Bitachon 89 - Bitachon Merits Salvation

you're listening to the 89th edition of the Beethoven podcast and before we start reading inside I just wanted to share with you that got a big physic and a real big encouragement a great encouragement from one of the listeners of this you're talking podcast who contacted me and told me how he was inspired by this podcast what was he inspired by it's an important point and it's perhaps you could say the hiddish or the difference between the approach of the altar in the varlik and some others the mob also clearly holds as we've seen as we'll continue to see like the altar of novartic that the physique is that many times many places it's taught that when it comes to be talking so we have to do our history and we'll do the maximum studlis in order to see the results that we want and of course we have to remember that it's working who's doing it but that is not the sheet of the alternative Artic in fact I don't even know if that's the mainstream shita in vitahan even doesn't say maximum be talking as far as I know but the physic was that after trying so hard after trying so hard to take care of things for his family they're trying so hard he suddenly realized we've been studying together which is a hard thing to internalize and recognize but it's true that it's not our be talking it's not I'm sorry it's not our history it is it's not Aristotle it is that affords us the opportunities that we need and affords us the parnassa that we need the wherewithal that we need everything is dependent on are we talking we have to put our statuses out there if nobody says put all of my status in to be talking I put all my style is all my efforts into my confidence in faith in Hashem and I'm assured I'm assured of success and it's not about trying harder it's not about trying better it's not about making another phone call it's about focusing our trust in Hashem now let's learn some more obsookum together and to heal him pasta gets a famous Posse which we say in the in the seam when we complete a massacre complete attracted of the talmudame um a new Hashem King David was saying to God please let those who are my enemies those who are the enemies of Truth those who are do not trust in you Hashem those who trust in their own power bring them down to utter destruction those who are killers those who are deceitful let them not reach their midlife let them not even have a life which is to half of what they would expect their days to be but I will trust in you now what does it mean s the redoxes it means that I should be saved from you I'm sorry I should be saved from them from their hands I trust in you that I will be saved from them foreign particular uh people who are the enemies of David that's the radak Ian so there's two possibilities as to what he's trusting either as the redox is though it is trusting that everything should be okay with him that my enemies will not overcome me but they're not but there's another possible way of looking at it really two more possible ways foreign interesting thing David is asking we have to think about this why this would why would we think this but David is asking that his days be complete that he have a full life I trust in you Hashanah you will give me a full life in contrast to what I'm asking about them I'm asking they should give them a half-life let them not even get to a half of a regular life I am your servant as you promised a new Terror he brings here there's a positive which says that God promises Hashem promises that he will fill out the days of the righteous those who are proper Servants of God they will have a full life so David Amel is saying I'm asking you they should have a half-life but I want a full life which is interesting why would it be that he needs to say I trust him and have a full life when he prays that they should have a half-life and I would say perhaps you could say that even when a person is praying for the downfall of his enemies because he wants to save himself still when I pray for something it brings that force it brings that spiritual Force Through Me right because I'll tell us our say just say that when a person prays for somebody else to have success right let's say a person has a show on heaven forbid doesn't have children so gazelle tell us if you pray for somebody else you'll be answered first call them if that couple that doesn't have children pray for some a different couple someone else who doesn't have children Hashem promises they're going to be answered because I'll say they're going to be answered first if that person needs that thing it's very interesting but the idea is it's a powerful idea the idea is when I pray for something I bring that thing through me that spiritual blessing let us say comes into the world through me so when King David is praying that his his friends he's not friends he's praying that his enemies should die they should be destroyed in half their life so that spiritual is coming through and he needs to have the same time he's praying for their downfall he needs to have be talking that he should have a full life the other possibility is that what does he have to be talking about what is expressing his confidence in Hashem about his expressing confidence that this prayer he's praying that those who want to destroy him should be destroyed themselves and not live out their life that this prayer will be answered and indeed his enemies will experience or shorten life so either way either way King David is showing us he is teaching us that the way is that when someone does something wrong when someone is evil when someone is not aligned spiritually with Hashem the result is destruction and when I even speak about that misalignment I have to be careful for myself that I remain in alignment right when I speak of Hashem I speak of negativity when I speak of something that's wrong in the world around me something that's wrong in my in my dalaramus and my immediate surroundings I become focused on the negative and I have to be careful about that and to use my vitahan to bring myself back into a space of confidence to a space of positivity next person in the day of fear in the day of fear says King David I will trust in you this is in tehilum and Psalms chapter 56 Verses 4 and 5. in God I will praise His word I will praise His Tire I will praise the word of Hashem I trusted in Hashem I will not be afraid what can a human being do to me it's very interesting to me looking at the way that King David refers to Hashem your first Hashem is the name of God's judgment right Hashem everything that we experience in the world whether it's positive or negative everything is from God right the the way that we refer to God is based on our experience of him when we speak of elikim and it means we are experiencing his judgment is experiencing a day of fear he's experiencing God's judgment but he says I will praise His word I will praise the Judgment as well I will praise I will recognize that everything that happens to me even the things that seem negative even those things are from God I trust in Hashem I even trust in God's judgment that the Judgment of God is is fair the Judgment of God is fitting I often I've no reason to be afraid of any human on the day that my fear becomes plentiful becomes great I will trust new Hashem because you have the ability to save me from all of them the red doc now Bay Lake I will trust in Hashem is even though as we know about King David King David was constantly on the run right first he's being chased by shol Amela King Saul he's being chased by his son Absalom right his life was a life on the Run he had sometime there were some days that he experience that were peaceful but for the most part we learned a lot about David's travails so even though I was pushed out and I'm exiled from place to place I trust in your Hashem I'm not afraid of what a human being will do to me now we have the Melbourne Bella Kim halal AF says the Malibu what we said before even when Hashem comes to me with the name Elohim Elohim denotes God's attribute of Justice even though God is coming with his attribute of Justice I can see that Hashem ishma is a man of war as it were this is Rashi Rashi says this I will still praise him I will trust in him it looks like Hashem is is interacting with me with judgment I will still continue to have my to to keep my faith here we get to the moment because I knew this is the moment why do I why do I have this confidence how do I know I can trust in Hashem because I knew that my help would come from above I trusted in my God because I trusted in Hashem it is fitting that I be saved and Russia speaks about a repair he speaks about the fact that there are different possibilities there are alternate realities right Hashem lays out the possibilities in front of me and depending on how I interact with the kurdishborough who depending on how I perceive Hashem the feeling on how I approach my relationship with Hashem I can receive different possibilities it could be a person is on a path of Darkness why 100 reasons why a myriad of reasons why we don't know why but if a person turns to Hashem and they can be in a number of different ways it could be and be talking it could be in gratitude I can thank Hashem we've spoken about this in the past I can thank Hashem for the very thing I don't like in my life because that shows that it's a funny thing right it's a funny thing inside of myself I say thank you for the thing I don't like it's a full acceptance of it shows be talking about Hashem should save me because of my trust in him by trusting in Him I get I get switched to a different reality I get switched to the reality of bitachen of rahamim of mercy of kindness of free gifts I can get free gifts from a kudos because God Saves all those who trust in him okay Hashem I don't have to be afraid because what can a human being do to me if I'm with Hashem a human being can't contravene the will of Hashem so if I am in the will of Hashem if I am attuned to the will of Hashem if I am in a relationship with Hashem Everything Changes the whole equation is a different equation next is also in the same chapter until chapter 56 verse 12 Baylor Maya said I trusted in my God I will not be afraid what can a human being do to me asles the redox has a similar thing to what we just saw in the moment because I trusted in Hashem no human being can trust can touch me now no human being can cause any negative any negative result to me why because I trust the notion so the stuff it says as we pointed out before it was Rashi even when there's Amir sadin or there's two ways to read this it could also mean I trusted which means I trusted that that which he's doing for me is fair it's right it's appropriate I don't necessarily know why as we said actually I said because even when God is angry at me even when God is using his his attribute of divine Justice it's not destructive God does not want to destroy me God loves me Hashem loves me he's my father even when my father is angry he doesn't want to destroy me so I don't need to be afraid of human beings I don't need to be afraid of anybody because I know that everything that's going on in my life is just is fair okay now the moment will look at here together Shem positive tests chapter 62 verse nine of Psalms foreign trust in Hashem at every moment o Nation poor in front of him your hearts Ella God is our protector forever King David is speaking to those in Exile s trust in Hashem in every moment that God will bring to you the Redemption that can mean your personal Redemption the passions here it means our national Redemption what does it mean when it says at every moment s says the radak even though kalis is so long 1953 years we've been in golis we've been in Exile only the last 75 years have we had our own country because who has returned us seven million strong right but it's a new phenomenon it's the beginning of the Redemption said 100 years ago but I hope is even though it seems like the Redemption where is he where is meshiach where's the Messiah where is God's revelation we want to see God in this world right trust in him and every time trusting God pour out your heart in front of him you know what the key to Redemption is chuva repentance change your ways come back to God be afraid of your sins don't be afraid of what's kept us here because we can change we can be different we can be better we can be deserving of the Rahman the mercy Hashem wants to show us God is a protective for us God covers Us right hashem's protection is different from human beings production human being may protect but then comes a day doesn't feel like it or he's not able to Hashem is always able always ready always merciful she wasn't Hashem Hashem who else is there to trust in only Hashem it's dark the goddess is long the Exile is dark juva returned to him be talking have confidence in him in the last piece from the Melbourne you my nation you my beloved Nation says King David trust in Hashem trusting Hashem is a great advantage over trusting anything else anyone else when person trusts in human beings or a person trusting themselves I can't trust in them at every time if it's a tough time for the guy who I'm trusting in let's say you you just lost a bundle in the stock market I can't trust him can't turn to him it's a bad day for him he's having a bad day can't trust him all the time because it's a bad day he won't be able to save him but you can trust in Hashem at all times it's number one number two shahabits him when you trust a human being they don't know what's really going on in your heart you could cry to somebody you can tell them your troubles but they'll never really know what's happening inside of you your storm Chase since I'm embarrassed to tell people I don't want to say what's going on with me I don't even want to tell my best friends what's going on with me leave you can pour out your heart in front of some Hashem knows everything that's going on inside of your heart and there's nothing to be ashamed of in front of God even when we've done something wrong even when we've we've sinned there's nothing to be ashamed of in front of God we can be ashamed we can be embarrassed but we can admit it and we can say I'm not happy about this thing that I'm doing I want to change I want to be better some help me do what's right third gimmel Shadow kimono the third difference is that God protects us he covers for us foreign it is much better to be protected by Hashem to trust in Hashem that he will protect me entrusting in a human being because only Hashem can truly protect me only Hashem can truly take care of me only Hashem really has all of my best interests in mind thanks so much for listening see you again next time
