The Sins Caused the Problem (Bitachon#10)

[Music] a person that is worried is going to bring a lot of problems to themsel and other people because that worry itself is literally a sin and the prophet Isaiah says in chapter 30: 15 says with security and Trust will be your might meaning that the fact that you have you have confidence in hem that's what's going to give you strength to win the war it's not the weapon it's not the Iron Dome it's not how many planes you have it's not many bombs you have no no no you have faith in hem that Hashem will take care of you that's enough in reality that's the only thing that can protect you and David writes in t 1186 Hashem is with me therefore I have no fear of what man may do to me since I feel Hashem is with me therefore I do not fear and therefore no man can harm me at all so in our we say this every day and it's very very easy to get so used to our uh prayer that we really don't ever delve into the meaning of the words after we read number 25 I believe and skim both read it I think so no don't read after no actually no you don't so the uh read after uh after me how we read number 25 and it's a very famous that so says that my soul is being lifted to my God because I trusted him what did he trust him in that he's not g to let me be embarrassed and he won't let my enemies Rejoice over me here in the first verse of this it's in essence the worry that every human being has we don't necessarily fear loss because of ourselves all the time we fear loss because of what other people think of us losing money is bad enough Lo losing status is much worse I remember one woman told me listen we have the Foreclosure happening they had a foreclosure M foreclosure happening scheduled for a certain date and they were trying to get the money together but there was a high likelihood they're not going to get the money together in the end ended up getting the money together but she told me this something that I'm thinking about it right now and it really fits she says to me she says listen the money the the the the house I lose I lose it's it's from hasem what can I do it wants to take it take it I love the house lived in the house for me you know so many years I don't want to lose the house but if it goes what could I do oh so I'm thinking wow what's woman is go yeah but here's the thing what I can't handle is all the neighbors are going to see the sheriff come to the house and lock the door that I can't handle that I rather die she tells me the neighbors seeing the sheriff lock the door put one of those tapes on do not enter one of the caution or whatever it says auction taking place in front of the house she says for that I'd rather die all the neighbors that don't like me all the neighbors that this all the neighbors all this all that a person thinks about the embarrassment that's that happens to them as a result of loss as a result of divorce as a result of things like that it's unbearable and that's actually leads a lot of people to commit suicide and do a lot of stupid things because they're literally more petrified of the shame than the are of the actual loss this actually means that they have a different problem aside from having a problem of money or whatever the issue is they also have a problem with kavod pride and pride the ramban says in his letter and getan is the worst mid you can possibly have unfortunately many of us suffer from it because we think that we're something special because we're smart or we're good-look or we're rich or this or whatever for some reason all of us justify some reason that we should be proud of so even David says that I have trust in hem that he's not going to let my enemies Rejoice over me that's what I trust even that was called himself he's a worm but not a man he said I trust that hasm is not going to get me to such a point I trusted him he's not going to get to such a point that my enemies are going to Rejoice over me but he says we hope we hope all of us hope in you that we should not be embarrassed that we should not be uh uh ashamed that we should not be uh mistreated uh teach us your ways inform me your ways lead me into your uh Truth uh Lead Me In Your Truth for you are the god of my salvation for you I I thought about you all day all day I'm hoping about thinking about you hem please remember your mercies AEM your kindness the Eternal kindness that you have and my sins but my sins that I did in my past don't remember those don't don't hold those things again me against me because if you do no one can no one can stand withstand these things so here we see that David himself is concerned about all this but then later on the same he says he says see my Affliction my toil meaning see all the horrible things that actually ended up happening to me meaning all the things he was worried about in the beginning he's not going to be embarrassed of all you know front of his enemies and so on look at all those horrible things that are actually happening to me and if you compare it to my sins why am I getting made one sin and all this horrible things are happening to me and he says but what's the difference between us and please AEM you protected my soul until now despite all this bad stuff happening to me don't let me be ashamed because I take refuge in you meaning even though I was afraid of bad things to happen and they ended up happening I'm still going to you because you're the only thing that I have why because the only thing that preserved me was my innocence my honesty I knew where I was wrong I knew where I was right I knew what's I was connected to to you from the beginning and in you is what I had my hope in so please redeem isem from all of its troubles and hem will redeem from all of its sins so here we see that even though some of the things thatav worried about actually ended up happening he knew he knew that he caused it himself Hashem is right so that's why I still go back to you and that's why in the end he says please AEM redeem from all of its troubles and you redeem from the sins why because the sins cause the troubles the sins cause the troubles oh [Music]
