Bitachon 83 - Bitachon and Redemption

you're listening to the 83rd edition of the be talking podcast and we're out here in the hills of Yehuda of Judah nearby Shemesh you see behind me a an ancient wall of a building and you see the beautiful Hills with trees in the background and it reminds me you know we talk about Hashem as a rock because to you know there's nothing like rock to protect one from the elements to protect one from whatever he needs protection from Hashem is that protection you know I'd like to share with you the next two took him or phukem that is quoted here and you know we have a classic but it's preceded by another public that perhaps you've never heard of or explored so let's let's take a look the classic that we know is trust in Hashem forever for God fashioned the world with his name the 26th chapter of Isaiah verse 4 but the previous says and you know we're speaking about Hashem as the one who Fashions the world Surah aluminum he's the one who gives shape like a sayar is someone who draws someone who has the ability to paint so Hashem is like the master artist we speak about another aspect of Sir which means to Fashion or to form Yates and we also refer to you know the thoughts of a person can be referred to as it's a haradi etc the evil inclination the good inclination the thoughts of a person are also Yates the thoughts of a person's heart Yates so the same word the same Shores the same rule which is Tsar which means to to I would say manifest or create or to think about in this context the thoughts of someone who trusts some of means to depend tits or shalom so those thoughts fashion piece when a person depends on Hashem so those thoughts fashion piece those bring about peace who has peace the one who trusts on you Hashem and then the next question is because with this name Hashem created all of the Worlds so let's see the explanation of these two verses yet sir what does it mean yes sir as we said it's the the concept of the action of thought the effect the thoughts that have active power so to speak real thoughts that a person is planning something that's some sort of stuffing the maharikra explains that the thoughts of a person are those that thoughts that trust so yes that he was trusting in Hashem and depending on on Hashem with great power with great strength is I don't allow myself to move an inch because of Any fear or any difficulties that I'm that I'm encountering but it's possible to be in a place of bitachen faith and Hashem of confidence in Hashem that's so powerful that nothing can sway me titsor this type of thought causes Shia this itself brings about peace right all of we could think about it in different different levels the first level is that it brings about peace inside of myself right if I'm confident that someone's going to take care of me Hashem is going to help me he's going to save me so I have inner peace I think that's one aspect of it but the the faith the confidence a person has in Hashem also brings about external peace right so this is actually rashi rashi says that's why since I have inner peace since I trust in you that's why you should protect me right that's the end of the position the reason that peace should come about the reason that I should have inner Serenity or that I should have external Serenity is because of the fact that I trusted in you Hashem another explanation this is what the Maori cross says what is it when we speak about peace what peace are we looking for what's the real peace what's the ultimate peace it's the peace which is represented by galula by Redemption right because as long as the Jewish people are in Exile as long as the Jewish people have not all returned to the land of Israel so there's a certain lack of peace we're wandering we don't have that confidence what's going to be our enemy is going to heaven forbid cause us damage are they gonna hurt us in any way whether they be in hutzlars whether they be in the environs of Israel we don't have that peace But ultimately if my thoughts are on peace of my thoughts are on depending on Hashem that creates peace that's what creates peace and it's trusting Hashem that brings about the leaving goals so I think about it what are the reasons why a person is not willing let's say to move to Arts Israel and I know I've spoken about this and I'll continue to speak about this why does a person not want to go because all kinds of calculations I don't know it's going to be what's going to be my kids it's going to be with my partner with my livelihood it's gonna be with me what's gonna meet with a family who I'm leaving behind Etc right but means that my thoughts what's the foundation of my thoughts the foundation of my thoughts the foundation is Hashem is taking care of me I'm depended on Hashem if I'm depend on Hashem it doesn't really matter where I am I could be in America I could be in Europe I could be in Earth Israel could be in Australia Japan South Africa or it can be anywhere but if my dependence is on Hashem then that takes me out of goals it takes away all the excuses when it comes to returning to Etc on the next possibility so we come out of this concept of the thoughts of a person the the creative thoughts of a person focused on depending on Hashem create peace right trust and the next person says trust the nation forever because Hashem is the one who created all of the world right it's hashem's creative power it's hashem's creative thoughts as it were that brought the world into existence so if I am using my creative thoughts focusing them on God and on my dependence and Reliance upon him so then I'm assured that everything's going to go well let's see the explanation here it says foreign once I have this kind of thought once I had this ability to have confidence and be talking in Hashem so I'm gonna encourage others and those who have those who have be talking they encourage each other and they say forever because God is the power all the strength in this world and in the next World it all comes from him everything comes from God so that's upon whom that's who it is appropriate to rely upon him next explanation based on the Melbourne so the response is interesting so the moment has a different understanding of what the previous person was talking about he understands that people are looking for peace they're they're depending on thoughts of Peace on on trying to create peace and trying to depend on themselves but the response to those who think that way that it's going to come about their peace the peace is going to come out from thoughts of peace and through peace treaties Etc don't depend on peace you could have peace but peace is not necessarily permanent it might be a treaty it might be a an agreement but it could be fleeting Hashem only trusts in Hashem because by doing so so you will be talking will last forever Billy hatsik okay so to be talking in Hashem is a different quality of Italian than the type of be talking according to the malbim which was referred to in the previous in the previous verse trusting and peace keep your car returning them or what does this mean for Hashem created the worlds with this name Car returns tonight because the thing that a person trusts in needs to have two conditions the ability to fulfill the request of the one who trusts in him hasmodo you need to have that continuous abilities first of all he has the ability constantly to fulfill the needs of that person who's asking and second of all he has the rights and the desire to do so because without these so we can't have a proper an absolutely absolute confidence that the person who I'm having been talking in I'm trusting is going to provide my needs foreign these two conditions can only be met by God himself why keep the car Hashem because what does it mean he explains the music means that God is always there he's constantly giving reality to our existence right his but but more specifically his existence is forever he's always there he's always available and these shows he's the one secondly who Fashions the world who fashioned the world he is the strength of all the worlds all reality depends upon him it's through Hashem that all of reality gets its strength and its continued existence foreign and therefore his power rules over everything so don't trust in all the things that it seems on the surface are going to guarantee anything nothing can guarantee anything the only one who has the ability to guarantee eternally is hashar himself he's always there and he's always giving strength to reality is constantly able to to do so in other words what we see right because the question was who can you trust you can trust someone who's always there and it was always has the red zone the Red Zone the desire right from the fact that Hashem is constantly bringing reality into existence from the fact that we experience continuous reality this proves that Hashem is a ratson he has a desire indeed to give us reality why because everything that we see is coming from him so we know that we can depend on him because he's always there and he's always available okay one more puzzle also in ishaya it says like this who amongst you fears Hashem who listens to the voice of his servant when in the dark without light such a person can trust in the name of Hashem depend upon his God okay so we have here three different concepts one is from the radak first one's from another duck what does it mean that the person who's called the Ray Hashem who fears God who fears Heaven somebody who listens to the voice of his servant the calling a VM it's a reference to listening to the voice of His prophets most sharabane and Moses the five books of Moses all that all the terror that we have which came down Through the Ages originally from Moshe their exhortation of the Jewish people to do what's right foreign even if a challenge comes upon a person right if we are trying our best right if we are trying our best of course as we said a person can be Buddha Hashem even if he's Russia but ideally ideally we should be trying our best to do hashem's will if we're listening to hashem's Will so even if a challenge comes to us we can trust in Hashem Hashem will save us and I'm sorry that was not the red dog that was Rashi here's the redak mibochem supposing said who amongst you fear Hashem I see Hashem Ishmael even though Isaiah the prophet said that there were people amongst the Jewish people who said that Isaiah was not you know not the best saying that he was evil but someone who is Hashem of truly fears God she'll listen to me foreign so even though you haven't listened to me until now there's still a chance to listen to me we can always turn away from the negative past that we've taken you can take a positive path you can turn back towards Hashem much is probably the understanding of attack Hashem even someone who's evil and goes and trusts Hashem meaning he turns away from his evil path we could say that that's the explanation of it right if we turn away from the evil path so then it's going to be good if we're going to have confidence in Hashem Hashem okay next shot from the Mahari Crow right this is the opportunity for repentance she is that the people of Israel say to the nations of the world who amongst you fears God listens to the voice of his servants the prophets and who amongst you that has gone in the darkness meaning the Jewish people was gone in the darkness of Exile they know your lawyer and doesn't see the light bulana should give a lot of dingolas who else speaking to the nation of the world who is like us the Jewish people in a certain sense are saying to the nations of the world who received the punishment you know we've been in Godless for two thousand years we're precisely 1953 years we've been in exile for a long time why were we sent there because of our sins because of our virus but what did we do with that did we say Hashem it's unjust to be Did We complain about it no we accept it upon ourselves that this is the will of Hashem is so we have gone through the challenges of the of the nations of the world who have mistreated us for thousands of years conversions holocausts but drums inquisitions we've gone through the darkness but we've continued to hold on to our faith in Hashem and we depend upon Hashem so Hashem is going to bring us out of this Darkness out of this ghost out of this Exile so this is a statement it's a it's a mission statement of the Jewish people to a certain extent who amongst you can claim of the nations of the world that you fear Hashem listen to and you listen to the voice of his servants has gone who else amongst you has gone through the darkness without the light but still continue to trust in Hashem so it's incredible statement of the Jewish people's resilience and power what's our power and power is and our trust of Hashem finally this last Point here is the shine Bailey Cove is the malmim the MS trusting Hashem truthfully so this is the last point you have the moment that through to be talking that I trust that I have confidence so I can find that Hashem I can rely upon Hashem Hashem responds in kind when I trust in Hashem becomes someone upon whom I can trust which improves indeed that I can trust him so it's a very interesting thing according to this album that we know this part we know this idea will be his Trust we find when it comes to Sudoku we're allowed to test Hashem as it were right and promises that if we trust in him he's going to give us he gives a guarantee that he's going to give us ultimate incredible blessings ultimately so when it comes to be talking it's the same concept s you can know that you can trust in Hashem and you have upon whom to rely you know you can know that you indeed some will come through so it's an incredible thing here we have a theme here I think it's the theme of all three of these ideas these three which is that we can depend upon Hashem to take us out of our national and personal challenges the situations that we come across if we find ourselves in these situations we need of course frustration for myself to think about what we've done wrong turn away from the things that we've done wrong focus on what we can do positively and then focus our efforts faith and confidence Hashem will indeed bring us out of the situations that we find ourselves okay that's what we have for today thank you so much for listening see you again next time
