Treasures we're in middle of the Shiro now the 15 songs of as sense that were sung on The 15 Steps of theik and this capital is is saying that even though he had accomplished so much in life the first king of the Jewish people the composer of one of the greatest people to ever live he says my heart is not proud and my eyes are not huy let's be clear this is not D who is suffering from a lack of self-esteem is a very healthy self-esteem in fact the name David tells us what his his mission and what he stood for isid even though he's the m the m the king of the Jewish people nevertheless doid on one side and doid on another doid is a l of D poor impoverished not monetarily and financially impoverished but in terms of how he projected himself and how he presented himself as somebody who was an Oni somebody who had accomplished nothing on his own only through theay to the help and the assistance of a and he does not feel hearty and he does not feel like a Bala he doesn't feel like you showing off but a person needs to know that humility is the key not only for DAV but DAV will one day uh give birth to or his descendants will come from him and they will be mashia and mashia is described as an a poor person I believe it's apos Zaya who is riding on a donkey now if you looked at the Royal procession and you would see the inauguration when King Charles was inaugurated he was not a poor person riding on the donkey nothing of the sort there was all the Pomp and Circumstance that you can possibly imagine billions of dollars was spent on the majesty and making sure that everybody knew who the king was and the King was propped up to the eyes of the entire world D is precisely the opposite the which is there's a beautiful story when was an old man he did not stay only in the city of raden but he would make it a point to go to the other cities as well and one time he came to grna and they invited him to give some to hear some muser spent a few days in the city and he spoke to them about shabas and other topics one night was asked to give a speech to the entire you can imagine if the is speaking everybody in the town is coming to visit everybody's coming to hear the words of the and there in the crowd was a b his name zel Epstein zel Epstein would become one day the great m ofa's t are and he at the time was the talid of the grod yiva and therefore he was chosen to stand next to those who were carrying the couldn't stand kimat anymore they were lifting him and as he's standing next to him and they neared the destination they came to a narrow Alleyway it was difficult for everybody to fit in the alleyway and they could not all squeeze in at the same time into this Alleyway which would lead the into the main sha and as the talmidim pushed the chair through it was young zadel who was still able to stand there there was nobody else there because it was very very narrow and he was to hear the mumbling to himself and this is what he heard the say is Mayor right now you are here amongst people who consider you to be a somebody and even so it was not easy for you to make your way through the crowd but what's going to happen in the next World when the Mal the angels of Destruction are looking to take tear you down they're not going to let you pass by so easily what are you going to do then and Z listen to the give himself mus and more muser because he didn't want the covid to affect him he wanted to deflect the co so that he was able to remain humble and not let any of the C get to his head was the of not literally but figuratively certainly and yet he understood exactly who he was and what his place in this world was it shouldn't take much effort from us to be humble we don't have all that much to brag about but we must know that being humble is the key to being a servant of Hashem and now we continue on to the next chapter cap K B and sh in the 132nd chapter of promises I am not going to sleep the great Daddy had that beautiful niggan until I find the place for Hashem he wanted to find a dwelling place for Hashem and he promised himself I will not rest until I find a place for Hashem to dwell and the promise is one for the ages you know from was should have he didn't have a couch in his house you know why because a couch is a place to relax and this world is not meant for relaxing this world is meant for doing for accomplishing who has time to rest once hasem is resting once is resting sure then go ahead treat yourself to a little catnap full disclosure I take a catnap every day but this is the ideal that D has given us that we can't rest we have to do in this world and we have to make room for Hashem not only in our hearts but in our homes in our lives we have to constantly realize that Hashem takes up a large place in our existence and I'd like to share with you a story it's a beautiful story and it's a powerful story there's a yid by the name of reab he worked for an organization called Le sha Le sha was helping yiva and R received a phone call from a father his son was the oldest B in yiva and the yba determined that he was doing something wrong and they decided they're going to throw him out in yiba now this was a real problem because he was an older B and now how's he going to find the SH now how's he possibly going to find the sh is getting thrown out OFA not only that he had been dating he was on the verge of getting engaged and now he's going to be thrown out of yiva not only that the Kal's brother learned in the samea it would stare the there's no shil would break the and he called on RAB to help him called and he told him about the situation and Thea listened and he agreed that it's going to be terribly detrimental to the and he told he told r that he would work things out for the B but he would first have to make sure that the rest of the anola was on board on his decision to keep this young man in Yeshiva bed to and he decided to utilize his time to make some phone calls speaking quietly on the phone the fellow who was sitting next to him was not a religious person started to get very very agitated very very upset with him and he began to scream at him he told him put away your phone you're disturbing the bus ride now the other people on the bus also no friends of the FR they also started to bandwagon they also started to scream at him and before you knew it the buz driver saw that there's a tremendous motion on the bus n you saw you can't take chances commotion on the bus he pulled over to the side of the road and when he heard the story he told her listen there's no talking on the phone loudly think about how absurd it is I mean who doesn't talk on the phone everybody talks on the phone nevertheless they wanted to get onto R's case rabis was mortified he was trying to help someone and now his hands were tied he knew there was a gross overreaction but there was nothing he could do he put his phone down and he decided he's not going to answer it for the next 45 minutes now here he is he's trying to make sure that this bu is in yush he's trying to call the people on the rest of the Anala and well 45 minutes later R's phone rings it's Mish toward then and he decided you know what it's okay now now I'll answer the phone but as soon as he pulled out of his pocket his neighbor starts glaring at him as if he had done something horrifically wrong he looks at the caller IDE and he sees that the Riva was calling him back so he answers the phone and he tells the Riva listen I'm not able to talk now but before he young up theiva says to him listen I want you to know I cleared it with balla and it's going to be okay B was thrilled and he decided you know what he doesn't want to wait one more second he's calling this bck to make sure that he knows he's back in yiva the bus all of a sudden EXP loed not literally but everybody on the bus started screaming and yelling and there's nothing he could do but he felt he asked to call the boy's father and he picks up the phone to call the father and he turns around and then he realized the man sitting next to him was the father the man who had gotten agitated with him was the father he was trying to help him the whole time go figure you know sometimes we think that you know we're going to give somebody a hard time we're going to be intolerant Rema vman tells us that a person has to remember that sometimes the person that we're trying to give a hard time to is the person that's really helping us the has his he's trying to rest here and to be honest with you our behavior is giving the r a hard time if only we would have the amongst us we wouldn't have to be busy with all the troubles with all the problems that we have find the place for Hashem in your heart and you'll never regret it until next time Z e
