you're listening to the 101st edition of the be talking podcast we continue Yeshua versus explanations from many different sources Hashem Hashem my God I have trusted in you hoshieni save me because from all those running after me laini and save me so this this person this verse was written when King David was running away from King Saul from and he was showing Hashem he was he was ratifying he was ratifying the fact that he trusted Hashem despite his challenges says he the first idea that we have here is very interesting very deep Hashem my God I trusted in you the word which means in you I trust in you the message bring down brings down when it says I trusted in you it's a reference to the Torah why because the word of it is 22 and it's a reference to the 22 letters with which the Torah was written what does this mean on a deeper level so we've discussed many times the idea of trusting in Hashem trusting in Hashem without any status without any efforts of course trusting depends on our level sometimes we need to put in efforts ourselves we also discussed the idea of trusting in Hashem when I don't deserve it let's say a person is a Russia we found that even a wicked person Hashem he's surrounded by kindness we've tried to understand that what that means one person trusts in Hashem perhaps they are no longer called wicked but the magic Shear says something amazing and and interesting and it has to do with when I'm guaranteed when am I guaranteed that might be talking will be answered that my confidence indeed is Justified here it's the safer called the vacation very interesting when it says that he trusted in the 22 letters that the title is written with so the reason that the magic is pointing this out is because the measures had a question how can David say with full confidence that he knows that Hashem will save me from all of his enemies it says person should not say that Hashem for sure save me foreign or that this is what Hashem will do for me so this is why Rebecca says as follows Hashem my God I trusted in you Shanta is explaining according to the savior of akish Watson felt confident why because he was he was approaching in a specific way the specific way was Hashem I want to learn your Torah Hashem I want your 22 letters the 22 letters I trusted in your 22 letters in your Torah the fact that I wanted to learn Tyra because because I want to be able to learn your tyro sius which was written with 22 letters which add up to the number of 22. which is the letter the Gamache of the words of the word by you saving me from those who run after me by you doing that so it will come out like to say just say yes now what's the proper approach how can a person guarantee his salvation person should place his Focus uh he should place his confidence in Hashem that Hashem will help him in the midst of sanator we saw this previously but it's such an important point to underscore and to repeat and to remember if I ask Hashem to help me so that I can learn his toyra ask Hashem I have been talking to you why because I if you if you save me I'm gonna be able to study your Torah I'm going to be able to have a spiritual life I'm going to be able to to fulfill the Commandments to fulfill the Torah I'm gonna be able to go in the way of Truth that kiability we have a guarantee that somebody who comes to purify himself they get Heavenly assistance then a person can be guaranteed that they will be helped so it's very interesting take it's it's based on the czar it's based on this is what King David is saying is I trust in you I trust in the 22 letters of the tiger I trust that if I want to learn the Torah if I want to fulfill your Commandments if I want to be able to deal with Hashem is going to be able to do it why because you will save me from all those who run after me and who want to hurt me I'm guaranteed because what's my focus why am I asking for your help why do I have that such great confidence because I want to study the Torah and he brings here an incredible story what comes out what we learn from this is this at the Tsar says that a person should not depend for sure that Hashem is going to fulfill whatever he desires yeah I just had a discussion with one of my children about she said my daughter said you know when you have me talking it feels like you're demanding something from Hashem right it doesn't feel right I'm demanding a Hashem I'm I'm like instructing Hashem what I should get but but when the focus the the fulcrum is adjusted so that why am I asking for this I'm asking for this thing because when my troubles are removed I'll be able to learn I'll be able to study your tire properly I'll be able to fulfill the mixes better I'll be able to give more to DACA when that's the focus so then it's a different kind of approach we say for Mega give voice Islam the super in the safer Mega voice alarm there's a story because this Rabbi shurkin he had lost his parents his parents had died and he had no family foreign he already reached the age of 30 and he had not yet found a wife he wasn't yet married he came to the khavascript one day on the eve of Yom Kippur because he said please bless me I should find a wife please bless me that I should have a family foreign which means the Creator should bless you they should be able to stay in learning foreign didn't hear him properly he said I'm asking for a I'm asking for a wife to to start a home please bless me he said the same thing Hashem to be able to stay in learning was saying to him that he would be alone for the rest of his life he would just be learning we got a family without ever getting married in fact Yeshiva crying I guess he must have gone back to baronovich where he was studying said to him why are you crying my friend my student why are you crying what's wrong explain to him the entire story of what had happened foreign you don't understand without a wife you can't stay in Learning Without A paranasi you can't stand learning without livelihood without the Serenity and a good family costumes it's very difficult to stay in learning you're very lucky he gave you everything he blessed you with everything that you need such a beautiful story but the point of the story is the same point that we saw previously and that is that if I have been talking if I'm coming and asking him that I should be able to learn why should I why should I be guaranteed that I'll get whatever I need why should Hashem bless me with a spouse a family with paranas with livelihood why should I be blessed with that why Hashem I'm asking for that I'm having me talking because I need to serve you Hashem I just want to serve you I want to be your your servant I want to be I want to be a Pentair I want to be someone who studies the Tyra then it's guaranteed he brings here as well a person should ask from Hashem something that's appraised to the Creator Olaf when a person is asking they should be able to learn he's asking that he should be able to fulfill something spiritual pours out his heart over it it's guaranteed that Hashem will hear his prayer even though this person does not have my sometimes it's very interesting you don't have good deeds person is not a righteous individual he's a wicked person but if he says Hashem look what do I really want I really want to learn I really want to learn I really want to come close to you I really want to have Tyra I really want to have Mitzvahs I really want to be a spiritual person you can get whatever you need that way incredible let's go on says the radak I trusted in you and I didn't trust in the help of humans of human beings therefore save me from all those who chase after me so the radak is underscoring the fact that he was saying David was saying I only trust in you because I only trusted in you thank you he brings here the Torah tells us the the Tanakh tells us the story about King David that he was being chased by Charles King Saul and Shola David tripped over so to speak shovel he was sleeping and he could have killed Scholl was running after I mean a right to kill him someone seriously asked you to kill you you're allowed to kill them but instead of killing him he cut off the corner of his garments he wanted Charlamagne to know that he had been there and could have killed him but he didn't say he's saying an amazing thing he's saying I'm so sure that Hashem will save me but even though I I could have killed him to get rid of him from me to rid myself of my enemy who wants to destroy me wants to kill me I didn't need to do it why because I trust so absolutely that he's going to save me from my enemies even though I could I could do it myself I don't I don't take care of the problem myself I don't get rid of the problem once and for all because we'll get rid of this problem for me that's how confident he was okay I proved King David says I proved that I really trust you I I'm the real deal it's real it's serious about me you can't make you can't prove it better than that foreign and it's the honor of Asar of a of a distinguished person of a king of a great king of a prince that if somebody comes to him and says please protect me that means that I believe that you're going to protect me and it's a great honor to to say to somebody you're my protector so King David is saying look I trusted in you I went all the way it proves my trust in you absolutely you gotta save me you gotta help me now it's beautiful the Asha says that King David was saying that he's burned he's going to be burned by two fires he's afraid of a physical death right he's he's stuck in a quandary he's stuck in a catch-22. here he is charlamag is right in front of him he could kill him if he saves himself I'm sorry if he if he allowsk to live so then he'll be killed physically he's taking a great Risk by allowing him to live Sheamus means on the other side of it if he goes and he kills King Saul he's also running a spiritual risk killing the bahir Hashem the chosen one of God King that he was afraid that he would be killed he was afraid that he would kill somebody else he wasn't interested in that in the physical uh the physical damage that could come or the spiritual damage that could come from when it came to the physical aspect he said save me from those who run after me escoffish my physical body lest I be killed and save me what's the second saving it's a different language one is hoshish save me not causing any damage to anybody else this is such an important thing to think about to focus on to to contemplate right when we go we go we go in our car right you get in our car and we say that Hashem protect me you need to also think Hashem please let me not cause any damage to anybody else shooting a car it's true in our parnasa we don't want to cause damage to other people it's true at so many levels we don't want to be damaged we don't want to cause damage we don't want to take somebody else's money that's not ours it doesn't belong to us that we haven't earned that's these two Chinese save me that I should be protected I shouldn't cause that shouldn't cause any damage no damage should be caused me and I shouldn't cause any damage to anyone else okay we have a few more minutes let's see a little bit more foreign should save him one is from God's perspective God is a Rahman God is compassionate when he created the entire world he brought everything into existence and he watches over every single creation foreign right there's a simple broad reason why Hashem saves Hashem created everything he wants everything to exist he has all these creations all these creatures he wants them all to exist s says look he created trees and and clouds and bugs and birds and all kinds of animal life and humans you made us so that we should exist give me existence but the second point is look besides for the fact that I'm one of your Creations just on a very simple level save me because of that besides for that save me because I'm your servant I serve you it's my desire as we spoke about to learn your Tyra to study your word to be to be spiritual to have a good life a life that's connected to you so it's more than just I'm a creation that you want to exist it's I'm the on the chosen of creation I'm the one who wants to have a relationship with your son connect in regards to the first one he said look I'm a creation of yours so save me from those who run after me because I'm being chased and the way is wants to save those who are Chase he has Rahman as he has compassion on all his creatures specifically we also have that sense of if someone's the underdog we have compassion on them they said two languages of saving Yeshua language of Salvation save me save me hot Salah it's an absolute saving why should I be saved absolutely says King David because of the fact that I'm your servant I'm trying to serve you I'm trying to do your will let's see one more little section here from remember Hashem climber um bring all of reality into existence and you you have me this you have you have a attribute an attribute of of Divine Mercy vacavana since you brought me into existence sounds similar to the previous idea many times you have already shown your Rahman Assam you have already shown that you have mercy upon me I I didn't deserve it previously but you did you did have Rahman Assam you did despite my unworthiness you did have mercy upon me you place your godliness upon me so I trust the new kilometers I trust in Nevada I want to come under your wings once again and I've always been protected by you I trusted in you and I was always protected by you why is she aiming because I save me from all those who chased me anymore and save me from the greatest enemy that I have which is Charles who wants to take who wants to take me he wants to kill me was saying something which actually I spoke about the special is we had a beautiful breasts the Shabbos it was really something special we named her baby after my great grandfather yes that's my great-grandfather and the the thing that I said was something that I said also almost 20 years ago my son Moshe doves bar at his breasts was 20 years ago same idea in Shabbos on Friday night there's a prayer between if you look in that prayer it says we thank Hashem I thank you for all of the kindness that you did with me and I'm thanking you for all the kindness that you're going to do with me and with my family the question that I always had the question I had then the question that I reiterated now was how can I thank Hashem for something a kindness that he hasn't done with me yet who says he'll do he will even do that kindness how can I say thank you for something that I haven't received yet and the answer is I believe the answer is that when I'm already saying thank you when I'm in that mode of gratitude first of all if Hashem has given me taken care of me before as we just saw saying if Hashem has already helped me in the past even though I didn't deserve it it's going to help me in the future even though I don't deserve it it's not it doesn't depend on my on my worthiness maybe it depends on my desire to serve him that's not something that I've done yet I want to serve you but I haven't even done that yet so we could say like Domino milk is saying I want to serve you Hashem save me because I want to serve you but I want to say something else and that is in the mode of thanks when I'm saying thank you if I'm saying thank you about something I've already I've already received if I'm going to say thank you for something I haven't yet received when I'm in gratitude so I'm guaranteed I'm guaranteed in a college book who's going to take care of me and it's going to give me more things to thank him about thank you so much for listening we'll see you again next time
