Bitachon 76 - Hashem Provides

you're listening to the 76th edition of the be talking podcast and we're going to continue curious from ghazal sources from our sages about the idea so last time we spoke about the power of tufilo the power of the tweet i kept thinking this week actually trying to employ the prayer of that kohen of that priest who asked the vashon that his children shouldn't come to any takala anya vera in such a powerful idea to be praying for our children preparing for ourselves that nothing bad should come about because of us we've heard stories about people who are involved having forbidden in an accident causing some kind of damage to another person nothing bad should come out because because of us we cannot be talking about that kind of thing we can pray about that kind of thing nothing bad should happen as a result of our children their interactions should be good you should be forced for good or for a positive force in the world that's what we saw last week and he continues here in ton of the bail you one more section it's very interesting this is what hashem said to the people of israel so it's talking to us does anyone have the ability really in this world to provide you with your needs with food with drink your basic necessities with a home all those who deny the torah the atheists who say all we need to do is work harder invest better they ain't circling about they're not going to help you for certain for the next world right is saying to us listen you want to know who can guarantee that you have all of your needs in this world you can guarantee that you'll have a portion of the world to come which really means an eternal closeness to our code of god because of the fact that we've worked on our relationship with him because of the fact that we've yearned to have a connection and our trust we've we've strengthened our trust and faith in him i'll attempt israel but you the children of israel i brought you to be next to me i brought you close to me because everything belongs to me this is hashem speaking to us it's amazing so beautiful i call masayoday everything is my creation everything you see belongs to me all the the trees the mountains the skies shine not only that i sit on my throne of glory hashem says which means what is the throne of god's glory what does it represent especially we're coming now into the mahaden we're coming now into the time when we are make god our king but what does that mean we all know that we don't know about the fact that there's a new king in britain what is the idea of a king what does it mean that hashem sits on his throne of glory not only did i create the world but i sit on my throne of glory the throne means that there's a king we have a king so the king his main job is not to make himself wealthy and grandiose but his main job is to care about his people he's he sits on his throne of glory it means that he is involved with and he's working on the needs of his people on the needs of his kingdom on the needs of his country that's why king sits on his throne when hashem sits on his throne it means that he's there yes we know it in judgment but besides that god is determining what are the needs of my people this year what are the what are their needs for paranosa for livelihood where their needs as far as their children what are their needs and that's what we're talking about so hashem says not only did i create the world not only is everything mine everything belongs to me but i also care about you and i also sit on my throne of glory which means that i care about your honor i care about you honoring me and i care about your needs providing you with your needs so what does he do on his throne of glory god as it were amazing thing it says at the third of the day god is reading and learning he's he's reading from from tanach as it were and he's learning the mishna he's learning the torah a third of the day god judges the world to see our people doing what's right what are the results of our actions guiding things as they should be guided right according to what we do if we do good we receive good if we do bad heaven forbid we don't receive good ish the last third of the day hashem says you know what i do i'm doing charity i'm involved in giving uh sustenance and livelihood to all of the creatures of the world right now shem is involved in making sure that the bugs have their food he's involved in making sure the birds have their bugs he's involved in making sure that the fish have what they need and of course the pinnacle of all creation is the human being and we are the most important and therefore hashem cares the most about us making sure that we have what we need it's called i take care of all of the people the human beings in the world and all of the creations in the world it's not like hashem is saying you know it's not like i just created everything and just let it roll of course there's nature of course there's a system that he made but he is he's involved in the details as apostate says it says in isaiah trust in hashem forever forever because with the name and hashem god fashioned the world it doesn't say he fashioned the world it says fashion the worlds it's plural right as we said before that hashem not only does he want us that our needs should be taken care of in this world but he also wants that there's another world there's a spiritual world there's a future world which is really here in this world when the when the world becomes sanctified we speak about shabbos is a day of pure of purity of sanctification today when we stop all of our mundane activity we get involved in tv prayer we eat in a holy way we sing songs to god we learn torah we focus on what's really important in our lives we're focused on our families that represents the way it's going to be in the world to come we're not going to have we're going to be finished with the sheikh samaya maison all of the work that we do we're not going to be involved in livelihood as the rambam writes why did the khazar why do they want the muslim why do they want the days of the messiah for the reason that we're going to rule over the world we're going to be leaders of the world that's not what it's about it's about because we're going to be able to sit and study the torah spiritual pursuits we're going to be able to sit and commune with god so that's what the future looks like but how do we get there i'm proud to actually talk about this in this week's parasha podcast but how do we get there it's because of the work that we do here in this world if we're working on our bitro basement for working on our faith in god in our be talking and hashem then we are zaika we merit that what whatever we've done in this world is who we are for eternity so if we are focused on that focused on our relationship with hashem and we're developing that relationship and i trust so then when we get to the world to come that will be waiting for us there as well we're the same person we don't change that's why i say if you trust in hashem's name honestly if you truly trust in hashem's name you'll never be embarrassed as apostate says it's a very important point that in the world to come there's a description which i actually just heard from russian shiva but i think about it often it says each person in the world to come can be burned by the group is a is a place where a person lives the the sanctuary of each individual each individual will have a sanctuary in the world to come a place where they will receive good hashem's divine light right hashem's divine light is overwhelming we need we need a chuppah it says the purpose of is to provide shade from the day to provide protection from the overwhelming sun god as it were is a powerful light and in order to receive that light we need to be a certain sense protected from it so each of us will have in the world to come a a a place a location and we will see others and their location and what they earned through their efforts in this world throughout their lifetime and each of us well we'll see this is how rash yeshiva said it we see another person will say why didn't i think of that way of serving hashem i had to have certain people who they're they have a certain focus some people their focus is doing kindness some people their focus is learning torah some people their focus is be talking some people their focus is giving charity but each one of us has a certain place and that place is determined by what we accomplish in this world but he says i might see another person's another person's accomplishments and who they are and what they became and what they earned so to speak insofar as being able to receive the light of hashem but lawyer vaishla's i won't be embarrassed forever i might be i might see something that i wish that i could have accomplished but i'm going to also see my own accomplishments but how do i make sure that i have those accomplishments we think of our challenges and our problems as something that we need to get through and we need to get to the other side of and we just wish that they would go away but they're an opportunity for us to develop in our relationship with hashem and if we have these challenges and we have these journeys they bring us to a place of a relationship with hashem which we have forever and we won't be embarrassed because we've developed that relationship with hashem so it's an incredible thing it's an incredible opportunity every time we have a problem we don't have to think of it as problems we have to think of them as opportunities also in psalms chapter 25 verses two and three my god i trusted in you let me not be embarrassed which in the push-up chat means please it's embarrassing when i when i ask hashem for help and he doesn't seem to provide the assistance that i request you but there's a double language here all of those who up to you will not be embarrassed it's it's true in this world as we said before there's an aspect of it and we see the results of it we see a taste of what it's like because we trusted on hashem we see the results of that trust we see that hashem helps us he provides us with our needs he provides us with the answers to our prayers but it's not just true in this world that's the point the gam there won't be an embarrassment in the world to come because we went through the difficulties we developed our relationship with hashem we saw hashem's advice so to speak we sought hashem's will we were looking for it what does hashem want for me in this circumstance what does hashem expect of me there is also a promise through the the prophets passage says in jeremiah chapter 17 verses 7 and 7 through 9 famous blessed is the person who trusts in hashem hashem will be the one he will be like a tree who is planted next to a lot of water right if you've ever been to a park there's a park here in ramaphe invite you to come and visit us here happy to show you around the hills around beach shemesh i'll be happy to show you the park and in this park it's called park yarmouth in the yarmouth park there's a there's a water there's a water source there's an underground water source there's water that flows through the park and you can see that right next to the area where the water flows flows more in the winter than in the summer but right next to that spot it's very lush there's a lot of grass in locations where there's a lot of water so there's a lot of life a person who trusts in hashem has planted himself next to the place where there's a water source hashem is the source of life and that person a person who has planted himself in that location he is somebody who everyone is going to come to because the leaves the product of that tree they're refreshing there's there's a shade you can sit there in the shade in a time where there isn't a lot where the produce of the year is scarce you won't be afraid of the yamashima says perry that tree will not stop from producing fruits that you will continue to produce fruits why because it's sitting on a water source it's sitting on an underground water source and that is what bitake looks like it's such a beautiful mushroom from year meow hashem is saying i promise you if you attach yourself to me you mean that fear you need not worry about all of your needs in this world even when things are tight when the whole world is going mad chaos lack but serious heaven forbid a lack of food a lack of livelihood you don't have to be afraid you're sitting on the water source so even though there might not be any rain but you're sitting on the water source you have everything you need and everyone will come to you for their needs ashraem at they trust in their father in heaven if they trust in hashem they are attached to the source of life god created the world with all manners of wisdom each of these represent a different idea wisdom intuition das is another aspect of the balance between wisdom and intuition raw knowledge and intuitive knowledge the name of that's why it says that's why it says they'll be like a tree which is planted upon the waters so this is the idea what does a person get when a person has trust in hashem what does a person accomplish with their trust they get an attachment to the source of life to the source of the water that they need the source of livelihood and they're not embarrassed in this world because their needs are fulfilled their trust is fulfilled and they're not embarrassed in the next world and i was thinking this is a connected topic i was thinking about the fact that you know what does it mean that i have all of my needs in this world it doesn't necessarily have to mean that i get everything i want and we've spoken about this in the past but it's always worth repeating you know i want a lot of stuff i want to be wealthy i don't want to think about money i want to be popular i want to be successful i want everyone to like me i want everyone to bow down to me and think i'm amazing right that's the the human being wants that i want all my needs to be met i want my you know i want to have food i want to have a place to live but sometimes it doesn't seem that way because i look around and i see that other people have more right that's the key other people have more than me and i and i'm no longer happy with what i have be talking means that i see what i have and i just appreciate what i have i i regard what i have as as what i need hashem you talking and we spoke about this in the past means that every single thing that i have is exactly what hashem wants from me right what hashem wants for me not just once from me once for me and this means that when i look around and i see something that's not mine that's not mine that's not what a shaman wants for me right be talking takes away if i have truly taken it takes away my jealousy it takes away my need for other things like the classic mushroom which i've said to you many times a child walks into the house and and he they're so happy they had a good day at school whatever they come in and they see another kid has a candy that that child got in in in ghan because they had a party that day or a birthday party and all of a sudden the child was so happy is upset and jealous because the other child has a candy they don't have a candy and that's how we are hey can i be happy with my accomplishments they're not as great as someone else's accomplishments you know my uh whatever it is there's so many things that we can talk about that each of us have a certain accomplishment and we compare to others and we don't feel like our accomplishments are as great as others but part of the talking is loyal i don't have to be embarrassed in this world i have to be embarrassed in the next world and i can be embarrassed inside of my own mind for my own desires and my own expectations and the promise is i don't have to be embarrassed because i can be so happy with what i have i can appreciate that hashem has given me exactly what i need exactly what i have so it's kind of this interplay this balance this ruts of a shove sometimes i need to be running and sometimes i need to be sitting ratsa means to run shove means to sit to return in this context i want to say sitting so i'm not going to be running and saying hashem this is what i need to provide me with my needs and sometimes i need to be sitting and saying hashem has already provided me with everything i need i don't need to i don't need to need more and that's the idea for today and i thank you so much for listening we'll see you again next time
