you're listening to the 142nd edition of
the
podcast and we will continue right now
in chapter 33 verses 21 and 22 of tahim
of
Psalms and we have tsim back to back
that speak
about speak about our faith
inem the first pk speaks in third person
and says in him in God will our heart
Rejoice for we have trusted in His holy
name when we trust in hashem's holy name
we are guaranteed that we'll have great
simp we have great
joy in the
following we say to hem directly first
person Hashem let your kindness be upon
us cuz and let let it be upon
us now the word we'll see can be
understood in a few different ways
but let your kindness be upon us perhaps
because of the fact that we have trusted
you or in accordance with how much we
have trusted
you in any event we ask Hashem to to be
kind to us because we have trusted and
what is the result of that trust the
result as we saw in the first pic is
great joy now let's see together some of
what the maam
say thead
says when hem saves us from
negative
realities our heart will rejoice as we
saw
previously when we recognize when we
realize Hashem is with us that hasm is
helping us that Hashem is saving us
so the resulting recognition of hasem
occurs the thanks that we have for God
for his
kindness is very great causes great
joy exactly what the means I'm not
precisely sure but I'll give it a
shot once we
recognize that the ation came from
Hashem so it causes us joy and why does
this come in the first place it's
because we trusted in hashem's name to
begin with and now there's two possible
ways to understand what the Rak is
saying one is that by trusting in Hashem
the result is that we receive our
salvation and that we therefore Rejoice
that's one one way of understanding it
another way of understanding it it is
that because we are trusting in hem we
are looking out for the fact we are
searching for we are bound to
recognize that he's the one who's doing
it and that causes great joy meaning
Hashem is doing it anyway in this second
understanding Hashem is going to take
care of us hm is going to save us the
question is do we notice it do we see it
so if we're trusting
in we will
rejoice we will rejoice because we have
trusted in you Hashem we will rejoice
because we're looking for your hand
we're looking for the fact that you are
are taking care of us and we believe
that you are and we know that you are
and you
are and we see it more because we think
about it this
way brings
here say what is the idea
here when we attach ourselves to
hem will remove all our
distractions all of our
troubles I'm
sorry and our intellect
our spiritual side will rejoice because
we get what we need we get what we want
we get our desires and we get to serve
Hashem we're in a relationship with God
what could be more joyful than
that and we will
attain this
Perfection will attain this Perfection
the the Schamus the Perfection that
we're speaking about here is the joy the
joy of of completeness better than the
word Perfection we will attain this
completeness because we trusted in God's
holy
name which is the the holy name of
Hashem is the name
Y which represents the
essence the or the the greatest thing
that we can possibly understand as we
try to understand God as we try to
relate to God Hashem is God was he is he
will be he's Beyond time but he is
within
time which really means and it's the
name of Rah is the name of God's mercy
so it really means that God is in our
lives God is outside of time he's Beyond
time he's transcended but at the same
time
he's inside of the of the reality that
we inhabit God is here with us God is
taking care of us and so when we
recognize that that when we have a
relationship with Hashem we recognize
that he's merciful god and he's here
beside us that's incredible Joy that's
that's unbelievable everything is
complete we have everything we
need cuz Hashem is at our
side
says when we
Merit that we
rejoice
our heart
rejoices I'm
sorry if we're on the level so we will
rejoice our heart will rejoice as well
what does the heart refer
to the heart is our emotions the heart
is our feelings the heart represents our
our nature our our Humanity our our
humanness when we are on the level when
we are trusting Hashem when we are
relating to
Hashem so the result
is that even the physical aspect of
ourselves
rejoices rejoices in that
relationship where does that Joy come
from it comes from an abundance of
Faith because we trusted in
hem
says
the the good that Hashem will provide
for us won't just
be that we won't have problems or that
hasm will take away our problems will
remove our enemies it's just it's not
just going to be a a removal of the
negative things in our
lives but rather as the next says which
we'll study as
well the we ask Hashem that his kindness
should be with us as we
wanted right what does a human being
want not just that he shouldn't have any
troubles not that just that the
challenges that he faces should go away
we want to thrive we want to prosper we
want to have everything good we want to
experience Hashem in our lives we want
to experience Prosperity we want to we
want everything good for our kids they
should succeed in life
not just that the troubles that we have
should should be
removed challenges that we Face should
be
limited no we want more than that that's
what a human being wants
so let your kindness be with us as we
hoped to you as we really want it to be
that's the
AL the
says
says in Hashem will our heart
Rejoice because this level of there are
different levels of Divine Providence as
we spoke about in previous
weeks this level that we're speaking
about is where we experience a direct
divine intervention we we experience
we we know it's Hashem doing it we see
it we feel
it so that kind of
experience when it's not only you have
to figure out it's not something that
comes through another person it's
clearly direct Hashem is in my life he's
taking care of
me that type ofh that type of Divine
Providence that type of experience of
the human being there's nothing that
causes a person to Rejoice more than
that says
91:14 I will experience an incredibly
prosperous
moment prosperous
experience CU because Hashem knows my
name meaning when I see when I feel
Hashem is in my life is taking care of
meem is doing for me
directly
wow that's that's just
awesome and how does it
come it comes because we trust in
hashem's
name why does Hashem give us open Divine
Providence divine intervention in our
lives how do we see it as we've been
speaking about it comes because we're
looking for it it comes because we're
trusting in Him it comes because we're
trying to live a life in conance with
his will all these things lead to the
most incredible Joy experience of
godliness in our
lives here he
brings
when we have a chance to do a Mitzvah we
have a chance to fulfill one of God's
Commandments it should fill us with so
much
joy it should just we should just be
floating we're guaranteed says
the we're guaranteed that if we we
fulfill hm's will and we make a
blessing you Sanctified us with your
commandment and you commanded us to do
this
commandment here we are we're doing it
right
now we're commanded to involve ourselves
in words of
Torah Hashem promises wherever you do
this wherever you bless him wherever you
act in accordance with his will God's
bless blessings will come into your life
wherever hashem's name is mentioned I
will come and I will bless you God
says right now we're standing in front
of God and we are doing God's
will let's say a person would be chosen
to be an important person in in the
government under a king the king
instructs him to take certain actions on
behalf of the
Kingdom what an honor I'm I'm able to do
that for the kingdom
wow and the King sees his work sees his
accomplishment and the God and and the
King says right it's a mush for hasem
and the King says
very good work unbelievable you have
done such a great service for our
country how much joy would a person have
he would feel So Satisfied you feel so
so
good certainly in this
matter think about it who are we
standing in front of right now as we say
a word of Torah as we try to fulfill
hashem's mitzvah his Commandments who
are we standing in front of who are we
serving we need to contemplate we're
standing in front of the god of the
heavens and the
Earth he's the master of all the the
legions the Heavenly hosts the Angels
Above and all of the creatures and all
of all of
Life he's the master of
everything so first of all contemplate
the opportunity that I have for a
Mitzvah the opportunity that you have
for a Mitzvah further contemplate who am
I serving I'm serving the creator of the
world but not only
that this
Creator this this awesome
being is the one who cares about us he's
the one who created this world for us
he's the one who takes care of each and
every one of us in this
world all of my joy and happiness in
this world all my success in this world
and in the next World depends on hm's
help depends on
God's
assistance so this type of thought this
type of
contemplation causes a person to
Rejoice that's what the P says our heart
will rejoice
in because we have trusted in Hashem so
the the that we have is is like a it's a
it's a source of contemplation it's it's
a moment of
inspiration we're having and we're we're
thinking we're contemplating we're in a
relationship with the creator of the
world we're serving the creator of the
world we're
striving to understand his
will
beautiful now the Mal
says and him
will we
Rejoice it's specifically in him that we
Rejoice it's only in God that we can
really
rejoice when we're looking for somebody
to help
us you can't compare it to the news that
you get that that person is going to
help
you when a person hopes that a person
another person will help
them and that person does not come
through
immediately become
sad because when there's another human
being I don't know for sure that that
person will help me I don't know for
sure that person can help
me maybe that person won't be able to in
the end or maybe the person won't want
to change his
mind but if our trust in if our trust is
in so then we can have incredible
Joy even though we didn't get
immediately that which we
desire because when we trust
in an absolute
confidence
will certainly save us His holy name is
called upon
us we're we're his people we're his
Nation his holy nation we fulfill his
Mitzvah we fulfill his
Commandments certainly he will take care
of
us says in 14:9 it says your name is
called upon us don't let us down don't
drop
us so we have a
guarantee we know Hashem placed his name
on us we know that whoever has God's
name upon him he guaranteed it's going
to be good for him so that's a source
once again that trust the type of
contemplation the type of recognition is
a source for tremendous Joy
finally here on this p and we'll
continue next week with the p the
second the last idea on this P about
rejoicing in our trust
in he says like
this we could explain based on that that
which it says say
for
when he talks about incredible
advantages of
having somebody who trusts in
hem merits to have the mid a character
trait of
kindness meaning they Merit to have
hashem's kindness manifest upon
them like the verse says which we
studied together
someone who trust inem is surrounded by
kindness why does this
occur why does this happen why does a
person Merit to have God's
kindness It's because the person
believed in God's Great Name we say over
here the result of is a life of Joy no
worries I don't have to worry about
anything I can always be
happy see over
there 12th chapter he speaks about it at
length this is the understanding of the
verse this verse our verse that we will
rejoice in hasem our heart will
rejoice right the art is the place of
emotion is the place of naturally
feeling worry of feeling
sad no sad no sadness no no worry
why because we place our trust in hem in
hm's
name the result of our trust in hem is
that we merits to have incredible Joy
thank you so much for listening we'll
see you again next time
