Shnayim Yomi - Devarim - Sh'vi'i - #7 - Rabbi Joey Haber - Place Your Trust in Hashem

Should I tell you a mistake I think a lot of us make? We at times have too much faith in an individual person. And I think Moshe who sends us that message at the end of Mosher Raen was talking about how after the Jewish people conquered and how God and those Shivatim are going to take over those portions of land and they're going to leave their children and their wives and their cattle back and then they're going to go fight with their brothers across the yard into and then Hashem says He says, "I commanded Yahushua, your eyes that saw that we were able to conquer these kings is going to allow you to conquer all of those kings." And why is this the close? I think this is the close because of what we said to begin this thought that a lot of times we think we have a lot of faith in a person. And so now as the conquering is over, the Jewish people think, "Yeah, I know we won. We won because we had Moshe Rabenu as our leader. That's why we were able to conquer what we were able to conquer. And Hashem says, "No, no, no. Yahushua can do the same thing because it's not about Moshe or Yahushua. It's about Hashem, the one who's making the conquering happen." And that's what the last puk in the parasa, it's how the parasa closed. Don't be afraid because Hashem is the one who's waging the war. So in your home, in your business, it's not one buyer, it's not a specific boss, it's not a specific donor, it's not a specific friend, it's not a house, it's not a person, a place, or a thing that generates your success or generates your power. It's Hashem that does. So Mosheu after he shows all of the greatness that he achieved, he says, "It's not me. Yeshua can do the same thing because it's not him either. It's Hashem who's the one who is going to do it all." So what you're afraid of, maybe I'm going to lose this friend. Maybe I'm going to lose this power. Maybe I'm going to lose this person, place, or thing. It has nothing to do with that. It just has to do with him. Good luck. Shabbat shalom. And may the entire see we should see and then of our Jewish people and tabs soon should be a day where the mikdash is rebuilt and should be a day of celebration very shortly. Amen.
