Bitachon 77 - Bitachon is Our National Treasure

you're listening to the 77th edition of the bhutan podcast we're continuing statements from our sages about the incredible power and importance of israel here's an amazing thing okay i don't know if we would if not for this quesad which is also in terms of leo we were reading from last time if not for this i don't know if we would think of things this way but blessed is the the makkah is a reference to hashem the place of the world god chose the jewish people from all of the 70 languages now it's talking to you directly god gave you wisdom intuition knowledge haskell is another form of what is it that hashem has chosen us for he made us smart okay very nice we're smart what is the purpose of this wisdom what is the purpose of the jewish smarts it's not just to create really good technology it's to create spiritual technology the spiritual technology is made you smart so you cannot be talking so you can have wisdom so you can have faith in him look around and see your life look around at the jewish people look at our national destiny look around and you will see if you use your wisdom your intuition your knowledge direct all of that towards be taken that's what we were chosen for amazing thing we were chosen to have wisdom so we should not be taken tana de vegelio okay another small piece from ton of the valley oh lo gilgal each of the mojos of sarah rebecca rachel and leia each of them had a merit which because of them because of their particular meet up perhaps their character trait because of something that they did the jewish people merited to be able to leave the goddess of mitzrayim what was the specifically he brings here of rifka biskarsh rivka in the merit of the fact that they said terrifica they said there do you want to go with this man it was eliezer the evidence rifko is told if you go with him you're going to marry yitzhak you'll be the great great grandmother the matriarch of the jewish people do you want to go with him she didn't know perhaps we could say she was a young child she didn't know what it really meant but she says i'm going to go. says she placed her faith in hashem she didn't know what she was in for she didn't know all the spiritual riches perhaps that she would attain by marrying into the family of avram but she did she did marry into that family she did go and because of her vitacon because of that faith that trust in hashem that this was the right thing to do all the songs all the signs are pointing in this direction therefore in that scar the jewish people in that merit hashem took us out of egypt so that's an incredible thing as well so first of all we have hashem chose us why so we could have it's a unique endowment of the jewish people that each and every one of us has the opportunity the ability to hold on to him we'll see it's not just for the jewish people but it's something for anybody even a non-jew but we'll get to that in a moment but it's certainly something which perhaps we could say a jew has more naturally second point is that rebecca rifkaimeno dybala said the one who had awesome kindness she also recognized that hashem perhaps we could say that hashem is so awesomely kind she knew that she could rely upon him and in that merit the jewish people were able to leave egypt incredible thing now we come to a third point which is from the measure we're actually gonna we're gonna have here a few midrashim from the sheikh let's see magispring's apostles hashem does not hold back good from those who go with him in a whole way tamim means in the simplest explanation of the world means a word it means a simple person a person who's autumn is a simple person but it means that i make myself simple i don't i don't make calculations i just go with hashem simply without calculations without trying to figure things out so much za avraham so this prospect that says that god does not hold back the good from those who go those is plural with him in simplicity it's a reference to abraham commanded him he said go with me go in front of me i want you to to go through the world with simplicity be whole be simple not so much calculations or if it was only speaking about avraham avenue abraham and the pastor should have said both in the first part and in the second part hashem does not hold back the good from someone of a singular person who goes with simplicity um but why does it say plural those many of those who go with god in a simple way so this teaches us an incredible thing avraham when we speak about simplicity without calculations that is a code word for right we have absolute faith in hashem don't try to figure it out i don't try to give explanations and you know i'm running into danger when i do that because i'm gonna i'm gonna end up doing things on my own simplicity with hashem and this is our national treasure italkin is the national treasure of the jewish people as we saw we get it from avraham avinu just like abram went in front of hashem with simplicity hashem became his shield hashem protected him from all dangers i've called me sha mahalak the fun of nasa so to anybody who goes with hashem with simplicity you and i when we are simple with hashem we don't make too many calculations we don't try to figure things out you heard my story i told a few weeks ago about my flight back to israel i ended up stuck in paris for 12 hours more and i was trying to figure things out i was trying to make calculations i was trying to get things to be my way hashem had a certain plan for me and when we fight the plan we we have heartache right so there's something about just going with hashem in a simple way knowing that he has our best interests in mind so when we do that when we have simplicity with hashem so the result is hashem is our shield hashem protects us and this is very nice because you know we say every day in the darwinian avraham we refer to the fact that hashem is the shield of abraham and you know the the the bracha speaks about avraham speaks about it speaks about yaakov but the ends the bracha ends with and perhaps this is the explanation of it because hashem protected abraham when we speak about the protection of avraham it's all those who go with hashem with simplicity we also can relate it talks about avraham but really it's talking about all of us we are all the children of abraham and it's like inaccurate of course we're also so it's when it says magen avraham it's really including all the of us and it's also including us it's something that we personally have an opportunity to relate to just like hashem commanded avraham abraham go with me with simplicity so to each one of us has that obligation and that opportunity and when we do we get that protection what does the plastic say after that it's the next verse this is in psalms chapter 84 verses 12 and 13. it says praiseworthy is the man the human who trusts in you avarmin khan doesn't say praiseworthy is abraham who trusted in you it doesn't say that ella adam call it says praiseworthy is the human the the son of man adam represents the entire human race any person man woman child jew non-jew anybody can trust in hashem and when we trust in hashem he is our mugging he protects us it's a powerful thing we can all connect to it it's our national treasure and anybody can access this treasure okay so that's the beautiful third point now let's read another point penang our oivi this david says lest my enemies say i was able to vanquish i don't want my enemy to be able to say that he vanquished me says king david god says to king david why are you asking me so much of me why are you asking so much of me says hashem um david says look i i know i can ask so much of you so the reason i feel i can ask you that my enemy shouldn't trounce me shouldn't win shouldn't succeed against me is because i trust in you as the next pussac says chapter 13 verse 6 i trusted in you i trusted in your kindness in that very kindness that the verse says about you in psalms chapter 119 verse 64. your kindness fills the earth your kindness is so plentiful look around the beautiful trees look around at the awesome skies look around at your kindness which fills the earth all the creatures of the earth all the humans all the animals all the bugs all of the microorganisms the fish your kindness is everywhere and if your kindness is everywhere if i saw that my feet are faltering that i'm falling that my enemies look like they might have power over me that they might succeed against me if i'm seeing that but your kindness is everywhere your kindness will support me so i don't have to be worried such king david that i'm asking too much asking for you to be kind to me asking you to protect me i don't have to be worried about that i have to be worried that it's too much to ask of you hashem your kindness fills the entire creation 13.8 billion light years across your kindness is everywhere your kindness is awesome all of those stars were created so that i could exist i can ask for kindness any time i can ask for hashem to save me from any enemy that's what king david says king david says it we know he was the soul of the jewish people he was the shema the same soul as meshiach which includes all of the souls so king david there's a reason that we have the psalms there's a reason that the jewish people have the treasure of the psalm speaking of treasures we have this treasure because king david said it king david was the soul who encompassed all of the souls and if he said these prayers these prayers apply to us if he says i trusted in you hashem i trust in your kindness we can all say i trust in your kindness hashem it's something that shakes each and every one of us vitacon is something that's what he's teaching us here king david is teaching us teaching us khazal are teaching us it's our national treasure belongs to all of us you can all access pitaken anytime anywhere you name it hashem's kindness fills the entire world let's read one more section here i'm not sure actually i should say i'm not sure if i share this with you but i definitely heard it numerous times from arashashiva because he read in a particular safer that his son found this message that we're about to read and when the chavez khaim heard this message from his son he was so excited about the awesome implications of this major of what it means to be taken in hashem what it means you know we think who are we that'd be talking hashem who am i it's probably abraham he was one of the greatest men who ever lived king david awesome people sadikim naveem they were prophets me i'm just a regular guy listen to this mattress king david says my god i trusted in you i won't be embarrassed let my enemies not rejoice over there vanquishing me says the measures like this there's a story in a particular city there was one person who was very famous yeah he was well known throughout the country there was another person there that's called the famous person rooving and there was another person his name was shimon why is now the policemen of the town the policemen of not the town the policemen of the country were passing through when they found a particular person who was staying at an inn he was staying he was visiting a location he was staying at a hotel they grabbed him said don't strike me i'm i'm a member of the king's home i think here it's referring to the king the the famous man the the popular man whose name was known throughout the country i'm connected to him you know that famous guy that famous guy i'm i'm part of his household don't strike me came into chamocane when the officers heard this they let him go they didn't they didn't want to hurt him anymore and they put him in an incarceration until the morning but have you eaten in the morning they went in front of the king came in front of this person the famous person and they said they said we found one of your household members last yesterday he was involved in some crime king says king looks at him he doesn't doesn't recognize him he says my dear son do you do you know me love man says you know i have to admit the truth i don't know you. basically so what do you mean why did you tell them that you're a member of my household why did you say that what do you mean says this man he says please i beg of you any ben basra i am not a member of your household your mother marty kane are you making but i trusted you i put my faith in you i knew that if i would mention your name they would stop hitting me please i beg you don't let them continue to strike me i trusted in you i put my faith in you um [Music] so this famous man this king says he says i trusted in you and that's why my enemies shouldn't be able to strike me it's not because i'm the biggest saddik says king david it's not because i'm so righteous it's not because i'm perfect i have my faults it's not because you know i belong in your house i wish i did save me god because because i trusted in him because i said that i said i knew i could trust in you not only i says king david ella the next plastic there possible says the third passage there king david tells us [Music] let all those who hope to you says king david not only should i be saved in the merit of my trust in you anybody who trusts in you king david prays god please let it be that anyone who trusts in you let them let them succeed let them not be vanquished by their enemies let those who rebel against you let them that they i don't know how to say let them or they let them be embarrassed let them be embarrassed those who who are those who defy your will hashem but those who trust in you those who trust in you even if we're not perfect hashem but you know let them let their prayers be answered let their feelings let their prayers let there be talking let it be answered just as mom you're talking vitamins answers answered says king david it's a powerful lesson this is our treasure our national treasure this is why we were chosen to be with hashem to use our wisdom to trust in him be like abraham of abraham trust in hashem will be your shield anybody can hold on to him anybody cannot be talking to hashem anybody hashem's kindness is available everywhere everywhere in the world we can we can keep asking for kindness and we can trust just like king david king david's prayer we can know that his prayer will be answered for us all we need to do is trust thanks so much for listening we'll see you again next time
