Bitachon 156 - Israel's Victory Is In The End

you're listening to the 156th edition of the B podcast we continue where we left off we're in chapter 37:7 be quiet unto and have hope to him don't try to compete don't look at those who are succeeding or it seems like they're succeeding with elicit means they're doing things wrong and they're succeeding don't try to compete with them just be quiet unto hasem so I'll start with thefor here with the last thing that we said last week turn to make yourself quiet unto Hashem meaning don't think that you know what to do don't think that you know how to do it don't plan don't conspire and if you do so if you leave it to so then your enemies will fall down dead says get up early in the morning and stay late in the evening in the b in the place where you study Torah in the place where we serve and we try to understand the way to serve Hashem call and your enemies will disappear on their own they'll be as if they never were we dra says the brings says I trust in this it's earlier in in Psalms 27:3 it says I trust in this what is this the King David trusts in in the T in my study of Torah my relationship with hem and based on this the PK says if will be a great encampment that comes against me that battles with me I won't be afraid PR listen to this contrary to what many politicians might say in this country the fruit of learning Torah of study of Torah of having a relationship with hem is that our enemies disappear they're destroyed that's why our sages said be quiet unto hem and like we said be quiet unto and he will cause your enemies to fall down dead get up early and stay late to the B stay there late and your enemies will will fall on their own they will end they will be finished so that's why I trust in this what does it mean I trust in this I trust in the I trust in my relationship with you I trust that if I'm constantly working to strengthen my relationship with you my enemies will fall and that can be literally true here in our Cel land of Israel and that can also be true on an individual level that when we focus our efforts on our spiritual matters it's a little counterintuitive because we think that's the p is saying don't don't compete with those people who are out there there seems to be successful Etc when you have spiritual success you have much deeper physical success success in the Physical Realm brings now we have a different idea which we could say is related but it's certainly related to and that is like this be quiet to AEM and hope to what does it mean as we saw in last week's para his two sons die and he is he accepts God's judgment he doesn't understand he doesn't speak up doesn't speak out he's just quiet it even if even if a person sees that they're going to die or they're going to die uh for God's name person needs to accept it person needs to accept it as rights says even if I will be killed I will still even if I'm aware that I'm about to die I will still hope to Hashem so means even if I know I'm going to heaven forbid it's another understanding even if I know that I'm going to lose my life have forbid I'm still going to look to Hashem going to still trust in Hashem I'm going to know that whatever hem wants for me even if it's like we say every single day in sh our sors tell us you're supposed to love with all of your heart and all of your soul even ifm takes away a person's soul having forbid still turn to Hashem go back to Hashem back to our relationship with hasem under every circumstance he brings here from the he says something even deeper he says he says that when a person it doesn't just mean if something bad is happening I'm still going to ow to hem still going to have a relationship with hm it means here he explains person should dance person should dance it's a very hard idea very difficult idea but there is such a thing that a person is it's not something that maybe I I don't want to say that we shouldn't aspire to it because it's a very high level and of course we should aspire to the highest of high levels but maybe we don't think that we could aspire to it to be to rejoice in difficulties but we need to know that such a level exists the story with reading the that heated the the story it's in The Chronicles of Jerusalem found out he heard that his daughter died and he jumped up and was simp said the blessed is the true judge because the the our sages say that just like a person just like the same way that a person blesses for something good that happens person should bless hasem for something bad that happens and is able to jump up with seeming joy and I don't think that it takes so I'm sure that he cried I'm sure that he cried by the funeral but I'm saying the BR that he made was a full acceptance of hashem's will okay again these are levels that are hard for us to understand he brings here on the bottom in the note it's it's worth mentioning that which the styler says he wrote to a particular individual who had a very difficult time was in the middle of a difficult time the styler wrote him what you should do is you should make sure not to be worried anymore throw your package onto hem throw your difficulties onto hem and your wife shouldn't be have too much shouldn't allow herself to get too depressed they here's something that maybe we can relate to when a person not only accepts but rejoices and understands that everything hasm does this for is good so that very approach that very thought that very way of thinking about and and approaching the difficulty serves to get a person out of other difficulties and about such a person the PK says that those who love Hashem or those who Hashem loves will come out into the light they're like the the the sun coming out in all of its strength a person has that spiritual strength understand there's which is we get what we want but there's also which is that we recognize that whatever is is from Hashem so strengthening that inside of ourselves is a tremendous CL for us it's a tremendous Merit okay now he brings from the iits brings says serve honor hem from your treasure and my muser when Hashem says as it were the the muser that I give you the difficulties that I put you through in your life don't be disgusted by them King Solomon says it 3 ver9 I promise you that if you want honor from your wealth if you honor if you honor hem you're going to be wealthy hm is going to fill up your storehouses with good with satisfaction with things that satisfy you but let's say it's not that way let's say you honored theem and what happens after that having forbid a person has an experience of loss is his storehouses are emptied he lose his money in the stock market Millions don't be upset at me don't be upset atem don't when when you experience a challenge in your life a difficulty in your life don't let it knock you down but don't don't reject it we find the tells us that the one who hasem loves he gives mus to he provides them with an opportunity to change by showing them that what they're doing is wrong by giving them a difficulty by giving them a PCH but hasm wants our good don't think that Hashem number one can't provide for you don't think that Hashem is is a mean Angry God having forbid does kindness Hashem does free kindnesses even though we don't deserve it hhm does kindness for us in every generation so if I deserve that it should be good in my life if I deserve if I'm done right in my life sh will not hold back the good for me so in other words my my intellect needs to help me understand that if things are going in a negative Direction in my life it seems that way but I'm doing what's right I'm TR I'm honoring AEM trusting Hashem just just wait just wait this is say King David the father of King Solomon said be quiet unto if let's say the it doesn't seem to be true it doesn't the P before that we learned together in last week's and the week before his podcast seems to say that you're going to see I'm going to do if you're going to do what's right it's going to work out for you trust is going to work out for you hm will prove your right but let's say he doesn't let's say it doesn't work out for you the next that's our says just just be quiet don't get upset be quiet and receive the difficulties and the challenges with love receive the difficulties and the challenges like a like a woman who's giving birth she knows in the birth in the difficulty in the pain that this birth is this pain that she's going through is going to bring a child is that and that's what it means in the end of the puzzle when it says don't become jealous of or try to compete with those who are successful kmer you call in other words nevertheless whether you succeed or it seems that you're succeeding in your life right now whether you have what I said to you that everything's going to work out for you or whether it's not seeming to work out for you still be quiet and and do what I tell you which is don't compete with those who are doing wrong because oh listen to this this is so important you see someone else succeeding someone who's done wrong someone who's a russer he's succeeding the the the enemy has succeeded in causing us terrible things don't get upset how could God do this how could God allow our enemies to succeed how could he allow there to be success for those who are wrong CU if you allow that thought or that ex expression we have to to to have thoughts where we're human but if we allow that to be what we leave the result is that by making these kinds of statements believing these kinds of thoughts negative thoughts so you show that you don't appreciate God's Transcendent good and in so thinking and in So speaking a person reveals his lack of faith in hasem and he ends off with an amazing statement he says here something which we mentioned in the previous podcast he says that those who were sadim the righteous the righteous people they would see the success of the hey why is it that the nations of the world are succeeding why is the Jewish people not seeming to succeed why is it that our enemies are succeeding sikim would look at that and they would sayem for their success hem is giving them perhaps I'm adding in my own understanding here hasem is giving them success he's giving them their due reward in this world so that he can give them a full downfall in the right time but if Hashem gives reward to those who are evil for the small amount of good that they've done that sik understand that certainly that's the end of the statement here is going to be good that's hidden away that's waiting for us and in the future we're guaranteed we don't have to be worried we're not going to end up getting what we deserve we're not the Jewish people we've stayed faithful to Hashem for for 3,300 years we've been through gulus we've been through Exiles we've been through inquisitions we've been through holocausts and we're still here we're still studying the Torah we're still we haven't forgotten about what happened on Mount Sonic 3,300 years ago we're still reporting it to the world we're still reminding ourselves we're still speaking about the we're still reading the words of King David I don't to be worried if Hashem rewards those who do a small amount of good even though they're Wicked certainly Hashem is going to reward we give us reward give us reward us we who do what's right we continue to be we continue to honor hem whether we have our Storehouse is full or whether our storehouses are less than full whether our enemies are succeeding or whether we are succeeding over our enemies we remind ourselves we remind ourselves we remind ourselves it's AEM it's hem it's hem we are we reinforce our confidence that God does what's best there's a transcending understanding there's a Transcendent good that God wants to bring to the world we don't understand that at every moment and it seems challenged at many moments but we are waiting we're staying we're going to stay the course we're going to wait for the for the ultimate moment when all the good will be revealed and we will see that that reward is waiting it's it's it's waiting and it's hidden and it's we're going to see it it's going to be soon thank you so much for listening we'll see you again next time
