Bitachon 62 - Rewards of Bitachon

you're listening to the 60 second edition of the bitaken podcast and bizrat hashem the safer which i was missing now for three weeks has been found looked for it everywhere in my house and it was not in my house yesterday i got a phone call just in time to have run out of material to use because the safer that i had was just a small piece and that's safer yesterday i got a phone call somebody found my safer on the paths see these beautiful paths not this path but a different path and uh he had found it and he wasn't able to take it with him he had left it in a certain spot on a rock he told me where to get it and he said he obviously saw the title of the safer and he said you'll be talking helped you so it's important to know because i had this be talking three weeks ago that i was going to find the safer and i looked everywhere for it i did not find it but hashem was returned to me and will be able to continue and actually ask my son or mention to my son that it was found and he told me that he actually has another copy of this book which i didn't even realize so there's a backup copy that exists let's learn this together continuing in the rabino in sukkam and michelle this is apostol when a person trusts in his wealth he will fall but the righteous they will flower like a leaf trusting i guess we watch leaves as they grow on the trees on the trees they're green they have life they're attached to the source so indeed so then we're attached to true life but those who trust in their own wealth trust in their own actions and their own wisdom they are bound to fail you can also explain that a person what does it mean when it says in the verse that a person who trusts in his wealth he can fall ash when a person trusts in his own wealth he's doing something wrong right we have a mitzvah we have an obligation even if i'll be talking does not work we still have an obligation right i said i've been talking three weeks ago it seemed to not work right but it did come back with the message that it was because of maybe right so a person who has been talking to himself in his own wealth that's having me talking in something which is impermanent and which can't possibly control all the outcomes controls everything hashem is the source of life so the person who trusts in his own wealth he trusts in something physical in his own wisdom his own money which represents his wisdom so he receives a punishment hashem says give me alcohol you want to trust in that let's see how it goes for you and he loses his wealth says the word of hashem through his prophet which is that the person will lose his wealth the person who is talking in that position about someone who he watches over his money is not willing to spend it why because he wants to protect his money he wants to hold on to his assets he doesn't want to be dependent on anything or anybody so he's got that money he knows he can depend on himself right that person is going to lose his wealth in a bad way receive the verse says will a person place his eye upon it can you fleetingly look at look at the wealth it's not going to remain the key frackle but the converse the righteous we indeed place their trust in hashem in themselves so very interesting the very people who trust in hashem their yeshua comes their salvation from their difficulties from their oppression from their poverty it grows out of their difficulty very interesting language right says who helps us is this is the person i'm looking for um tells us that there can be difficult times for the people of israel for the for the sons of jacob that's us but from that difficulty comes the salvation the difficulty itself is what creates our salvation an opportunity for salvation when we trust boroku so the the rich person is trying to avoid any problems he's trying to say i'm not interested in anything which is unpleasant i'm not interested on pleasant situations and yet unpleasant situation this is what he's saying and this is what we see in absurd it actually provides an opportunity for salvation through the difficulty because we don't really deserve to have everything good just because i exist doesn't mean that a kurdish who has to give me anything right but through the difficulty there's a hat called right so it grows out like a like a um like a leaf a leaf grows out of the tree so when a person is attached to the tree so to speak which is akoshboroku which is the torah so then she will admire the forefront of perry right it it quickly grows out of the fruit and you can watch you can actually watch a leaf growing it takes a very small amount of time so the yeshua the salvation of kalispu can happen in a moment a rich person can suddenly and easily fall out of honor fall out of favor and other people's eyes but see what's kind of behind him because he is overly trusting in his own wealth but a righteous person can be saved very quickly and easily because he trusts so it's a very powerful idea where do we place our trust it's so important where do we place our trust righteous the the righteous person places trust in our code and says it's going to be good you know it's not right now even i don't see how it's going to be good and it and it does become good the wealthy person is the exact opposite he places his trust in his wealth he says i've got it all i'm good i'm good and it turns around for him muscular dura okay next that's that posture that's that posture so now we have another posture it's in michele ashraf person who is wise he will find good want to trust him praiseworthy is he he is joyous says what is the shot in this passage this verse that says is praiseworthy or he is joyful. when a person thinks when he is born he's muscular he's wise and he contemplates what is it that my soul wants to do what is it that i want to do if a person recognizes with his mind with his intellect this is this is the approach this is what we talking looks like i have a recognition i don't have the ability it's a true thing right to the extent that we attach ourselves to truth it's so much like god his stamp is truth right if we attach ourselves to the truth we're attaching ourselves to aku so what's the truth i don't have the power i cannot affect any result i cannot bring about anything he pulled over rather what is the truth the truth is that the way that hashem wants it to come out is how it can come out he won't place his mind on this matter when he's thinking about it what's he thinking about you know i'm thinking about something i want to succeed at i want to make a good song i want to learn well i want to understand things i want to understand the torah i want to read this safer and i want to be able to explain it to you so what is the person supposed to think other person think about how do you approach that because i i do have to take action i will be taking action i am working to provide for my family right but i could also want to provide so how am i supposed to think about this so he explains like this is when i think about something when i'm involved in action when i'm beginning to take action thinking about what actions need to be taken i need to think what is it that i need to do minimally or what is it that i need to do you know practically normally keep it right that's what a person needs to do you need to think about it but what is the thing the center of what a person needs to think about it the person needs to focus on is because the the faith that i have the assuredness the confidence that i have that is besides the fact that it helps and it works but it's a very high level it's an important goal to seek regards to this verse it says that we are to trust hashem with all of our heart we need to place we need to take all of our guts and put it into our hashem hashem's going to do this for me completely believing that so we need to think about that as we go into any action hashem's going to do this for me hashem help me with this action i'm taking hashem do this for me but we see from this passage which is moscow we're talking about masculine if you think about things you will find good with want to trust in hashem is praiseworthy is joyous and that's the verse we're discussing this teaches us that the thoughts that we need to have you want to find some good results right we need to be thinking about are we talking we need to think about the fact that it's a shamu does it for us this is teaching us that we to be talking that a person has that a person is obligated to have we think about our actions and we take action but in the moment that i'm taking action i need to kind of i don't want to say space out but i need to remove my intellect from the situation right the one who is wise what does he do he finds good when he does that which the mind agrees with that a person decides this is the thing i need to do if a person does not depend on his mind it doesn't depend on the action that he's taking you're taking the action that you need to take yes but at the same moment you're thinking a contradictory thought that even though i think that this is the right action to take in order to get a certain result i don't believe that this result is going to bring me what i seek i don't believe it and i'll tell you a story that happened to me last week who has directed me to be to work with a coach a person who's helping me with different parts of my life business whatever and we discuss certain actions to take to get more jobs et cetera that day i don't remember if i took any actions yet if i followed up on other things that they that was suggested to me but that day i got two job requests ones for a wedding in november and one was for a job two days later a uh simcoe safer torah what do you see very clearly what is a culture who's showing me what am i supposed to take out of that am i supposed to see i see that i'm supposed to take action i had to take serious action like he's saying he's not saying don't take serious action but he's saying remove your mind from it the actions that i'm going to take that just shows that i'm i'm not a lazy guy i'm not here to you know just open my hand and say you know drop it on me i'm not i'm not there is such a thing also it's a very very high level okay person needs to depend on only on a kurdish purchaser on his mercy that's what he needs to lean on even when his mind is giving him direction even if the mind tells you something he says you know if you're going to do this there's no way you're going to get to what you want you're not going to succeed if you take a particular action or maybe the mind is saying there's just no way to succeed period right because but in that moment where it feels like i'm not going to succeed or i don't have any way of succeeding with these actions that i'm taking in that moment a person cannot let his powerful faith in hashem his powerful confidence in akhole he can't let it let up for a moment usher so that person is going to be joyous and everything's going to be joyous whether or not he receives the results that he wishes and i would say that it seems that it's more likely that the person will receive the results that he wishes but even if he doesn't he knows that who is on his side he knows that hashem is with him you know i didn't find my safer it took me three weeks to find it i didn't i didn't even find it myself someone else found it for me just saw like a basketball came down from shamayim and said this is where your book is in the middle of a in the middle of uh you know beautiful arts israel but not exactly the closest place to my house so so that's how it is that's how it is that's who that's who's the joyous one who this is faith and hashem we'll begin the next section which is another possum another we'll bring in the next pasuk hashem vanessa the verse says a powerful tower is the name of god in it shall the righteous run beniskov and he will become prosperous viniskov so let's read what he says mig hashem the name of hashem is a powerful tower powerful fortress hashem what does it mean that if a person runs a person runs in the name of god therefore hashem is going to be a powerful castle protecting him what does this mean it means that when a person has a difficulty he's facing off with a difficult situation he remembers the name of hashem he mentions the name hashem he dies in front of hashem that's what it means he's running in god's name your it's it means that the righteous one runs he runs with it he runs with god's name he trusts in hashem in a mixture he's not afraid of the thing that seems to be a stumbling block for him the thing that seems to be staring in his way of success of him says also initially chapter 4 verse 12 if you shall run you will not fall as an analogy key cache automatically royce the person is running running on a path over here so if you look on the path so there's lots of there's trees blocking the pad there's rocks that you could trip over right if you're running and you're moving so if you're not you're not watching carefully where you're going you could fall especially if there's a stumbling block in the in the there's something blocking this wave ordinarily person is careful not to go in a certain way until he knows that there's nothing blocking him from going through there to make sure that there's nothing surrounding or any danger in that location but the righteous person so he his heart is firm his heart is trusting he like to una you love ra that nothing bad is going to happen if any kind of danger will come to him he will be saved from it what does it mean at the end of the puzzle when it says vinnie you'll be prosperous no you show me called sorry he is saved from all difficulties like we find elsewhere that the one who trusts in his process he's made prosperous he's saved he experiences expansion right the tsar the difficulty the word sarah comes from the word tsar which means constriction right you get out of constriction usual means everything is expensive okay says right after the difficulty hashem answers you and here you get expansion and it mentions king solomon mentions says that someone who trusts in hashem is considered righteous will be told to him because bhitakam is one of the highest levels when it comes to euro which we spoke about previously bitaken is a very high level this it's an awesome uh it's an awesome madriga it's an awesome goal to be striving for be talking how can we trust naked again besides the fact that when we trust in our code is working of course we have a better chance of getting that which we seek we have a better chance of getting saved salvation but besides that we become different people we fulfill that mitzvah that we're placing excuse me our faith in lakota those are the ideas for today thank you so much for listening see you again next time
