Bitachon 99 - Offerings of Righteousness
409 views
We discuss the passuk in Tehillim (Psalms) where King David asks us to give 'offerings of righteousness' and then to 'have bitachon in Hashem.' This can mean a number of different things, but the underlying theme is that if we focus on our spiritual accomplishments, we can be sure that we will see the reward in the end, which is a relationship with Hashem.

you're listening to the 99th edition of
the Beethoven podcast
and we're going to continue in the sukim
that represento me salant collected
and the parish rights Yeshua
brings many different perusians from the
from the
we shine
offer sacrifices of righteousness
offer offerings of righteousness
and Trust in Hashem
Ravi Nelson he brings here the majority
we find many sources for the concept
that's being spoken about in the Madrid
we have this
offer up offerings of righteousness what
does it mean
in this position
Hashem says
stick out your hands and grab the
Commandments grab every opportunity to
fulfill hashem's will
be
foreign
right so there's a few levels here we're
going to see more about this as we
continue on but on the simple level you
know a person can do good deeds a person
can do things that are right
and you don't always see immediately the
results of your actions sometimes it
seems like I'm doing what's right why
does it not seem like who is supporting
me why does it seem like I'm not getting
what I need or I'm not getting what I
deserve
so
don't let it stop you says the possock
don't let it stop you stick out your
hands there are opportunities in front
of you to do Mitzvahs opportunity to
fulfill hashem's will do it and trust
that you will receive your reward it may
not be in this world
it may not be openly visible
but you will see
your reward have faith
sworno
what is this a reference do we find
another Posse can tell him that says
that
the offerings of Hashem what does it
mean give Hashem your offerings what are
the offerings of Hashem
in the offerings of Hashem our Broken
Heart
right sometimes I was just reading
yesterday from
from the grandson of Victor Miller from
abrog talking about how sometimes
in order to to have the right be talking
or to order to get into that space that
we talk we need to be at the end of our
rope
we've tried everything it's not working
we're broken
when we break at the moment that we
break at the moment that we feel
it's we can't do it anymore there's
nothing left for me to do
at that moment
it's possible for me
through that offering of my heart what's
the offering the offering is the Broken
Heart
then I can have bittaj
because
when you request a Hashem to fulfill
your needs your requests
when it comes from that broken heart
is
entrust in Hashem
that he will indeed save you
okay
now he has here Joseph
a different shot
what does it mean to offer righteous
offerings says it means
give charity
giving Charities like a Corbin
it's even more in a certain sense
because it's something that I've done
intentionally wrong
right
a Carbone I can bring a carbon when I've
done something unintentionally I've done
a sin unintentionally but when I give to
Dhaka
the self-sacrifice that's involved in
giving charity hey it's my money I
worked hard for this money when I give
it to somebody else
that
submission
that's sacrifice that's self-sacrifice
that sacrifice of the ego
can atone for a sin that I've done even
intentionally
foreign
is more it's a it's a more chosen thing
to Hashem
it's more beloved Hashem
than a sacrifice
so charity
and
it's not clear to me if it means charity
isn't giving money or if it just means
righteousness as in making sure that
things are just but
charity and Justice go together
so this is greater than bringing a
sacrifice who
foreign
so this is what it means when it says an
apostle
give an offering what is offering
offering is Charity offering is
righteousness the offering is justice
give that offering to Hashem
and then as a result of that you can be
better you can trust in Hashem
we find the prosec or concept of
that Hashem when when you give to duck
when you give charity so Hashem replaces
the money for you
hey
and what is the what is the antecedent
I'm not sure if the word antecedure
means previous or result I want to say
the result what is the result of Sudoku
or what is the antecedent of Shalom what
is what
what comes before peace
and peace is a sense of relaxation a
piece is a sense of
everything is fine
where does that Sense come from that
comes from be talking where does be
talking come from it comes from charity
as if he does explaining
foreign give those offerings of charity
give those offerings of Justice
do what's right
if you do it's right then you can be
guaranteed
that what you need
you will receive that's where peace is
now we have the outshift
is
this is speaking head on directly to
those who leave the Torah because they
say look
how can I learn how can I focus my
efforts on the study of Torah on the
study on the performance of The
Commandments
how can I do that I have to have
paranasa first
if I don't have
if there's no flower if there's no
sustenance
can't study
um
the person says look
Hashem test me let him give me Wells
that didn't give me
all of my needs and then Hashem will see
that I'm going to spend all my time
studying Torah
so the person
you know the person makes a
rationalization for himself and says
look I can't spend any time learning
because I have to spend all my time
working on my pronounce Hashem hasn't
giving me wealth I'm not rich right if
Hashem would make me Rich I would sit
and learn
so the possible King David is responding
to that China
and he's saying like this is
what God will respond to such a person
a
who is more trustworthy
says God to
this person
is it me or you
to say that you are more trustworthy
than I am right
it says Hashem you my dear friend you my
sweet human being
start learning
start being involved in learning
in a state of despair of desperation
of lack
okay
and trust me that I will provide for you
what you need
with the fruits of the Torah
spiritual principle
if you are involved with learning
if you are involved with mitsis
you will receive the fruits what are the
fruits
it goes on through a list of the things
that you get the fruits in this world
and the the
tree itself so to speak is there for the
person of the world to come and what's
the final one on the list
so there's a promise studying Torah
guarantees that you'll have everything
that you need so start with that
it's about this that the posix says
bring offerings of righteousness
you do yours you take care of your part
you'll be involved in Torah learning
you'll be involved in Mitzvahs you'll be
involved in spiritual Pursuits
trust in me that I'm going to take care
of you
when it comes to your paranaso when it
comes to your livelihood Hashem
and trust that Hashem when you do what's
right you're going to get all that you
need in order to continue on that path
he brings here on the notebook
we find this principle the ramban writes
it
is Hashem
that a person is obligated to start
serving Hashem
and then trust that Hashem will help him
to say foreign
which is called
which is all about
faith in Hashem
absolute trust in Hashem
this is his this is what he says
means that I trust Hashem
that he's going to help me so that I can
perform
his Commandments
this is why we find that the public says
first it says trust in Hashem and do
good why is
trust in Hashem means trust in him
that he will help you and he will
support you in order to do his will
to fulfill his Commandments trust him
and then it says go out and do good
first you need the transaction that
you're going to have what you need
then you can go out and do the mixes you
need not worry you need not think oh how
can I be involved in mid space sorry
how can I be involved in mitzis how will
I be provided for no trust in Hashem
that he wants you to do the Mrs he's
going to help you to have what you need
so you can fulfill and perform the
Commandments
is a run after the Commandments and try
your best to do them what is
don't hold back from doing what's right
because of your perceived
uh lack of ability
because
Hashem will help you
he will support you he will make sure
that you are able to do everything that
you need to do so this is
Hashem
run after mitsus run after the
Commandments run after Torah
don't let that thought into your mind
well how will I support my family don't
let that thought in
push it aside and know that when you do
what's right
you will be provided for it's a promise
last thing from the air of rum
yes
what this means to say is
that we need to have be talking
that we will Merit
and we will Merit to have a world to the
world to come what does it mean the
world to come what is this reward that
we speak about if we do the Mitzvahs you
will receive Rewards
what is the reward the reward is
Hashem shows himself to us he shows us
his love
shows us his light there's no greater
enjoyment in the entire world
every enjoyment that we experience in
this world is just a a
nothing nothing compared to the
enjoyment
of
hashem's Revelation Hashem
his light in the world
to us that's what all my boys
in order to receive on my bus so don't
run after any falsehood Allah
we need to sacrifice what do we need to
sacrifice as the bear avram
we need to sacrifice our taivas
our base desires for food for lusts for
Honor all of these things
are anger
or what is anger think about it what is
anger anger is I didn't get what I want
demanding of Life what we want what we
expect what
I deserve
let go of the anger
like all the time is
that's a sacrifice
because
you need to know that just because I did
this I did the menses
I learned the Torah
I gave up my typhus
I gave up my anger I didn't get upset
when someone wronged me I let it go
mcgilly
okay I didn't get I didn't take Masha
magiali in this world I didn't try to
grab what I deserve this for a bun
I deserve the next world right
hold on a second sister
put that thought on hold
not even on my buff just hold on a
second okay don't worry you're gonna get
on my butt
have the right attitude about it says
the bathroom
even when I do something Hashem doesn't
owe me Hashem does not have to give me
all my book doesn't have to give me a
revelation of his goodness
and that enjoyment
you shall him
who who says that Hashem has to give me
anything
yeah Hashem says that that's what he
does but who says that he has to nobody
nobody uh you know I'm saying I
shouldn't doesn't owe anybody anything
is
Hashem is the one who decides to give us
to provide for us to offer us good to do
kindness for us all the time but it
doesn't owe us anything we haven't done
anything for God that really we're just
doing what we're supposed to do it's not
like we've done anything that makes us
Worthy
Hashem
but despite the fact that Sean does not
owe me anything despite the fact that
Hashem does not have to give me anything
but trust and Hashem is
telling us
do what's right but sacrifice and and
not but sacrifice your type sacrifice
your desires sacrifice your anger Your
Righteous anger
but also sacrifice your belief that
Hashem owes you anything
and Trust in Hashem trust in his
kindness
Hashem loves us
he wants to give us every good
trust in him that it's going to be good
trust in him that he's going to indeed
give you um of course he will
but not because
I did his mitsus I deserve yeah because
I did God's will
that's not why Hashem is going to reward
me is going to reveal his
his awesome light to me it's not because
I deserve it in any way it's out of his
great kindness
instead of hashem's great kindness think
about a parent and a child think about
how we feel towards our kids think about
how our parents feel towards us
why do we give to our kids it's not
because our kid did anything you know
I'm saying it's not because my kid I
said please bring me a cup of water my
kid brought me a cup of water and now oh
okay now I'll give you some money for
for a toy you want to buy that's not how
it goes
that's just not it
it's really simple it's I love you so
much because you're my child
yeah I I want you to I want you to be
Mohammed I want you to have the meat of
keyboard
I want my child to to know how to honor
others
honor me really to be a person who knows
how to respect and honor others
it's not about me
it's more about my child
having that me though having that
character trait
Hashem also when he asks us we must have
been him to do the mitzvahs it's not
because he needs it it's not because I
deserve something as a result of doing
it Hashem is going to give me
because he loves me and because he's
kind
and and because of course because I did
what I'm supposed to do that's also true
but the the focus the way of thinking to
be talking mindset I would say to be
talking mindset means that
I'm trusting in Hashem
that the good will come because Hashem
is kind
I'm trusting Hashem I'm not doing it out
of my it's not because of anything I did
that's that's really a hard
lesson to take in because
we act in this world we do stuff and we
do see results of our kindness we do see
the results of being good at a child who
is in a class and she's kind
or he's kind he's going to have more
friends she's going to have more friends
people want to be around people who are
kind
but that's not why she should be kind
she should be kind in order to have good
meetings in order to develop
develop that that character trade
Hashem will provide
that's the mindset of be talking is the
is the it's very interesting because
Shiva talks about in in the varics so
there were two focuses in the right
there were two main
thrusts of their avoida outside of
learning outside of the Gomorrah
the two thrusts will be talking and the
Shema
means I'm doing it for its own sake
right they're not so far away from each
other as we're as we're hearing over
here
means I'm doing it for God's sake not
for the reward not because God is going
to give me a reward he will give me a
reward
I'm in this space
I'm in this place
of the Shema
that's the focus
for the right reasons I'm having to be
talking that Hashem is nemon to pay Scar
and then Hashem is going to do so and I
will be talking and giving up
my tivus I'm giving up my desires
and I'm in that space
of doing hashem's well thank you so much
for listening see you again next time
