Bitachon 107 - Trust Only in Hashem

listening to the 107th Edition podcast we continue in sukim which were collated for us by Rob Zombie says into hilum chapter 16 verse 1. a crown for King David protect me Hashem for I have placed my hope in you I place my trust in you mikhtam is interesting word we said it means a crown for David says Rashi it's a language of a crown kumoketem if we find out where the word katam can mean a crown something that's above David that the pasig is saying that was always saying this possibly he was always saying this idea it was it was his crown it was his crowning achievement and it's like a crown which surrounds the person right you have a crown it's placed upon the head it surrounds the head we called Saad and as you could say it's seen from each side foreign we find that what was his will what was David Melech constantly speaking about the concept of the root zone is also related to the crown something that's above the mind a person's will is beyond thought it's beyond intellect but what's the Rotten of David hamalek that crowns him what's his desire what is his hope what is his constant prayer he said Hashem should protect him that's what surrounded him always this this beautiful prayer protect me Hashem because I trusted in you says that which he doesn't say it as it feels it doesn't say it as a prayer God protect me rather he says it in the language of shamrani which means protect me it's almost a command protect me this type of protection is something which is absolute it's guaranteed foreign it's something that it's it's a it's an activation it's like Domino is activating the shmira the the promise of Hashem absolute promise of Hashem which is that he's going to be protected it's not possible that Hashem will be weak it's not possible that there'll be a lessening of his strength of hashem's ability because God is a kale we refer to him as kale the name of Hashem which is used here as kale which means he is powerful foreign there's no such thing as having hopelessness and there's no such thing such I'm giving up on us or US giving up on him and there's no cruelty from Hashem the name kale besides for denoting God's strength and his power also the notes his Divine Mercy and it means that Hashem has the ability the power the great power the strong power to have mercy on whoever trusts in him it said and there is a merit that we have there is American David says the Merit is Hashem protect me it's guaranteed that Hashem will protect me why because I've trusted in you and this is the rule and I heard this from Shiva this is a spiritual rule it's a fact it's part of Nature and when we trust in Hashem there's a guarantee it's absolutely certain that Hashem will take care of us let's see what the yive it says the Ivan says like this is this statement that King David says he says I trust in you Hashem protect me Hashem I trust in you this statement was made when the crown of King David was placed upon his head when he became the king I hear this it's awesome even though I am a king and I have plenty of of guards to protect me foreign all the armies in the world can protect me unless you protect me all the bodyguards in the world can't protect me unless you protect me because I know so clearly says that the compassion that my guards have on me and the protection that they protect me with it's it's you it's your protection it's your compassion foreign if you don't protect me nobody can protect me you are the power of protection Hashem so I recognize that David America is saying at that very moment when they're placing a crown on his head and all the bodyguards are lining up he says Hashem You Are My Bodyguard you're the one who takes care of me now we have the beer avram foreign says let's imagine somebody is walking along in the in the marketplace and I'm gonna translate it a little bit so it's more applicable for today he sees someone on a motorcycle riding straight at him he's worried that he'll get run over we will entice me Darkly a woman here is he can't get out of the way the guy's driving so fast foreign he calls out in a low voice please perhaps it's something that he knows that he can't even scream over the the volume the loud the loudness of the motorcycle he says quietly and the guy sees him please don't run over run me over please go off the path canis so to Hashem davins to the one who rides the rider of the heavens who is his helper she is looks up at the sky he sees the stars and he sees the masalis he sees he understands he was very deep he was very wise he could see what's going to happen he could read the way things are headed he could see it but he says to Hashem please protect me from the way that things are riding the way things are moving the way things seem to be going I don't want to be run over I trusted in you and I don't trust in what I see in the Stars the horoscopes the future the visions of whoever has visions I'm not I'm not impressed with that I Look to You Hashem I know that you are behind everything you're the power behind everything is I'm not even interested it's possible you know it's possible to use the names of of Angels in order to affect create certain effects in the world to bring about certain results in the world that a person wants says I know all that I'm not going to use it I'm not interested in angels foreign I just want you to be the one who I trust him you are my rock you are my Foundation you are the one who I know everything comes from you here there's a note um writes in his uh he has a safer called Dominion amitsus brings down all the different Commandments of 613 Commandments foreign the eighth commandment that the Jewish people were commanded he said we should have a complete heart with Hashem this is what the verse says it says what does it mean it means that I should trust in Hashem shouldn't trust in anybody else and anything else in any other power shouldn't try to figure out the future see what's going to be be plain be simple be whole with Hashem don't try to figure out looking at the stars looking at the constellations looking at the the masalas what's going to be don't look at anything else that they need to actually avoid the real component there are people who know things there are people who have psychic abilities they're able to see the future they're able to know things don't believe it though even though they're right they might have been right but in the past they might be right in the future don't believe it why well we hear something and it sounds like it's something negative we hear a certain thing is going to happen don't believe it don't believe it why because everything is in hashem's hands everything is in the hands of the creator can switch things around you can move the constellations into the way he wants it to be ah it doesn't seem like that there's a whole order of the way things go we can figure it out based on science forget science forget the future forget what you think is going to be Shem does everything because Hashem can take The Magicians and we're talking about people who can do real magic like The Magicians in India those who have real clear satumo they use certain powers Hashem nullifies their power Hashem takes away the their false signs and their false signs might be true sometimes but Hashem can make them false Vietnam we need to believe says the ramban we need to know that every single thing that we do every time we try to come close to Hashem every time we try to perform his mistress his Commandments every time we try to do his will every time we try to have be talking on him it changes the story it really changes the story so in a certain sense it's in his control but it's also in our control we choose our relationship with Hashem and if we have a relationship with the big boss with the King it's going to be all right now he brings them um King David is speaking responding to that which the nations of the world say those who serve idols foreign they agree they recognize that God is really the source of all sources he's behind everything he's turning the cogs so to speak Italian but they think that he is appointed minions Underneath Him that they're the ones who are in charge of all that goes on in this world he's above and he lets things go based on what they decide that's that's where they have their Idols that's what the idols were they were called they served the Stars they bow down to the Sun and the Moon they recognize that there was a God but I said God is aloof God is not interested in us directly he's placed all these intermediaries foreign there's all these different gods the Greek gods think about the Greek gods um so what do the nations of the world do they turn to their gods they turn toward their idols and they say this is what's going to provide for me today we have Idols as well it's called money it's called all of the pr is going to give me the success if I do everything that the greats do if I follow their instructions if I get the right classes and I get the right ideas so I'm going to be successful this is what King David is calling out about he's saying you Hashem protect me take care of me because I've trusted in you um and he asks Hashem please you Hashem please you directly protect me take care of me I'm not trusting in anything else I'm not trusting in my own self my own efforts I'm not trusting in any powers any spiritual Powers any physical Powers any people not trusting my money just trusting in you here he brings that feel to my shopping David in this psalm is giving us an explanation he's coming to to bring to us to extol to [Music] explain to us the true enjoyment that a person has after he dies when he has reached a certain level of perfection a spiritual perfection and the enjoyment that a person has when he reaches a certain level of spiritual uh perfection in this world as well when he's still alive all the different types of attainments from beginning to end which is coming to describe in the Book of Psalms foreign means a crown of David whether it means is the literal crown and he's asking Hashem for help when he's being crowned whether it's the crown or the fact that he's constantly asking Hashem and it's always something that surrounds him and he's always using this request but here's a different explanation the crown is the soul right of course as our sages tell us right this the the soul the lower aspects of the nashama are inside of our mind and they stretch up to the highest heaven so it's like a like a crown saw them the soul and the intellect are the crown of the human being and what he's saying is that his soul his soul is calling out to Hashem calling out to God and saying Hashem protect me foreign it's interesting because he's saying this is a description of what tainug what spiritual enjoyment looks like it's the spirit speaking and saying Hashem protect me protect me because I want to Nestle under your under your wing I want to come into your protection to your under your shadow that's the the true think about it what an enjoyment it is trust in Hashem and we see that Hashem took care of us the thing that we asked for you know we prayed for the thing that we trusted him about came true it's it's an amazing feeling last piece over here is from the sharikheim game he says something which we mentioned previously but it's important to hear it again a person feels like look I don't really deserve I don't deserve any reward Hashem why should God answer me I don't really deserve it is I haven't done enough Good Deeds I haven't done enough mitzvahs reactions but I do have something what is what my one Merit Adam Jose Jose and say look I don't trust anybody I don't trust any people but I do trust in you that's not just the Merit that's an incredible meritso even if I don't have anything else to my name any other credits to my name but if I have the Merit of the fact that I trust in Hashem that's enough we find it elsewhere positive says those who trust in you will not be embarrassed is that armor this is what King David says I know I know the truth that I don't really have enough actions I don't have enough Good Deeds I don't deserve your help Marini King David says if we can honestly say tashem that we trust in him our trust is only in you like we saw before he had so many people to trust him and he says no I'm not interested in that I just trust in you Hashem if we can turn honestly to Hashem and say that we're set we've got it Hashem will not turn us away thank you so much for listening we'll see you again next time
