Bitachon 97 - Bedrock of Serenity

you're listening to the 97th edition of the be talking podcast and we're back here in this location the visibility is a little better today and there will be emergency rain soon in a few hours and uh it's very windy as you will hear from the recording and we're finishing up in this section of the sukim in the safer and I'd like to actually start another in another safer there's a whole um gamut of silken mostly from tahillin and King David amalek's incredible bitachham is incredible courage and faith in Hashem is something to to learn from and so I'd like to share with you just the end the last two second that we we have here in batako Sherman then we'll start in this other safer which is called Yeshua a beautiful collection of silken and perushin and their stories and it's really a powerful resource careless Adam so I'm sorry we're we're still with uh King Solomon and Michelle in Proverbs chapter 29 verse 25 . wow this wind is amazing the posix says that the fear of a person will cause him will is a trap for him but someone who trusts in Hashem so he is going to see plenty he's going to see all that he needs so we have a number of different perus from here let's see starting with Rashi here is Rashi when a person has a small eye which means he has constricted thinking and he's afraid imiasis that if he does if he gives charity if he gives to Dhaka if he takes from his own money and gives to others that he's going to end up needing to take from others is actually tells us that this kind of fear is kind of constricted thinking can cause a person to to stumble it's a trap it's self-perpetuating against we'll see another Fortune now we have the Melbourne clear this other meeting in my case so the passenger seems to say that having fears is a bad thing but we find elsewhere that it's praiseworthy for a person to be constantly afraid because nevertheless the fear that we're speaking about here or maybe it's sorry this word is different than is a different type of fear than koraid means that I'm in a I'm in a in a tizzy Imus a sudden a sudden scare so if I experience a sudden fear and and it completely upends me that's the kind of thing that that we're speaking about having that kind of fear having that kind of sudden fear it shows that a person doesn't trust Hashem because trusting in Hashem is a Bedrock it's a foundation it's something that a person can always depend on if we've developed that we talk them as we should and so a person who has that Bedrock is not knocked over by a sudden situation a person might be scared but a person isn't thrown off completely [Applause] a person won't have that level of fear if he has a proper uh the one who trusts in Hashem so he has multiplying goodness in his life foreign came into the town and he heard a scream as he came into his town and he said he heard the scream but he knew it wasn't from his house and the reason that he knew it wasn't because he recognized the Scream the voice it was because he had me talking shinama that a person who has been talking who has whose heart is dependent on the Bedrock which is Hashem so he's not afraid of bad news he doesn't get knocked over by fear because of some situation which suddenly appears pillow was sure it wasn't from his house that was because it was me talking that was because it was Foundation of faith that we find that Hillel we mentioned this previously but Hillel with somebody who each day he wouldn't be worried about what's he going to have for shopping but he has something nice for Shabbos and on Friday he'd always find something very special the nicest thing possible for Shamus that was his me that was aminda it'll be tough now we have the red bug here is it when a person has a fear of something that he shouldn't have a fear of there are back the you know kind of confines the case to something which is an unwarranted fear so having an unwarranted fear nezzek that thing itself the very thing the very fact that he's afraid will cause the very thing that he's afraid of to happen her muscle and as an example right he gives a very clear way an analogy for us to understand this is let's say a robber comes along and finds somebody on the street and he sees that the person is very afraid of him so when the robber sees that this person is especially afraid of him so the robber is going to be more likely to cause a person damage to do bad to him to steal what he has he's not afraid of this person because this person's afraid of him right that's an analogy for the fact that [Applause] if we have fear in a situation right it opens ourselves up for the very thing that we fear to happen right Allah could be talking is itself a cause of negative results somebody who has faith in Hashem and is not afraid from anything because of his the power of His of his be talking about and even something that a person perhaps should be afraid of it is something that's fearful used to gov such a person will experience an expansion foreign and he will escape from whatever evil might might approach him that's their all about very beautiful such a cool muscle where the person the robber who comes and he sees that we're afraid so then it's more likely to attack anonymous the fear that a person has the quaking the shaking when when some some bad circumstance comes so this itself is a trap it's it's a further trap because his heart is not with him right it's very important for a person to keep his wits about him just on a simple level when a person is is facing off with a terrible situation they need to keep their head on straight and such a person who experience is this type of situation they can easily fall it reminds me of you know in my apartment building so when I when you walk up or down the steps so the light which is on in the hall can just turn off on its own they don't lead us on for a certain amount of time and at that moment it's dark and you could trip why not because you don't your feet know what to do but the very fact that you're afraid that you might trip can cause a person to trip should be cut sorry and doesn't have excessive fear he is so he can overcome even the very situation that he finds himself you're not sure he'd be KATU whereas that had that he encountered from them all right last small shot from the IBN Ezra heard this Adam is he sums it up for us that the person who's afraid and doesn't place his faith and his trust in Hashem it's the very thing that he's afraid of will come upon him okay last pause secure it's a short short explanation here as well last person this is in uh Chronicles the first Chronicles chapter 5 verse 20. the Jewish people were helped the Hadrian which is a reference to Ishmael to the to those who come from Ishmael the Arabs so the Arabs were given over into the hands of the Jews because all that had a company of them in battle why did we succeed why were we successful in our battle why were they giving over into our hands because we called out to Hashem in the middle of our war Ned him and we Hashem responded to our prayers because we trusted in him foreign they were helped by Hashem to overcome these enemies whoever was along with them who had come along in the battle to help him against the Jews you know him Hashem responded to received and answered our prayers why were these ishmaelites giving over into the hands of the Jewish people it was as a result of their trusting Hashem and their prayer tashem that's why they were saved now we have a few minutes left I'd like to begin another safer and gives us some Concepts from tehelum from Davina Mel King David and some different proportion that we've seen so we may go over some of the same sukum that we've seen previously but he gives us some uh off the Beaten Track we'll force him and he gives us some stories some interesting ideas in the third chapter of Psalms of to heal him I was sleeping and I awoke I was able to awake why because Hashem was was holding me up Hashem was supporting me foreign King David says me I have a way to convince myself so to speak I will wait to strengthen my Vitas that Hashem will be with me of company because someone like me I'm running away King David was running away from his son his son was trying to murder him he's trying to kill him so that his son could take over ashalem wanted to take over the throne somebody who's running away in such a situation doesn't have the ability to sleep you're too Restless you're too afraid but I was able to sleep that night my faith in God was so powerful that I didn't lose any sleep reminds me of the story we shared it was a month or two ago about somebody who wasn't able to sleep at night is trying to figure out what does he need to do in order to have his partner so this that what do I need to do what's my status what's my status until in the end he he was able to quiet the the nervous voice would be talking when he learned about be talking that hashem's in charge and we don't have to do the ultimate histadness but he brings over here also with super al-ha greets itself the risker of it said it was said about him during the War World War II the the bombs were falling all over on every side but he would go to sleep and he would sleep regularly he had no problem foreign I was able to go to to lie down and sleep and I was able to wake up Hashem woke me up I woke up because of hashem's support so he would constantly review this verse because that's how it is when it comes to the character trait of be talking to this concept of be talking to somebody who's inculcated into himself the Courage the faith in Hashem even when everything around is is is windy right it's windy day everything is that there's constant wind the wind is blowing seems like we're gonna get blown away and yet quiet inside because I have the fortitude to know that Hashem is with me like this is so beautiful this very song that I'm singing I woke up in the night in order to sing it foreign I woke up because Hashem supports me what does that means this is like the makubalum say s sometimes it says and sometimes sometimes it says now what's the difference why is sometimes it it says first in the Apostle it says a song of David all right other times does it say to David a song well it depends when it says Miss World it means the song came first to David because he was awoken he was inspired by the song and he started to sing as opposed to other times it says the David mismo that maybe he sat down at the at the piano so to speak and and he started playing and then the song came but here he was awoken by the song this this chapter chapter 3 of tehilim starts off and it says he was awoken by the song he was inspired by the song so this teaches that that which it says that I'm awakened it's because Hashem is the one who is supporting me Hashem is giving me the inspiration to sing this very song foreign the Hashem has awakened me and and inspired me and he's given a shepher he's given down to me a a an Awakening and an outpouring of goodness that he is supporting me soch felt within the challenge within the difficult situation that he found himself in someone's running after him to to destroy him but yet he wasn't he wasn't blown over by it foreign I slept and I and I slept deeply I lied down to sleep means I wasn't extremely afraid I will stand strong I'll stand with my faith and I will sleep in peace foreign in other words when I awaken so I will awaken with a sense of Faith as well right when a person wakes up from his sleep when a person is sleeping and they wake up so whatever is really in their subconscious is what is what they is what they wake up feeling right if there's a deep seated fear in their subconscious so that comes out when they're sleeping I will wake up with the same assuredness but it's conscious when I'm conscious it's easier to be focused on my be talking on my faith in Hashem because you know I can I can force myself so to speak had such powerful be talking it went down into his guts went down into his core and he knew that when he would awaken there wouldn't be fear when he awakens there would be his be talking there would be his faith in Hashem because it's so deep and it's so down into his core thank you so much for listening we'll see you again next time
