Bitachon 137 - Bitachon When We Sin?
580 views
We explore the passuk in Tehillim (Psalms) chapter 32 passuk 10, which speaks about the many pains and trials of the wicked person and how kindness surrounds the one who trusts in Hashem. We delve into the possibility that even a wicked person can employ bitachon, despite his wickedness, or perhaps because his faith turns him back from his evil ways.

you're listening to the 137th edition of
the we
podcast and the py that we're about to
study together there's really a lot on
this PK and the concept is so deeply
important that I expect that we'll spend
not just this week but also next next
week exploring this PK together the PK
is in chapter 32: 10 of Psalms it
says the evil person the wicked person
has tremendous or many many uh
tremendous amounts of pain or many
things that cause him
pain somebody who trusts in Hashem he is
surrounded by
kindness okay so let's look at this
together in the in the in the most
simple understanding of the PK I'd like
to point that we're gonna we're gonna
have we're gonna have a whole discussion
now which has to do with if a person is
a Russ and he trust in hem we spoken
about this in the past but it's
important to go over this and I'm going
to elaborate very very uh very soon as
to
why when a person is a Russ let's say
they're Wicked and they trust in hem
does there be Talk work can a person
who's Wicked trust in Hashem and see the
same miracle that a righteous person who
trusts in Hashem will see does that does
that work but I just like to point out
before we actually start the discussion
that the simple understanding of the
vak is that a person it's it's it's a
contrast it's a contrast between someone
who is
wicked and the wicked person is the
opposite of the one who trusts in
Hashem and what happens to someone who
trusts in Hashem he is surrounded by
kindness which means the natural state
of a person who
is the natural state of someone who
trusts in hem is that they don't have
troubles they don't have pains or
perhaps we could say they don't notice
the pain they're busy either being mtic
Hashem you know saying how they deserve
it or they're busy saying how Hashem
loves me and it's for my best or they're
not even noticing the pain or really
ideally nothing bad happens to them
because when a person is in a true
relationship with
Hashem so then they're surrounded by
kindness that's
the is coming to
say as opposed to a wicked individual
Wicked individual has a lot of
pain a person who does not trust in
Hashem a person who doesn't have a
relationship with Hashem so they pain
their pains are many there's a lot to
complain about nothing's ever good
enough because even the Small Things the
small pains are enough to cause the
Russia to
complain now that's the in in what I
would say in my understanding is the the
simple understanding of the
verse and we're going to discuss how
it's saying according to many opinions
that even a Russia even a wicked person
if they trust in
Hashem they
also will see kindness from Hashem and
it's an important Point why is it
important
because the the alar of naric is is one
who stresses this point and the reason
is because he doesn't want us to ever
fall into the Trap and think that we
can't have B for any
reason the altar of naric makes it a
cardinal
sin to ever think that you can't have
you can always have you can always trust
in hm and hm will always answer
your will always come through that's the
rule of the altar of
naric so the alar and the veric wants us
to understand and uses this to bring it
across that even if a person thinks
they're not worthy of being of of Hashem
giving them what they ask for or what
they need or what they have B
for never make that
mistake even in Russia a wicked person
and none of us are R none of us are
wicked but even a wicked person who
trusts in Hashem truly trusts in hem as
we'll
see even such a person their will work
so I don't have to worry about my my can
work let's see this together
the first thing that he brings is the
which is
the says the
Mish the evil one the wicked person has
a lot of
pains because he doesn't place his trust
in
hasem so he has a lot of
troubles but if he places his Trust inem
he'll be surrounded by
kindness in the name of
says a wicked person even if he's wicked
but he trusts in hem be surrounded by
kindness his will
work here he brings in the notes a
lengthy discussion of this
idea and he brings the opposite opinion
which
is
says this is
in somebody trusts
inem a person who trusts in hem has talk
but at the same time he defies God
he works against God
he doesn't fulfill the T
Etc what a foolishness this is how weak
is this
person how how dumb is this
person certainly somebody who
transgresses the the laws of
hasem and his
Commandments
right that person say will be
disappointed the person who defies God
who doesn't fulfill hm's will and he has
it's not going to work
says when when he defies
him that's not you can't be
called you can't be called somebody who
trusts in
if you also defy
God that's what that's what
says we're going to see the G which is
going to be brought in the saer
itself it's later on in a
different
the magish that we just quoted is
explicit not like it's explicitly not
like I would like to add says the of the
I'd like to add a few different sources
for this
idea the leam writes leam is the
grandfather of
rash
he writes that in regards to the the
generation of the Wilderness the the the
generation that was in the in the midbar
for 40 years the the verse tells us they
did not believe in God's
wonders why didn't they enter the land
of Israel why were they stuck in in the
in
the Wilderness of 40 years and this is
important for all of us because there
are a lot of people who are afraid to
come to Israel the same fear that how
will I make it there will I make it
there financially how will I make it
there for my
kids but that was the same fear that
they had in those times they didn't
believe in God's
Miracles it doesn't mean that it wasn't
heaven forbid and this is true about
anybody today it's not
forbid because they have there you know
there's something bad about
them they they felt they didn't deserve
it they weren't good enough for
it but they made a terrible
mistake nothing can stand in the way of
your
nothing can stand in the way
of like it says in the T that we
mentioned he points out something which
is important that when a person is
wicked and they trust in
hasem the truth is that there will work
but there's an important important
caveat and that
is that in the end will
collect on that which is owed by the
person who did something
wrong where that person has not the
person hasn't repented having forbid
from the sins that they've done against
God even though they had be which is a
very nice thing a beautiful thing an
amazing thing one of the most exalted
things but the person still needs to
repent from their evil ways and if they
haven't Hashem will will find the moment
when it's appropriate
to to pay the person back for their
sin could
be the wouldn't contradict this
meaning is saying that a person who
trust in God with they're evil they're a
fool they it won't work it could be that
what he means to say is that they won't
get out of having to pay and maybe it's
not exactly saying that their won't
work in the SA miss of Aon which I
believe might be Baron
Cutler he discusses this
difficulty he says like
this that it's
clear he brings verses he brings
the and he says how brings M sources
from that person who's Wicked cannot
trust in
work
points out that we find says that works
for
Russ it could be that when we bring the
verses that show that a wicked person
the does not
work
listen to this a
person who quote
has but at the same time he does
something which shows that he doesn't
really
have he does an act of wickedness which
shows that he doesn't have B for example
he steals from somebody and he has B
that he won't get caught hold on a
second if you're a person who had really
trust in Hashem why are you
stealing you have be talking you
know you'll get the money in a in a in a
in a way that's what that's
permitted if you can't have then you're
going to get the money in a way that's
permitted your doesn't work it's it's
it's a joke is a joke it's not real
that's what Miss
says
that's according to him that's what it's
talking about
in
for example a person is dishonest he's
wicked in his business
dealings right why why is a person
sitting in this area because he's he's
trying so hard to get
money he trust this is how he's going to
get it
he that's not
real
because if hasem wants to he doesn't
have a problem to give him the money in
a in a permitted
way but if his is real so he can he can
have a wickedness in a different area
and still has been work in this
area like to read one more little thing
inside of this
note wine in his safer called he says as
follows he brings and then he says as
follows all of the
other came after the they disagree with
him if a person is wicked they could
still
have he BRS
BRS even though a person deserves to be
punished for their wickedness and
there's no who doesn't is not he doesn't
give up on the the fact that the person
needs to under go some kind of
punishment for his for his uh sin
without without his chuva unless he does
chuva but this is the facts this is how
created the world he he programmed the
world in such a way that if a person
turns to
Hashem he turns to the
above so M can I get me the measure for
measure Hashem turns to him
so if it's
possible for this person who is wicked
even though he's done such terrible
things he still has full in he still
turns completely to
God
he understands that God is different
than me a human being can't be Cil
somebody who does something wrong to him
and then and then turn turns around and
says please help me a human being can't
be can't can't hand handle such a thing
but God
can and if this wicked person has the
depth of understanding to turn to Hashem
and and and and he knows that God wants
to do good to him with a with a with
such incredible love such incredible
patience despite the wrong and despite
the fact that it'll be paid back for the
wrong this is deeper than the normal
ways of
judgment even of
justice and this person stands himself
up in front of hasem with just
Simplicity and
and he goes in a way which is not so
intellectual so according to this so
Hashem
will interact with him in a measure for
measure way such that this person will
receive tremendous
kindness doesn't mean he won't end up
paying for the sins that he's done
but a wicked person can and certainly we
who are not Wicked can trust in hasm
even when we've done things wrong even
when we've done things that seem to be
terribly
wrong never give up you can always turn
to Hashem incredible so encouraging so
beautiful Shem is our parent he loves us
so
much let's see
onwards this is in
they said as
follows interesting in the med in this
med it says even if a person was a Russ
but he
was he
repented will receive his
repentance right let's read the verse
again
the wicked one has many pains has much
pain understands the mag but if that
same Wicked individual changes he does
chuva so then and BEC somebody who
trusts in hasem so
then he's surrounded by kindness and I
would say that that's what that's what B
does B brings us back into a
relationship with hm
it inspires us to want to do
chuv for the things that we've done
wrong but let's see how Ral understands
this
m right he brings the M that the first M
that we brought which says that even a
wicked person who does doesn't doesn't
say that they did chuva just the fact
that they trusted in Hashem they'll
still be able to receive the kindness
who
perish he
explains and the one who trusts as
opposed to one as opposed to and a TR
and someone who
trusts R
the so we're understanding that it means
that and such a person who trusts
meaning a wicked person who
trusts if they trust in hem which means
that they
repent as this me
says so then they'll be surrounded by
kindness so it's a slightly different
understanding of the me than we've seen
until now but the idea is that the
the the person who recognizes in
himself that they're not good that
they've done
wrong but I want I want to sh to help me
or I want have a relationship with hm I
recognize my
mistake I want to be better I want to be
greater reconnect to be
reconnect to Hashem reconnect to our
relationship and then will be surrounded
by so much kindness by so much good from
hasm thanks for listening we see you
again next time
