you're listening to the 112th edition of the we talking podcast we're continuing Sook him from represental posix says in chapter 21 verse 8 of of tohillon of Psalms Hashem ite King David could say such powerful words the king trusts in Hashem and it's the kindness of the one above that never falters that never that never disappoints the king the most powerful one can trust in Hashem doesn't need any he doesn't need any help he's got all the powers he's got all the money he's got all of the soldiers he's got everything he trust in Hashem the king Hashem tells us the king the king trusts in Hashem says they're a dog foreign that he doesn't have any trust he doesn't have any Joy in many people he has everyone on his side which of course just learning with my daughter she was studying for a test reading about the stories and the troubles and travails that he had sometimes everyone was on his side sometimes they weren't but he could have everyone on his side and he and that's not where he gets his Joy that's not where he has his be talking that's interesting the radar puts be talking enjoy together that's not it it's not because he's succeeded it's not because there's so many people on his side it's just Hashem it's only in you Hashem usually be talking it's in the kindness of the one above the most exalted uppermost kindness that's what he tries because Hashem is above everything if Hashem wants to he can save he can do good whatever he wants him whether it's the person needs a lot a person needs a little bit that's why he knows if I trust in Hashem I have nothing to worry about I have nothing to fear I won't falter why because I'm trusting in Hashem on the bottom of the page he brings you another note book which is the famous book of the son of the rambam or above rum he explains like this is person who is dependent on how does he make his money how does he have his livelihood it's from some kind of involvement that it really depends on the weather it depends on the day like a fisherman or a hunter that kind of person where I would add a musicians Hashem so this type of person has a stronger sense of trust in Hashem is someone who has a set income they know how much they're going to receive they have a paycheck they they work it's harder for them to be talking with elishoni this is the words of the Republican is a disposite if a person works for other people so it's very hard for them to have full be tough and it's hard for him to have full trust in Hashem is somebody works for a king or I would say in present parlance someone who's a government worker someone who is a union worker it's much harder to be perfect in in one zamuna and is why King David says in in talim chapter 40 verse 5. praiseworthy is the person who plays Hashem to be his trust him he doesn't turn towards the rohaven and the the false false floaters it means the it means Idols but it's a reverence to the fact that you never know with a human being you might trust in a human being but you never know when Hashem is guaranteed okay number dovet that's why King David says I'm sorry about that already that's why when he fought and battled in the war of the Four Kings and the five Kings he didn't want to take the money from the king of Saddam right it says I don't want him to say that you made me Rich I wanted to be clear that everything that I have is only from Hashem now this is a very high level very difficult level and this is something which is almost impossible to accomplish but David ml did accomplish this someone who has a lot of money but he doesn't depend on his money like job said talks about the foolishness of following after money thinking that that's what he can depend upon if a person has the ability even though he's so rich right eov was an incredibly wealthy person but he didn't depend on his money he was a while ago that we have great advantage what I mean to say is can't meet us because we talking when a person is in a state of wealth is very difficult it's it's not an easy thing person can accomplish that it is possible King David did accomplish this he said he said absolutely clearly the wealth and the honor come from you and he said it's from you from your hand that it was given a king this is the kavana here this is the intent over here that the king foreign prime minister who takes all the credit for himself no we want a leader we want a true king the Messiah will be someone who takes no credit for himself someone gives all the credit to God he's wealthy he's successful everything he's got it all but he doesn't take any credit for himself that's what that's what we're waiting for that's the kind of leader that we want that's the kind of person like think about Joseph that's what he said taparo I just heard this from shashiva again in the in the context of he says I heard that you know how to explain dreams because he says it's not me foreign if God wills it I'll have an answer for you he didn't even say Allah have an answer Hashem will answer you right and that's this is an incredible challenge somebody who has a lot someone who has talent someone who has success someone who has you know it's a great challenge and the success is dependent especially for someone who's working with Talent with music with art any of these kinds of things a fisherman this success is dependent on the Seattle and when a person thinks that it comes from themselves that's when they lose their seats they lose the the Divine assistance it only comes when a person is in a humble place that's just the facts this is such an important lesson such an important idea might and I'd like to actually skip to one of them a fortune later on here who explains says he trusts in God's kindness which never ends up David didn't King David wasn't anointed because he was so absolutely brilliant he was but that's not what why he was anointed it wasn't because there's so many factors that he didn't have if you compare Tosh the first king of the Jewish people David didn't have all these attributes in fact when schmole came to anoint the the he knew that he had to anoint one of the sons of ishai and the other brothers seemed to be the white right ones but they weren't the right ones but it was David that since there was a kindness from Hashem it was Leslie Montgomery was not him it wasn't himself the reason that we're going to have a mashiach messiah who comes from The Offspring of from King David his his kingship will last forever why because that was the essence of who he was it wasn't because of himself he was worthy but even even despite his worthiness he never he never was interested in receiving because of his worthiness he was always and he knew that if I have the kindness of Hashem volume up there's no there's no end it doesn't it doesn't fail doesn't fail the person depends on Hashem it doesn't fail if a person is trying to depend on his own merits chances aren't so great when the merits disappear as soon as a person thinks that they're you know that it's himself the Barbie Now says this is foreign captured 1700 horses and 20 000 foot soldiers David destroyed interesting he destroyed all of those horses he took all the horses and he he made them unable to walk if he just left over 100 horses out of those out of those 1700 this is to know that David understood something it says in the Torah that the king is not supposed to have a lot of horses so he didn't want to take all the horses that he captured 1 700 horses he took them foreign understands what it means to be a king and to remain a proper King for amisrael sorry there's a lot of bugs here so he knew that the tourist directive not to have a lot of horses meant that he can't take these horses home he won the battle you can't take these horses home foreign and the kindness of the one above that's what never falters now some commanded yahshua that there was an obligation to take all of the horses that they captured make them unable to function s Parts the same and arkovalamata that the purpose of this was to take them from the knee down what was done was that they took the horses from the knee down and they made them unable to run so they shouldn't use these horses that they shouldn't become a mircho they shouldn't be a stumbling block for the Jewish people what's the idea watch out is my power my very power there's danger in my power the danger is that I become I become full of myself I become I start to believe that I can do this and I need to always remind myself another time another time it's not me it's only Hashem he brings here on the bottom Cipher the son of the Hassan cyber I think it is he said it's Russia in honor of the king foreign in the middle of his drasha so he mentioned something that his father said how King David did not make anything dependent on himself he never said it's me that I accomplished when King David would go out to war he would never believe he would never claim that these wars were successful because of his own power but rather he would always give the credits to God he didn't do anything on his own Kim King David didn't do anything on his own he's just a receptacle to receive whatever Hashem gives him from Heaven that's it Azam commercial interesting at a time of anger and a time of danger so there's an analogy to in an oven a fire a fire oven an oven like they have to to make the matses where there's a fire burning inside the back of the oven right it's when somebody puts that when you put the uh when you put the dough the flat dough into the oven and it makes a matzah it's not the oven that makes the Heat it's the it's the fire that makes the Heats right it's the oven it's just a clean within which the fire can gather and be be Limited in that space and then it can it can cook or bake right the next person says as of this one that your right hand is going to strike my enemies you Hashem are going to get those who hate me what does it mean it means that Hashem uses King David as his right hand Hashem uses King David dovet is just a glove so to speak on God's on God's hand says I found my king I found David to be faithful to me we find I think it's about you found his heart to be faithful to you is a faithful servant he just does whatever God wants he just acts as a as a conduit for God to bring about his will into the world this teaches that the king doesn't do anything on his own um he just gets the Heat from hashem's face as it were he's just a Klee through which Hashem brings his power into the world that's what the king is that's that is the aspect of malchus that comes to the kingship in kabbalistic literature refers to the for example the the we say once a month when we sanctify the moon so we're going to do this right the moon has no light of its own it's just a reflection of the light of the Sun in the same way King David is the aspect of malchus it's the aspect of reflection he's just a vessel that Hashem shines through because he is so such a clean vessel he has nothing of his own before Hashem shines through him now he brings here the Hassan saver himself he had King David had a tremendous not just when he was young also when he was King so it didn't depend on his soldiers on his wealth Hashem he wasn't like a fool who spaces out and thinks everything is going to be okay it's not like the the fool spaces out thinks everything's gonna be okay not because he actually depends on Hashem but because it's no better government was not a fool he wasn't just trusting Hashem he had other things to trust him he had his soldiers he had wealth but he trusted specifically in Hashem and finally the last point from the era of Rome o what this means to say is although the king trusts in Hashem the king does not a person who trust in Hashem is not afraid to keep asking for hashem's kindness always constantly cubicles person is afraid I don't deserve it I'm not the person who I really should be I don't have this costume I don't have the merits depending on you and your kindness once again depending on you on your kindness once again I'm depending on you and your kindness thank you so much for listening see you again next time
