Bitachon 138 - Surrounded with Protection

you're listening to the 138th edition of the podcast we're learning together the in 32:10 the wicked person has a lot of pain the one who trusts in hasem he is surrounded by kindness so let's continue says he tells us children of Israel accustom your tongue teach your tongue to always say we trusted in you hasem we trust in you Hashem Our God this is something that helps even a person who's Wicked he also understands the verse three saying that even a wicked person who trusts hasm will be surrounded by kindness so if we get into the Habit says radya we get into the habit of saying hasem I trust in you Hashem I trust in you Hashem I trust in you it's a powerful way to connect to hasem no matter what our current state may be and you know human beings are in constant flux we're up and down sometimes we're better sometimes we're less says he brings our even a wicked person trust in will be surrounded by kindness it means that even a person who's Wicked in that matter in that in that he is trusting in Hashem Hashem will give him the thing that he desires will save him from the side of the side of because what happens is a person enters into a state into a place which is a different place it's very interesting a human being depending on his circumstances can be a different person we find Kaz say that you could have someone who's Wicked he says to a woman I am marrying you I'm on the condition that I'm a righteous individual so the says that that we have to assume that it's it's possible that he was that he repented in that moment it's possible to change in a moment such an important deep lesson but again like we said last time it doesn't take away the obligation to repent from the things that I've done wrong says the wicked person he gives us another perspective and understanding about this the wicked person has a lot of pain a wicked person somebody left a comment on on the podcast last week what's a wicked person what does it mean so he says says a wicked person is someone who runs after his desires he lets go of his spiritual side and he involved himself completely in running after his physical tiis like the says says in m in in Proverbs 13:2 that the stomach of the wicked is empty it's always missing something right a person who Wicked it means that they're running after their tus and the CL God is the general principle is you never get enough whereas they say in the in the 12-step literature the drink takes a drink the evil that a person does desires more evil someone who trust inem what does it mean someone he has control over his physical desires he's not running after trying to get more and more stuff here what be talk looks like according to what is a wicked person someone was just trying to get more and more stuff what does a b talk look like recognizing I already have enough I don't need more and more things what is the approach of his heart is assured his heart is his heart is confident in his King hasem will give him everything that he needs will give him success in his ways will protect him in his Su in his canopy will surround him with kindness I love this language the person who Trust on HM will be surrounded by kindness It's like this protective shield on every side hashem's kindness and he'll be protected from any pain any damage he won't have any any pain a person who trusts in the person who recognizes that he has what he needs he's not running after his tiis comes in with a with a recognition an expansive recognition that I already have what I need I don't need more and more to fill the whole the empty hole inside of myself which is not even there it's a false hole such a person can trust on hasm hasem will provide for him hasm is his father hasm will take care of me says person who trusts in his many armies his many soldiers and doesn't look to hasem hav didn't understand person who doesn't understand reality as it is this is such an important Point person who doesn't recognize that My Success if my if my armies are succeeding it's because of Hashem the person who doesn't recognize that which is the truth of it so then the sins of the person bring upon him a lot of pain there's no one to save him from it because he's not trusting in Hashem right we can always turn to Hashem even when we've done wrong we can repent we can ask hm to forgive us we can ask to have on us to have compassion on us but a person who trusts completely in Hashem and realizes that I have no one to rely upon except for Hashem says the if I trust in hem alone only in hem the person will be surrounded by kindness the opposite of the wicked were surrounded by many pains the question is do I align myself with reality or not do I align myself with the truth that hasem is in charge and thereby have some respit from the pain of the world or do I allow myself to be thrown around by the forces of nature by the forces of reality which is a FSE reality it's a reality I've chosen now he bring listen carefully when you understand the secret of movement which means everything that occurs in the world everything you understand it down to its true Essence and its spiritual essence everything all the movement in the world everything that happens in the world everything that goes on in my personal life the fact that I can move my hand the fact that I'm healthy the fact that I can walk the fact that I can get in my car and drive the fact that there's everything that goes on in my personal life when I recognize that it's all a result of hashem's unbelievable wisdom and understand the incredible amount of compassion hasm has on his Creations contemplate contemplate how everything in your life every action every movement is is controlled by Hashem lovingly when you do that so you come to a conclusion you come to the a true conclusion that you're completely connected at every moment to the will and the desire of hem hashem's divine intervention constant guidance in your life and his will the smallest and the greatest thing that happens in your life the most hidden thing that happens in your life and the most revealed thing that happens in your life sometimes we see hashem's hand sometimes we don't sometimes we only see it in hindsight but everything that happens in our lives is divinely orchestrated down to the smallest detail of course except for the things that Hashem puts into our own choice our Free Will choosing between good good and evil when you clear clearly see this remember this in every movement in every action this is Hashem this is Hashem helping me speak this is Hashem helping me move remember it remember it bring it into your consciousness remember how hasem remind yourself how hasem has attached you to him Hashem loves you Hashem is with you Hashem is helping you this there should be a natural sense of Shame a good shame a healthy shame follow here I am me and like the the creator of the world who created the the mountains The Valleys the heavens the clouds the Sun the the the Stars the the galaxies he's right here with me it's it's humbling be humbled be afraid be fearful yes healthy fear be in awe and give yourself over to his judgment which and desire is decrees reach for and get to his will you will you will say if you have this approach if you have this contemplation if you have this belief this is everything will be good for you your ultimate the the the result of your life you have this awareness and this is you have this awareness everything will be good for you in the end you will have a good life you'll have a fulfilling life you'll have a productive life like our P says the one who trusts in hem will be surrounded by kindness this beautiful beautiful contemplation of think about it think about it every action every movement every every event in my life intimately directed by the master of the universe by the Creator himself is with me that's what looks like surrounded by kindness brings here from person should not place his trust in the the massiveness of his home his Fortress lives in a fortress how strong it is even if he has a mad to protect him from incoming rockets and how and how good and established it is I have enough food in my house to last me even if there is some kind of difficult situation don't trust in that don't trust in the help of any human being any individual even if that person is the prime minister of your country the the president of your country don't trust in him trust in the one who spoke and brought the world into being he's the only one who has full ability and and and is completely trustworthy he's the only one the leader the Prime Minister he could die he could lose his power he can be vaded out can make a promise he's a human he may not keep his promise is the only one who doesn't who doesn't take back his promises whatever hasem promises he doesn't he doesn't take back doesn't change his mind hem is the only one who can really protect us it's not our massive homes it's not our uh double concrete walls of the of our mad only Hashem is the one who can protect us and shield us the P says that the the one who trusts in Hashem is surrounded by hm's kindness there's no greater protection there's no greater shield in hashem's kindness brings here from he's speaking here about the maida of serenity serenity person who's calm a cal person it's a very good mid it's a very it's an excellent character trait and a person has the understand how to use a Mida person can be a calm person and it's a good maida it's a good thing to be a calm person but you have to make sure that if that's your good Mida if that's your good character trait make sure you use it to depend on hem every single maida that a person has we need to use it in the right way right it's not per se intrinsically good unless we direct it sh for God's sake so a person who's naturally calm make sure you direct your calmness remind yourself I have faith in hem person should lean on hem depend on hasem and say let hasem be the one upon whom I Rely this is a very a very good nature to have person like this will have a tremendous amount of of satisfaction in life a person who takes their calmness and directs it to so that's that's an incredible Mida it's a very good way of living and they're going to have a tremendous influx of kindness from God like this verse which said that the person who trust inem surrounded by kindness brings here one line from when a person trusts in a that person prepares himself he's he's prepared and he's it's like a it's like a flag it's like a person puts up a flag and and from afar they see him and they know that something's supposed to come to that person when a person trust in hem the natural result is kindness flows to that person like our says the one who in hem is surrounded by kindness brings listen to this when a person trusts in hem so the what is the purpose of God's character trait of kindness say the purpose of God's character trait of kindness is to give parasa right I I'm lacking I need livelihood I need food I need to feed my family I need to pay my bills right it's basic that's the kindness of Hashem the kindness of hem is in this world to be able to fill my lacks able to give me my parasa when a person trusts in Hashem the natural result is that the kindness of Hashem which God uses in order to provide the world with parasa with with livelihood that comes along and surrounds him from every side like we said the one who trust in Hashem is surrounded by kindness it's such a beautiful image it's like you have this protective shield surrounding you on all sides surrounding you on all a whirlwind of kindness protecting you bringing to you what you need and it's that which it's the influx that hasem uses to bring to the person all of the things that he needs Hashem has many ways of bringing to a person the parasa the livelihood that he needs this influx this that surrounds him this kindness that is a whirlwind around him it draws to him the many different ways that a has prepared for him to receive his livelihood thanks so much for listening
