell a whole story because The KES can decide in a moment that whatever this it says in the Stars it will be different says when people are in in trouble when people are in pain it's normal it's natural to try to do everything that I can to get better to get out of the situation the negative situation I find myself in right King Saul he went to find out information what's going to happen in the future he was he was pressed against the wall he apologizes that he's doing something wrong and he's trying to find out from from a witch I believe that's what the context is cuz he he's he's stuck he's in trouble he's in pain and so we don't hold it against him sh was still considered righteous even though he did do a sin of going to going to a witch came with King David was different even when he was in trouble even when the situation was difficult not just difficult but it seemed lost all seemed lost he only trusted did not turn to any other means for salvation that's why he's saying over here I hate I despise The Magicians The Witches those who engage in in astrology I hate that not only don't I go there even though it could help me perhaps if I'm stuck like it happened to King soul I hated it I only go to who I only turn to hem thank you so much for listening see you again next time
