Is Our Fear Causing Us All Of Our Problems?

[Music] so the series by the bet he started by telling us that first and foremost you should know that most of the problems that you have you brought to yourself there's a saying we say it all the time means means divine assistance so most people when they have a uh when they have good things happen this was this was in the help of hem they have bad things happen it's like ah you know it's all AEM it's all hem tellem they confuse it's supposed to be the opposite supposed to be the opposite it why good things are happening in reality it was all hasem hasem brought us to good things bad things are happening it was assistance what was the assistance though the assistance was that hashem's actions were assisted by our sins we made sins and Hashem reacted that's the that's the Divine assistance hem made something happen as a result of our bad actions sometimes our bad actions are not necessarily murder or rape or stealing sometimes it's not doesn't have to be that sometimes our negativity could simply be just us being stressed out about something unnecessarily and the BET starts by saying if you're afraid of something when you don't have to be that fear itself can cause the thing that you're afraid of to happen there are plenty of places in the Tor that shows us that us being afraid of anything somebody being afraid of being sick somebody being afraid of being poor somebody being afraid of being alone somebody being afraid of failing somebody being afraid of anything that alone shows that they lack belief in Hashem running the world and that's enough of a reason for hem to show you that he does how does he show you that he does by making that you're afraid of actually happen and then see what you do meaning it's a punishment but it's a reward at the same time how is it a reward it's a reward because he's trying to talk to you he's spending time with you by getting your attention by causing a difficulty in your life if you acknowledge that this difficulty came from Hashem you could be elevated and never be worried about this thing ever again because you realize that the difficulty started with your worry and ended up materializing as a result of your worry if on the other hand you ignore it and you think you just have bad luck then unfortunately you'll continue getting the same test over and over because anytime that a person is afraid it's usually because he's afraid of what people think of him what she thinks of him and so on and so forth and that shows they're far away from hasem but then the BET says that for some reason or another we have a much easier time trusting people than trusting hasem somebody tells you listen I know somebody that could help how could he help oh he has some money I know this rich guy he can help you have financial problems I know this guy that can help you automatically you're elevated automatically you feel oh wow thank godem he knows this guy he's going to call Donald Trump he's going to call Donnie Trump's friend he means maybe he's going to invest in me maybe he's going to buy into this business maybe this maybe that he's going to do all these different things all of a sudden our mood changed why because we trust that this guy knows this other guy he's going to introduce us and we're going to meet this guy and he's going to be our mashiah says that belief that you have in that person that alone is a reason forem not to make it happen why because then you're going to think that guy's God and hashm doesn't want to give you the ability to go worship an idol so actually believing in people believing that the salvation comes from people is unfortunately a form of idolatry but more importantly it's a form of it's a it's a way that a lot of people lose lose their Direction lose their understanding of who runs the world and this happens a lot with religious people religious people that are doing deals with the Christian world because they think that if we're not to the Christians they're going to donate money to is and they're going to tell Donnie Trump to support is and they're going to invest the money into the IDF and they're going to invest money into this and they're going to do this and they're going to do that and it's going to help us unfortunately this alone is a reason forem to rebuke us because we're thinking that the salvation can come from people this happens to the religious people not just not religious people a lot of people do business and do a lot of things that are against theem and Torah tells us that if we think that salvation has come from anybody other than Hashem that already is the wrong road and sometimes that's a reason for Hashem to cause something bad to happen in order to wake us up because we need to see that the salvation is not going to come from them [Music]
