Bitachon 90 - King David's Promise
580 views
We continue with verses from Tehillim (Psalms) that talk of Bitachon. Hashem is trusted by those from the farthest ends of the Earth and the distant seas. Hashem is the One who we have trusted since the innocence of youth. When we look for Hashem's kindnesses, we see them more, and they come more. Dovid Hamelech assures us, on Hashem's behalf, as it were, that if we trust in Hashem, we will not be disappointed.

you're listening to the 90th edition of
the be talking podcast
and we continue in soaking from King
David
awesome things
with righteousness you shall answer
usaino
the god of our salvation
you are the one
who is trusted by all of those from the
ends of the Earth
to the distant Seas
foreign
you are the one who people escape to
right person feels challenged feels like
they're in a difficult situation they
need somewhere to go right actually we
run to our parents and we're children
we run to our friends when we're a
little bit older
but who do we go to where do we run to
Hashem is the monois he's the one who to
whom we run
all of those and on the ends of the
Earth
wherever they are
from one end to the other Kim
says
even those who are very distant
on the Seas and this could mean two
possible things it could either mean
those who are in ships on the sea and
that's more obvious
why they need help
they trust
you are the one who they trust because
your power is everywhere right but it
could also mean
the those who live on the islands in the
sea if we think if we think about those
who live in the islands in the sea so
they're much more caught up cut off
from all of humanity right naturally
when you live in a country that people
around if you can't during shemitah
let's say it's hard to get fruit it's
hard to get vegetables whatever it is
you can get it from a neighboring
country you can bring it in from
somewhere else
right but if you live on an island and
you have trouble of some sort it's much
harder to find help
naturally where did the island dwellers
turn they turn Tasha
mutsura stuff it says
you are the one who is trusted by all
those who dwell
Forest reaches of the Earth
and on the distant oceans
the bottom line of the plastic the
bottom line is the teaching of King
David is that
where do people turn there are no
atheists and foxholes where do people
naturally turn
people naturally turn to Hashem they
turn to God because where else can we
turn to right that's the it's a natural
human instinct
to depend on Hashem
and I think that that's him to do in the
next possibly that's brought here
which is in Psalms chapter 71 verse
You Are My Hope Hashem my God
you're the one who I trusted for my
youth
key this is the the immunizer
I have no other hope besides for you
Hashem
in the same way I always
hoped to you I always had a sense inside
that if there's someone who's going to
take care of me the Sun is going to save
me it's going to be you
know right that's what it means in the
position is saying I trusted in you from
my youth from my from the youngest days
and you can see this in children there's
a natural sense of trust perhaps it's
because they they know everything is
taken care of by their parents so when
their parents speak about it Hashem
takes care of us you know we we
naturally interact with God the way that
we interact with our parents our
relationship with our with our parents
is often an example of how we feel
towards Hashem
but a child is completely held within
the arms of their parents so to speak so
naturally they trust and Hashem easier
time having
right
she was saying that even now I trust in
you with childlike innocence I still
trust in you the way that I trusted me
when I was a child
which is an incredible thing
but even more than that I would say it
means that you have been my mif talk
right it doesn't say
it says which would mean I trusted in
you since I was young it says you're the
one who
I came to trust or the one who uh
fulfilled my trust from a young age
was saying that I have I have an
experience of Hashem my experience of
Hashem is that I trust in him and he
responds in kind
right so one of the things that I
mentioned previously is also recently
shared with me that this was an
important point that was taken out of
the Italian podcasts and that is that
when you're looking
that hashem's hand is in your life when
you're looking for it you're going to
see it much more and ask permission from
the person who joined the the be talking
group to share just a little snippet of
of his experience is there an issue in
his business one of his clients
was no longer going to be his main
client was no longer going to be working
with him
he was worried and he was up at night
and
finally understood as we mentioned last
week he understood
that
I don't have to try so hard
I have to put in efforts I'm holding by
doing a studless but I don't have to try
so hard I have to make every effort
and it came that there was a contact
somebody contacted him saying another
client I need I need stuff but not yet
not yet maybe in two weeks
ordinarily would have been worried
what's going to be how am I going to get
the money
but he just said I'm gonna be talking
and he doesn't and each of the times
that he died
something something switched you got any
you got a message from the person the
very same moments he didn't he checked
afterwards we got a message saying let's
speak on Friday the person had said in
two weeks from now Friday is much closer
okay whatever Hashem wants
ultimately the person made a I'm sorry
he said let's speak on Sunday and it was
on Friday that the person made the order
without even Consulting with him the
money came the order came in
there's a certain sense
that the more you look for it the more
you see it Hashem is doing kindness with
us all the time
it's not clear to me what happens
exactly when I look for it does that
mean that I get more kindness or or is
it I realize there was so much kindness
in my life to begin with I'm not sure I
think it's both
I think it's both when I align myself
with Hashem I'm looking for hashem's
kindness is when I'm acknowledging
hashem's kindnesses so they come more
often you know
okay then the public says this is in
chapter 78 verse 22. and speaking about
the Jewish people in their time in the
wilderness 40 years going from it's rain
from Egypt to the land of Israel
incredible Miracles happening for them
every day the man of the miraculous man
that would fall from Heaven
although their knees were taken care of
they were protected in an incredible way
nevertheless
even though they saw these constant
miracles
even though they could see it all the
time right so like why didn't they
believe why didn't they believe
salvation
says some
they you know it's funny because
ordinarily and let's say you're getting
something every single day you come to
feel a certain entitlement right so and
and you also don't think it's gonna stop
but interestingly they felt what about
maybe they believe that Hashem would
provide them as we all perhaps do with
their basic necessities but who says
that Hashem is going to give me all of
my desires right
how do I know that Hashem can fulfill
all of my desires or will fulfill all of
my desires
I don't know if they questioned hashem's
ability right Hashem could do anything
Hashem is the creator of the universe
he created the universe 13.8 billion
light years across right so this
Incredible Universe he created it all
everything is his like he could do it
who says he will do it maybe I don't
deserve it
without testing him
right so
this comes to an important point this
brings us to an important point which is
sometimes I trust I trust Hashem and it
doesn't work out that way it doesn't
work out the way I wanted it to work out
right so
why am why am I trying them why am I
having me talking it's not working right
it's easy for a person to say that
that's really a fundamental mistake
because the myths will be talking as
we've spoken about also previously but
comes up here
talking is
to trust in him and it's going to be
good
does Hashem have to fulfill my guitar
have to give me my wish
no he does not have to God is my parent
a good parent knows when to say no he
knows what's really good for us he knows
what's best for us
Willie a lot of times with the proper be
talking
cause that the thing that we seek that
we want should work out well for us yes
he can do that and he does do that
but she also says no and he reserves
that right
they were allowed to test Hashem
but generally speaking we're not
supposed to really test Hashem the
Jewish people in the mid bar made a
mistake of testing Hashem
10 times
now the mountain says what was it that
they didn't trust in Hashem and I think
he's really addressing the point of they
had everything they had all of their
needs so what exactly did they not trust
Hashem
why didn't they have be talking or was
there where was there what was their
concern
Ed
they thought
right it's very interesting because we
could make this mistake we could think
look
Hashem is limited
you can't really do everything look I
asked them for certain thing no I didn't
give it to me he can't
a person can make that mistake
okay
what about when it comes to getting into
the land of Israel
right this is a mistake that we all make
this is a mistake I've mentioned
you ask a person why why do they live in
hutzlars why do they live outside of
Israel they'll say well parnasso you
know
right as if there's no challenge in
Coachella Arts there's no challenge in
Parana so as if there's no challenge of
raising your kids in coach Lawrence
different kind of challenge actually I
my opinion is much harder
it's Australia is much less cashmere
much less
officiality
not to say there's none they're still
human beings
but okay Sean can provide me for what I
need here but can he provide me for what
I need in Israel can I inherit the land
they were concerned we're going to come
to Israel and we're not going to succeed
there the Spies made that claim the
people there are too powerful they're
too
aggressive how are we going to make it
right the inhabitants of Israel are
are tough they're sabras
they're they have a rough exterior
okay maybe they have a soft interior but
until we get to that you know I'm saying
it takes time
a true a true babita person has true
confidence
it doesn't matter where you are it could
be the like we saw before the ends of
the Earth
far the Seas
doesn't matter where you are the sport
who is everywhere Hashem is power
everywhere there's no limit to his power
Hashem can take care of us in the
midboard in the wilderness he can take
care of us in America and Europe South
Africa and Australia and Japan in China
you can take care of us certainly in
arts Israel the place where
Hashem has special we have special
Divine assistance
foreign
Lord of hosts
praiseworthy is the one who trusts in
you
says
praiseworthy is somebody who trusts you
and doesn't give up hope
because of the length of the exile
we've been in the Exile
1953 years that's a long time
is still going to come
come on
I didn't come by now
you know what I'm saying
is
the person who has the true
this is speaking 3 300 years ago
but he's speaking to us today
and telling us don't be afraid you're so
close
you're so close don't give up hope
less
King David himself he knew he wasn't
going to build the base of miktas right
his son King Solomon was going to
ultimately build the base of mcdosh
but
he says hold on hold on be something
that she will be built
don't despair
is going to take us out of the the Exile
you will rebuild your temple
today
and you'll bring it to that place
that the souls all desire
right all the souls are Desiring and and
they have such
Soul desires that place
the place of the root and the source of
all our spirituality
this is
actually related to the uh the pasig
before the previous which says
not hold back good from those who go
with him
with simplicity with wholeness
exercise
a person who goes you know hey you go
simply with God you don't put let's say
a person let's say a person takes the
star he says you know what I'm not going
to do a status anymore I'm going to be
like the alphysics the the guy in the
back of the whole
Donkey driver I'm going to sit in the
back I'm gonna just sit down and learn
and read to him all day I'm gonna just
learn listen to The Altar and the
verdict I'm not going to put in an insta
guy takes it really to Heart
takes it all away
so I don't know you're not gonna any
ishtadas at all you know you're not
gonna do anything come on this is 2022
almost 2023.
this is a different world
no
email
not withhold good from those who go with
him with Simplicity with wholeness if
you really buy and if you really believe
this
will not miss anything good nothing
nothing will be lacking
you'll always have all of his needs
that's okay
it doesn't just mean praiseworthy means
the ultimate Joy ashrae means the
ultimate Joy
the person it's not just you're lucky
you're so lucky you trust in Hashem
no it means that you have the ultimate
Joy because you have everything
your your blessings are overflowing
the blessings are overflowing
positive
protect my soul for I am righteous
says King David
save your servant
you are my God
to whom I I
trust I trust in you I trust towards you
how is
save your servant you are my God it
sounds like a separate thing
but he says the radak says
you my God it says if he's saying you my
God save your servant
because I trusted in you
says
so here's it almost sounds like a trick
or like a you know a kind of trapping
God as they were saying look
I need you to I need you to I'm trusting
in you right
and then that now when I was going to
trust and you want to do what's right
uh you know so your name is called upon
me right what does it mean your name is
called upon me
it means that
the road call me all right all the
nations see that the name of God is upon
us what does it mean it means that when
we do God's will
when we act in accordance with the Torah
with the directives of the Torah so the
result is that you see this person as a
different person
this person acts in a different way than
everybody else
this person
you can just see it on him he's Godly
God's name is called upon us right so so
says
when I am trusting in you I'm doing
something Supernatural
and therefore everyone sees that I'm a
Godly person
again
so this now is a matter of God's honor
you have to help me
you gotta help me why not for my not not
because of me it's not about me anymore
it's because
it's your honor that's at stake Hashem
if you don't if you don't help me so
then it will look bad for those who
trust in you it would look bad for for
those who are Shining
God's light into the world
now we were plastic from the beginning
of
yes should we say israelian
right says the one who sits in the
in the shadow
nestled in the in the shadow
of the most high
Butler
he rests there in the shade of Hashem
supposedly
you are the one in whom I place My Hope
you are my tower
you are my God who I trust in
says Korea
this statement this is
giving us physic and he's telling us
this is what happens
when a person trusts in Hashem
when he's a person who is nestled
in the divine presence under the shadow
of Hashem and that's where he rests
I want to tell you something on God's
behalf
is
my experience was
saying on behalf of God my experience
was
that God was the one who was my trust
and he was my tower
I want you to know he's my God that I
will continue to trust him I saw that it
works when I'd be talking when I trust
in Hashem it works
I'm telling you something that I want
you to know I'm making a promise on his
behalf I I guarantee it says you want to
guarantee there's lots of it's the
doctors that you can give to that will
make certain guarantees but King David
the greatest King of the Jewish people
of all time the great great grandfather
of mashiach himself
he tells us you want to know what the
guarantee is I'll give you a guarantee
all you need to do is trust the Hashem
if you place yourself under God's Wing
under his protection
I want you to know it's going to work
out well for you this is a tremendous
physic
obviously King David tells us but we
need to know that this is what we need
to do for others when we have a be
talking group it could be a group that
you create yourself it doesn't have to
be the group that I'm part of you can
create it with your friends with those
who are interested
in in discussing these ideas when I tell
you a story about how it worked out for
me I had a certain issue I didn't know
where the money was going to come from
and it came whatever exactly when I
needed it I tell you the story like that
a true story we tell each other stories
of how we trusted in Hashem is directing
us he's saying look we got to be makhazi
guitar
those who serve God we need to
strengthen each other in our service of
God and in so doing we strengthen
ourselves we strengthen everyone around
us and our kids learn from us as well
they can see they can smell
how we are in are we talking in our
relationship with Hashem
thanks so much for listening we'll see
you again next time
