We continue another five minutes of
the incredible words of the BI. We began
the fourth chapter yesterday with the
words of the BI teaching us that if one
has
vid that means he forgot about Hashem.
It's a seessaw. It's a relationship, an
inverse relationship. If one has Hashem
on his mind, there's no fears of other
people. The moment that Hashem is not on
one's mind for a moment, that's when
the fears of other people come in. And
if we think about this deeply as the
basi is about to develop this really
means the relationship between
and
amuna Hashem running the world Hashem
being almighty
down to the practical running of it day
by day and continues the base. We'll
pick it up from the bottom of page
eight. He says
if a person puts on his heart
that everything in this world
everything anything that's going to
happen to me to you to any single person
whether it's from another person whether
it's from a circumstance seemingly all
is from
is from Hashem continues the Bavian page

When another person does something to
you, he's not acting and creating
Hashem's will. Of course not. He is
acting in the way that God determined he
should act. Obviously, with his own, but
he's not going contrary to the design of
God.
He's not adding on to Hashem. He's not
diminishing it.
Hashem's precision is down to the needle
head.
Not to make something happen early, to
make it happen late.
And
what's there to be afraid of if Hashem
is running everything down to the D of
the needle? Now over here in note 14
Satin points out so beautifully that the
more we strengthen our amuna which is
the belief that Hashem is running
everything down to that needle point the
more we'll be able to live with
that Hashem is holding our hand and he
quotes an incredible Ramban the Ramban
and
that he compares the relationship of
to a tree and its fruit and muna is the
tree and is the fruit. You water, you
tend for the tree, you strengthen the
tree. What's going to happen? The
stronger, the healthier the tree, the
more delicious, the more abundant the
fruit will be. So too, the more we work
on our amuna, the more we think about
this fact that yes, nothing could happen
to me even from another person without
Hashem so desiring than our
practical as the reminds us constantly
to live with
that is.
So we want to know how can we not be
fearful of other people? How can we not
be anxious of situations whether it's
health, whether it's money, whether it's
children. How is it possible? Bolster
your amuna. Bolster your belief in how
great God is and how he is running
everything down to the micro microscopic
level. The tree is strong. The fruit
that come off it will be strong. And
when you turn the page over to page 10,
it says a beautiful, beautiful mashall.
Someone's walking down the street. He's
in a crimeridden neighborhood. Scary.
So, he puts on a bulletproof vest and he
knows he could be hurt. He could be
damaged. But he'll live because he's
wearing that bulletproof vest. As he's
walking down the street, it's late at
night and he sees a figure lurking. He
gets nervous. He gets anxious.
Why? Because he forgot at that precise
moment that he's wearing the bulletproof
vest. He touches himself. Ah. He takes a
deep breath. When we remind oursself
that Hashem is running everything down
to that smallest of details, then we can
as well take that deep breath and not be
the smallest bit fearful. It's
difficult. It's hard. It's an it's a
lifelong work because he quotes in the
footnotes here from Levitzkin
that said that if there was one day he
didn't work in amuna, he felt the
difference. It's a constant. It's an
everyday. Let's keep on watering that
tree. Let's keep on growing in our
amuna, realizing how Hashem runs
everything down to that needle head. And
slowly we'll be able to live with
realizing that yes, we are wearing a
bulletproof vest. Hashem, our loving
father, the almighty, the creator of
this world, he's holding our hand as he
orchestrates every single detail.
