you're listening to the 112th edition of
the we talking podcast
we're continuing Sook him from
represental
posix says in chapter 21 verse 8 of of
tohillon of Psalms Hashem
ite
King David could say such powerful words
the king trusts in Hashem
and it's the
kindness of the one above that never
falters that never that never
disappoints
the king the most powerful one can trust
in Hashem
doesn't need any he doesn't need any
help he's got all the powers he's got
all the money he's got all of the
soldiers he's got everything
he trust in Hashem the king Hashem tells
us the king
the king trusts in Hashem
says they're a dog
foreign
that he doesn't have any trust he
doesn't have any Joy
in many people
he has everyone on his side which of
course just learning with my daughter
she was studying for a test reading
about the stories and the troubles and
travails that he had sometimes everyone
was on his side sometimes they weren't
but he could have everyone on his side
and he and that's not where he gets his
Joy that's not where he has his be
talking that's interesting the radar
puts be talking enjoy together
that's not it it's not because he's
succeeded it's not because there's so
many people on his side it's just Hashem
it's only in you Hashem
usually be talking
it's in the kindness of the one above
the most exalted uppermost kindness
that's what he tries
because Hashem is above everything
if Hashem wants to he can save he can do
good whatever he wants him
whether it's the person needs a lot a
person needs a little bit
that's why he knows if I trust in Hashem
I have nothing to worry about I have
nothing to fear
I won't falter why
because I'm trusting in Hashem
on the bottom of the page he brings you
another note
book
which is the famous book
of the son of the rambam or above rum he
explains like this is
person who is dependent
on how does he make his money how does
he have his livelihood it's from some
kind of involvement that it really
depends on the weather it depends on the
day
like a fisherman or a hunter
that kind of person where I would add a
musicians Hashem
so this type of person has a stronger
sense of trust in Hashem
is
someone who has a set income they know
how much they're going to receive they
have a paycheck they they work
it's harder for them to be talking with
elishoni
this is the words of the Republican is a
disposite
if a person works for other people
so it's very hard for them to have full
be tough and it's hard for him to have
full trust in Hashem
is
somebody works for a king or I would say
in present parlance someone who's a
government worker someone who is a union
worker
it's much harder to be perfect
in in one zamuna and is
why King David says
in in talim chapter 40 verse 5.
praiseworthy is the person who plays
Hashem to be his trust him
he doesn't turn
towards the rohaven and the the false
false floaters
it means the it means Idols but it's
a reverence to the fact that
you never know with a human being you
might trust in a human being but you
never know
when Hashem is guaranteed okay number
dovet that's why King David says I'm
sorry about that already
that's why
when he fought and battled in the war of
the Four Kings and the five Kings he
didn't want to take the money
from the king of Saddam right it says I
don't want him to say that you made me
Rich
I wanted to be clear
that everything that I have
is only from Hashem
now this is a very high level very
difficult level
and this is something which is almost
impossible to accomplish but David ml
did accomplish this someone who has a
lot of money
but he doesn't depend on his money like
job said
talks about the foolishness of following
after money thinking that that's what he
can depend upon
if a person has the ability even though
he's so rich right eov was an incredibly
wealthy person
but he didn't depend on his money he was
a while ago that we have great advantage
what I mean to say is can't meet us
because
we talking when a person is in a state
of wealth is very difficult it's it's
not an easy thing
person can
accomplish that it is possible
King David did accomplish this
he said he said absolutely clearly the
wealth and the honor come from you
and he said it's from you from your hand
that it was given
a king
this is the kavana here this is the
intent over here that the king
foreign
prime minister who takes all the credit
for himself no
we want a leader we want a true king
the Messiah will be
someone who takes no credit for himself
someone gives all the credit to God
he's wealthy he's successful everything
he's got it all but he doesn't take any
credit for himself that's what that's
what we're waiting for that's the kind
of leader that we want that's the kind
of person like think about Joseph that's
what he said taparo I just heard this
from shashiva again in the in the
context of he says I heard that you know
how to explain dreams because he says
it's not me
foreign if God wills it I'll have an
answer for you he didn't even say Allah
have an answer Hashem will answer you
right
and that's this is an incredible
challenge somebody who has a lot someone
who has talent
someone who has success
someone who has
you know it's a great challenge
and the success is dependent
especially for someone who's working
with Talent with music with art any of
these kinds of things a fisherman
this success is dependent on the Seattle
and when a person thinks that it comes
from themselves that's when they lose
their seats they lose
the the Divine assistance it only comes
when a person is in a humble place
that's
just the facts
this is such an important lesson such an
important idea might
and I'd like to actually skip to one of
them a fortune later on here who
explains
says
he trusts in God's kindness which never
ends up
David didn't King David wasn't anointed
because he was so
absolutely brilliant he was but that's
not what why he was anointed it wasn't
because there's so many factors that he
didn't have if you compare
Tosh the first king of the Jewish people
David didn't have all these attributes
in fact when schmole came to anoint the
the he knew that he had to anoint one of
the sons of ishai and the other brothers
seemed to be the white right ones but
they weren't the right ones
but it was David that since
there was a kindness from Hashem it was
Leslie Montgomery was not him it wasn't
himself
the reason that we're going to have a
mashiach messiah who comes from The
Offspring of from King David
his his kingship will last forever why
because that was the essence of who he
was it wasn't because of himself he was
worthy but even even despite his
worthiness he never he never was
interested in receiving because of his
worthiness he was always
and he knew that if I have the kindness
of Hashem
volume up there's no there's no end it
doesn't it doesn't fail
doesn't fail
the person depends on Hashem it doesn't
fail
if a person is trying to depend on his
own merits
chances aren't so great
when the merits disappear as soon as a
person thinks that they're you know that
it's himself
the Barbie Now says
this is
foreign
captured
1700 horses
and 20 000 foot soldiers
David
destroyed
interesting he destroyed
all of those horses he took all the
horses and he
he made them unable to walk
if he just left over 100 horses out of
those
out of those 1700
this is
to know that David understood something
it says in the Torah that the king is
not supposed to have a lot of horses
so he didn't want to take all the horses
that he captured 1 700 horses he took
them
foreign
understands what it means to be a king
and to remain a proper King for amisrael
sorry there's a lot of bugs here
so he knew that the tourist directive
not to have a lot of horses meant that
he can't take these horses home
he won the battle you can't take these
horses home
foreign
and the kindness of the one above that's
what never falters
now some commanded yahshua that there
was an obligation to take all of the
horses that they captured
make them unable to function
s Parts the same and arkovalamata
that the purpose of this was to take
them from the knee down
what was done was that they took the
horses from the knee down and they made
them unable to run
so they shouldn't use these horses
that they shouldn't become a mircho they
shouldn't be a stumbling block for the
Jewish people
what's the idea watch out
is my power my very power
there's danger in my power
the danger is that I become
I become
full of myself I become
I start to believe that I can do this
and I need to always remind myself
another time another time it's not me
it's only Hashem
he brings here on the bottom Cipher
the son of the Hassan cyber I think it
is
he said it's Russia in honor of the king
foreign
in the middle of his drasha so he
mentioned something that his father said
how King David did not make anything
dependent on himself he never said it's
me that I accomplished
when King David would go out to war
he would never believe he would never
claim that these wars were successful
because of his own power
but rather he would always give the
credits to God
he didn't do anything on his own
Kim King David didn't do anything on his
own
he's just a receptacle to receive
whatever Hashem gives him from Heaven
that's it
Azam commercial
interesting at a time of anger and a
time of danger
so there's an analogy to in an oven
a fire a fire oven an oven like they
have to to make the matses where there's
a fire burning inside the back of the
oven
right it's when somebody puts that when
you put the uh when you put the dough
the flat dough into the oven and it
makes a matzah
it's not the oven that makes the Heat
it's the it's the fire that makes the
Heats
right it's the oven it's just a clean
within which the fire can
gather and be be
Limited in that space and then it can it
can cook
or bake
right the next person says as of this
one that your right hand is going to
strike my enemies you Hashem are going
to get those who hate me
what does it mean it means that Hashem
uses King David as his right hand
Hashem uses King David dovet is just a
glove so to speak on God's on God's hand
says
I found my king I found David to be
faithful to me
we find
I think it's about you found his heart
to be faithful to you
is a faithful servant he just does
whatever God wants he just acts as a as
a conduit for God to bring about his
will into the world
this teaches that the king doesn't do
anything on his own
um
he just gets the Heat
from hashem's face as it were
he's just a Klee through which Hashem
brings
his power into the world
that's what the king is that's that is
the aspect of malchus
that comes to the kingship in
kabbalistic literature refers to the for
example the the we say
once a month
when we sanctify the moon so we're going
to do this
right
the moon has no light of its own it's
just a reflection of the light of the
Sun
in the same way King David is the aspect
of malchus it's the aspect of reflection
he's just a vessel that Hashem shines
through because
he is so such a clean vessel
he has nothing of his own before Hashem
shines through him
now he brings here the Hassan saver
himself
he had King David had a tremendous not
just when he was young
also when he was King
so it didn't depend on his soldiers on
his wealth Hashem
he wasn't like a fool
who spaces out and thinks everything is
going to be okay it's not like the the
fool spaces out thinks everything's
gonna be okay not because he actually
depends on Hashem
but because
it's no better
government was not a fool he wasn't just
trusting Hashem he had other things to
trust him
he had his soldiers he had wealth but he
trusted specifically in Hashem
and finally the last point from the era
of Rome o
what this means to say is
although the king trusts in Hashem
the king does not a person who trust in
Hashem is not afraid to keep asking for
hashem's kindness
always constantly cubicles
person is afraid I don't deserve it I'm
not the person who I really should be
I don't have this costume I don't have
the merits
depending on you and your kindness once
again depending on you on your kindness
once again I'm depending on you
and your kindness
thank you so much for listening
see you again next time
