Bitachon 85 - Hashem's Kindness is Forever

you're listening to the 85th edition of the Beethoven podcast and just a nice thing right now you've seen if you watch these I'll be talking podcast so you've seen how you've come to many different locations pretty much always in the Hills not every time but in the hills around bayshamesh and right now I'm in a location which is not in the direction that I usually go but it's also nearby shamesh it's off the 38 and I haven't been here in about probably about two years I was here to film a video called ahalula the words of which are all from the suck him in in which talked about you're talking about Hashem perhaps we'll get to them in this section but it's especially touching to come to a place where created a video which has been seen over 400 000 times and it's had an impact on people and it's an inspired people so it reminds us when we look back on the places that we've had success we look at the moments and the this for me the songs that people have related to so that helps as we talking because when we look back we can always see because helped us and we can be assured that he's helping us and he's going to help us so just thought I'd mention that as we begin let's see some sooking from King David tells us into Helen in some so many different sookim so many beautiful verses which speak about his be talking his faith in Hashem we have some famous some less famous but here are a few that are quite famous plus you get to him chapter 9 verse 11. those who know your name will trust in you because you have not forsaken those who seek you the gift is those who know your name today amongst the people of Israel they should it makes sense that they should trust in you sister attack they saw that you have not forsaken those who trust in you those who seek you those who seek God they find him those who are looking for Hashem in their lives looking to see Hashem to discern hashem's hand in their lives so they indeed find him and therefore they know that they can trust him you were with them in the times of difficulty and therefore they knew and we know that we can trust Hashem we can look back at the past as we said we can see Hashem is with us we can continue to believe that he'll be with us those who know your name they will trust in you Hashem does not let us go even for a moment there's not a moment that Hashem does takes away his Divine Providence from us they are always being provided with Divine Providence at all times so ultimately they won't even have any difficult situations the more a person strengthens their be talking the more who shows up in their lives the more we think about we talking the more we start to notice that oh Hashem did that for me oh Hashem is doing this for me we see it more but not just we see it more but it becomes strengthened in our lives through our recognition of it here's another famous today are going to be from King David foreign I trusted in your kindness my heart will rejoice in your salvation I will sing to Hashem for all that he has done for me so first we had the radar my enemies think that there's no one who will save me they think that they will succeed in causing me damage but I trust in your kindness you will save me I'll be sharing any Royal sister I trusted in your kindness here I trust that even though I don't deserve it how can a person that be talking we don't really deserve it why should Hashem help us how is our relationship with him is it so perfect is it ideal are we serving Hashem properly King David says King David greatest perhaps one of the greatest of all people King David king of Israel last night nothing of his own he was just reflecting God's light and yet he said I don't know if I deserve it but I trust because of your kindness even though I don't deserve it that's our dog even Ezra says similar idea I don't have any kindness that I've done that I believe that I can Merit to your kindness but I trust in your kindness because of this be talking that I have because of the stress that I have in you this faith I have in you this confidence I have in you my heart will rejoice finally let me see the stuff it says it was always true says what King David is saying it is always true whenever I trusted in your kindness my heart was joyous in Salvation that came from you there's a recognition and a repeated recognition that Hashem is kind Hashem loves us he cares about us we can trust in him we will see his salvation he will come to us because of our trust or I would say it will be more obvious to us because we looked for it now here comes the puzzle which is a little bit less famous a little bit less well-known but it's very interesting position foreign the king says King David says the king trust in Hashem and he trusts in the kindness the the exalted kindness of God which never falters which never fails I find this very interesting because you know think about it a king he has all the power he has a power of life and death over people everyone has to listen to him he has all of the wealth he has all of The Prestige what does he need to depend on anyone but himself for but says it's not true don't think that the king the King has a faith in whom does he place his faith upon whom does he place his faith he places it in Hashem says where is the King's Joy right a person who has it all where is his real Joy where does that person experience true happiness in life it doesn't come from all the things that he has it doesn't come from all of his wealth it doesn't come from all the people who give him who do his his bidding it only comes from hezbetah and his joy in Hashem and now with the the vast amounts of wealth or the vast amounts of people that are beholden to him you should be talking why does the king trust in Hashem because the king knows even though he's above everybody else he knows that there's someone who's greater than him himself got himself as it were foreign he desires whether a lot or little whether it's a tremendous salvation or a small salvation actually might that's why he's assured he's confident that he won't falter all right so volume might is going on that's not clear to me if it's going on the fact that I couldn't support whose kindness does not falter doesn't uh you know is not uh is unwavering or the person himself is unwavering but I think it's also uh you know a king upon whom can you rely if let's say the king knows that he doesn't he doesn't feel confident for whatever reason maybe his armies generals aren't smart enough maybe another king is threatening to take over his kingdom the king is the highest person that we can think of if we think honestly about what a king is the most power he has the most so if he's not confident who can he be confident is telling us has all of the Power all of the time album s like the posix says the king trusts in Hashem why because Apostle says your word will be true foreign and he trusts in the exalted kindness of God because this kindness the moment learns that it's talking about the kindness doesn't doesn't fault it doesn't is unwavering hashem's kindness God is God is kind that's just God is kind God is perfectly kind God's kindness never never stops God always wants to be kind that is his chief motivation so to speak his chief motivation for creating the world was kindness so can a person depend on hashem's kindness yes even now yes even in this situation yes there's no such thing as a situation when where a person can't depend on hashem's kindness because his kindness is unwavering because that's the essence of who God is God is kind God is good okay now here's took him one after another in this in in Psalms chapter 22 verses 5 and 6. foreign King David says a double language our forefathers trusted in you they trusted and you saved them they called out to you and they were saved they trusted in you they were not embarrassed so those are the two second let's see Alan before she explained his beautiful doc in Venezuela um how many times have our forefathers the Patriarchs or four Bears our Bubbies in our zadies are out above these are altaze going back 100 years a thousand years 2000 years three thousand years how many times did they trust you and you save them from their oppression their trust wasn't for naught the coffee why is King David in this verse double the language and say again they trusted in you they trusted in you foreign ize that there was an exclusive confidence in whom or upon whom did they Place their trust only in Russia you're going to place their trust in anybody else in their strength and their own wisdom nothing only that's where they Place their strength that's where they Place their confidence they'll be talking foreign talks about he says when they didn't have a problem they trusted in you that's why there's a double language here they trusted in you and they also trusted when they had a problem and they were saved visit which is a very important lesson right how do I know I'm going to be talking in the moment of in the Moment of Truth when push comes to shovel my back is against the wall so in some ways it's easier to be talking but if I've never thought about it if I've never contemplated it if I haven't worked on it it's much harder to have be tougher than Hashem in that moment of difficulty says the ibane Ezra government is saying who they trusted in you even in regular situations they trusted I can't find my shoes I'm sure I might be talking I'm gonna find my shoes simple thing I need a parking spot should I be talking I'm gonna find a parking spot then when it comes to the difficult situation whatever it may be you can have a different there's a different kind of be talking when you get to that challenging situation but once once we have exercised the be talking muscle we can use it in any situation and we can find our salvation finally the Melbourne is possible and with this they they had two advantages they they got two benefits and this is something which is also the the altar of the verdict points out at the very beginning of the shabby talking which we learned together that there are two advantages of the babita number one is that he becomes somebody who is calm Here Comes somebody who is calm I can walk into a situation knowing that Hashem has my back I have to get my kid into a school I can make that phone call I can I can do it why Hashem is Hashem is with me Hashem is protecting me Hashem what's the best for me and my children so calm what's a fortamo the second Advantage is and this is why the public says it twice because the second Advantage is Hashem saves me Hashem takes care of me she gets me to that place that I need to be gets me to that situation of salvation now we come to the other person they called out to you Hashem and they were saved they were taken out of their difficult situation they trusted in you and they weren't embarrassed what is this concept again they trusted only in you they didn't trust in anybody else they didn't call out to anybody else they didn't depend on anybody else that's why they weren't embarrassed right right when I trust in somebody and a human being it's embarrassing can't do it myself someone's to do me a favor to help me out it's very nice it's beautiful but I'm insufficient I'm not I'm not man enough to do it myself it doesn't feel good it feels bad when Hashem is the one we trust in completely we don't have to ever be embarrassed it's like I don't it's not an embarrassment for me not to be self-sufficient in in the face of God some can do anything some can give me anything it's not a place for me to be embarrassed I just actually read a story it was recently the the yard side of the khazanish my daughter came home my eight-year-old daughter came home she needed a story and we have a book of stories pulled out the book we found a story the story was that a guy came in to the khazanish to ask him some kind of question I don't know exactly what why he came there his shoes were falling apart says to him what if why is it why are your shoes torn why are you walking around in shoes like that and the man said I'm very poor I just can't afford to buy new shoes hasn't he says to him did you ask Hashem to help you the man's like I'm embarrassed to ask God for this it's not I'm not going to bother Hashem with Shu asking him for shoes you don't know what what Hashem is like a father who's rich if your father was very very rich would you be embarrassed to ask him for shoes he's got it all because they spoke who was your father he loves you he's got it all I don't have to be embarrassed that's the ultimate that's the ultimate sense of confidence and lack of embarrassment is asking Hashem trusting in Hashem and knowing that we're going to get what we need from him last the last shot we're gonna have for today Halo me talking so he said that there are two advantages the modern said that there are two advantages when a person has to be talking trust in Hashem and he explains them here in this possible King David to the purpose that they were able to attain through their be talking to right they they call it Hashem and Hashem saved them this is much greater this is a much greater accomplishment than trusting a human being human being doesn't necessarily save a person every time but our forefathers our Bubbies and our Sadies they were saved every time they called out our great-grandparents sorry main Rifka foreign the human being is not always close to the one who trusts on him right if I trust in my parents or I trust in a king or I trust in a rich person that person may or may not be available for me when I need when I need them but you were always there because Always by our side he's always next to us the mom says it it's not a modern song this is the moment talking in King David's words two thousand three thousand year old song powerful song that Echoes through the generations you're always there next to them to hear their call to answer their to answer their their cry and second mindless there is an intrinsic advantage to having me talking what is that advantage because by trusting in Hashem we become people who are not embarrassed a human being when I trust in a human being so it's embarrassing yeah I have to lower myself to another human being like me and this final point is really beautiful from the from the moment when I trust in Hashem it's an honor says it's a famous thing the altar of novartic right base base next to his name like people write PhD next to their name he would write base next to his name babita what what a title to be somebody you trusts and Hashem what an honor to be a person a human being who is exalted who's able to say I place my trust in Hashem I believe that Hashem is going to send me to the place that I need to be someone's going to give me the paranasa I need Hashem is going to give my child the wherewithal the schools the teachers to accomplish and to be successful in life what an honor it is to be able to say that to be able to think that to be able to work on that so let's go into this week continue working on every
