Bitachon 123 - Following King David's Lead

you're listening to the 123rd edition of other we talking podcast we continue in sooking from last week we read chapter 25 verse 2 of tahillim and now we're going to read the next possuk IMO verse three last week we spoke about how daughter Mello says I trusted in you Hashem please let my enemies not rejoice so now besides we're speaking about himself besides for speaking about his own request to Hashem his trust should not be in vain he says not only Hashem please listen to me but whoever trusts in you whoever places their hope in you we'll see there's a difference between Hebrew between Tikvah and be talking we'll see what the difference is but however the person trusts asks asks King David says please but do not be embarrassed foreign the king of the Jewish people or defy Hashem let them be left empty-handed let them be embarrassed the magic Shaker type says this is what Hashem says in front of Hashem sorry this is what David says in front of Hashem and I'm praying I'm asking you for things I'm trusting you let my prayer not be not be disgusting to you is be in Italian there's something very interesting okay Governor Malik is the king of the Jewish people he's the leader of the Jewish people the spiritual leader of the Jewish people right we have saved him from him amazing beautiful words of prayer he was constantly involved in prayer he was constantly going through difficulties in his life and he was praying but he is the person that we look to King David is the person that we look to and we hope that our prayers will be answered because his prayers will be answered let's see what this means Domino milk is saying look closer is looking to me to see what's going to happen with me if you answer my prayer it will give hope to all of them in tishma's philosophyllosum when you hear my prayer it's as if you heard their prayer we find a similar thing when it comes to Italian when it comes to a public fast Shabbos when the when the deceiver where the congregation is fasting so you have someone goes in front of the sea where the leader of the prayers name boy and we mentioned this also only in keeper Dover that all of the seabor the congregation is looking to their leader to pray successfully to bring about the acceptance of their prayers foreign they're all looking to him that he should be successful in his prayer and he is looking to heaven and he's saying Hashem answer my prayers there are they're all depending on me as soon please answer my prayers the Gangnam race says when you're answering my prayers you are in turn really answering the prayers of my people or perhaps we could say when you answer my prayers King David says the one who leads the prayers on him keep her on a fast day Etc we're saying if you answer my prayers in essence you're answering them they know that if you can answer me they will also be answered I'd like to read to you there are two notes Here on the bottom the intention here is it's pointing out the measures pointing out that in the first possuk so David talks about himself I trusted in you then he's talking in singular the simulation and he switches to a plural language saying that whoever trusts in you in the first person he says let me not be embarrassed it's more direct the simulation and he finishes off saying let them not in third person so that's why the Avengers finishes off and says that my prayers should be answered because they're really a tree you're a Twila they're a prayer of the public when you have a Prayer by many people it's a much more powerful prayer than a single person's prayer that's why we have a concept that we've done with a minion done with a quorum of 10 men because the prayers that we that we supplicate that we offer Hashem that we ask of Hashem are not the same when we pray about ourselves is when we pray amongst many people Hashem as it were as a harder time saying no to a group of people who are asking for something as opposed to an individual that's also why it's so important holidays coming up not so long away just over a month it's so important to pray with sibur and part of the idea is that we hope and we pray we say this in the actual prayer itself that any faults that we have as individuals should be nullified Hashem should just you know we make up for each other we we you know we serve I have something positive and it sublimates the negative thing of somebody else or I don't know sublimate is the right word that has to do with the mind but it it pushes down it limits the problems with somebody else and and any problems that I have will be compensated for that's the word I'm really looking for they will be compensated for by the positives of other people around me it was very important to pray with a minion so Governor milk is saying accept my prayer let it be as powerful as the prayer of the many that's the first one the second note says something very interesting and we've spoken about this actually a bunch of times over the last few weeks it's called mitaken it's called when we trust in the King right let's say I go to assadic I ask somebody to pray on my behalf somebody who is known at their prayers are powerful and for his work what's the idea so he says here that David America is saying people look to me to have their prayers answered there are people whose prayers are more powerful why because they're righteous because they've gone through challenges and difficulties because they have a deeper relationship with Hashem sometimes of course anyone can pray even a wicked person who trusts in Hashem every talking can work but and as we've seen over the years together studying there is something about somebody who has a special unique relationship with Hashem as far as their prayers their prayers are answered he says he speaks about this at length in his favorite sir about the power of trusting inatsadiq in a righteous person to pray for us I'm going to quote a little bit of what he says Hashem specifically commands us and guides us to depends on certain things in the world Hashem and Hashem himself as it were has commanded this is what he wants that through doing these types of things we come close to him their their means to bring ourselves closer to Hashem they help us very much in our service this is the correct way David specifically through a Prophet by the times of the prophets which hopefully soon will have Province again prophecy is supposed to return with the Advent of the Messianic age we find that when it comes to a prophet Hashem specifically says we need to listen to The Prophet because whatever you ask follow what the prophet says he has a team in Deuteronomy chapter 5 verse 25 when you ask a prophet for advice they are being guided with their words so we need to listen to them and that's true today we have great Taurus Scholars righteous individuals who have the ability to or who naturally are guided because of their relationship with Hashem to to help us to understand what is hashem's world not every single individual can hear what is the division wants from me as it were or literally here are some we speak is we are to depend upon the words of somebody who does have the ability to hear directly the word of Hashem the navi the prophet Navi and specifically in this way whatever the navi says whatever the prophet says we know we're going to come close to Hashem through that is so just like we speak about having been talking trusting in a shell there's also such a thing as having been talking that the word of the navi is correct it's true and that's that's the advice that should be followed it's the word of Hashem is work and this is one of the ways that we can find hashem's will that we can reach the will of Hashem there are things that we can depend on that we can rely upon because this is one of hashem's kindnesses that he gives us this type of thing Navi where the two men other things that are like this is it says the special stones that would light up but we also have today other things we have intellect Torah intellect we have the Torah itself those who have doctor those who have completely immersed themselves for their entire lives in the entirely they understand the will of Hashem um we can depend on these things we can't be talking that if we go to at Sadiq and Sally tells us something that that's the thing that we are to do is through them a person can come close to the Shem in an easier manner okay so this is very powerful idea Dominic in a certain sense is saying as as is being explained here that Hashem grant me grant me help because people are trusting in me people are trusting in my prayer people are trusting in my guidance shall please let them all be answered or let me be answered so that it's clear when we trust in Hashem or we trust in his trust and servants it works that's the prayer of it says those who am praying on behalf of let them not be embarrassed to be separate from that which they request the story with the training he put He put himself in a circle it hadn't rained in many many months it's time for the rain he stood in a circle and he said a prayer he said these types of words he stood inside of the circle and he said Hashem I'm not going to get out of this circle until Hashem you send the rain is it Sadiq he was a righteous individual and he knew that everyone was depending on him or his prayer he was saying look I'm the person I'm the kind of person that when I pray when I come to you and I ask you for something you answer my prayer so he's saying Hashem I swear I'm not going to get out of this circle he said until you answer my request for rain what was he saying this the I was just saying a similar idea that he was saying this where everyone is depending on me Hashem and I'm somebody who you always answer so please answer me now it's Ronald and the marathons the many people who are asking for help answer me now in my own schools because he always answer me show me show them that you answer those who have been talking to you who trust in you all right let's read two more little pieces one of those a little bigger here's the foreign means that I trust with you I trust in you absolutely that's a high level to have absolute a completely absolutely positive that what I'm asking of Hashem will happen that's one type of trust is saying not only me eyes trust in you like last week I trusted in you would be talking absolute confidence this person is saying is a different thing is absolute confidence is someone who doesn't have that full full all the way I'm so sure I'm gonna give me what I want might be because they're involved in the physical reality they're involved in their physical needs um but they're hoping to you they're hoping right means there is hope I hope that it's gonna work out I I I really hope that someone's going to give me my needs it's going to save me from my problems even these that do not be embarrassed they hope to you they hoped they they they they wished they don't feel confident but they wished that you would save them and help them please even though please even them answer them who should not have what they want says Those Who rebel against you those who rebell those who are don't have anybody talking on him those who don't trust you at all those who don't even know that you're gonna help them let them be embarrassed but let those who trust in you or hope to you hope that you're going to help them let that be enough that's not what America's asking really beautiful all right let's have one more piece here it's from the sharikai they must be talking murder and viola very interesting the difference between me talking and kivui mitaku means that I I have a claim as it were to Hashem what does it means I know that Hashem already promised me that he would say to me talks about himself with a promise he knows that Hashem has promised him he says Hashem but what does hope mean it means I say like this I never heard shun make a promise to me red butt I think in my heart that I've done I've done what I'm supposed to do I've gone in the ways of Hashem I threw my package upon him I threw my troubles upon him I you know I'm doing that which I believe is correct foreign did not specifically promise me it is going to give me what I request what I need Etc but I've done things right I've followed the path of be talking I followed the path of that's prescribed for me to to expect or to Hope Hashem will give me my request foreign King David himself had absolute confidence you will be the king and it will be you'll Reign forever the The Throne will be yours your children your great great grandchildren all the way down forever so now even if King David was saved by Hashem they would say look it's not because he deserves it is just because Hashem promised him so he kept his promise it was it was from hashem's side but we see all the time says the Sharif name Hashem helps a person who never actually spoke face to face whenever hashem's voice should call Shelf with their Quran look when you help the person who trusts in you who follows in your path does what's right Hashem when you give the person who does what's right success so what's the result anybody who went in the path of evil with the financial they become embarrassed okay well they thought they were going to do it their way and get success get whatever they want but look that Sadiq who did what's right they succeeded this is the first plastic of last week he says Hashem I trust in a new um let me not be embarrassed with rock ayali so what do I get before we might be talking the first aspect which is you made a promise so they won't you know they won't make fun meaning they they they're gonna see that that's true they will not make fun of me because they didn't get back at me they didn't win over me foreign but if even all those who trust in you even them you come and you help me she's like oh you love me if those who trust in you who hope to you they don't have that full flesh me talking what they have they they believe that you're the main ingredient of their success which is that those who defy you the wicked those who who run after they have to try to grab it they don't trust in Hashem at all they will be embarrassed here my name is asking for the kirish Hashem which results when Hashem shows that those who do what's right ultimately succeed in life thank you so much for listening see you next time
