Bitachon 126 - King David Trusts in This

you're listening to the 126th edition of the talking podcast and we continue practice with Supreme that we're reading right now together every single day twice a day yeshi chapter 27 of Psalms could govern them King David writes Hashem you are my light you are the one who saves me me who do I have to be afraid of Hashem you are the strength of my life to Moon do I need to be fearful of whom do I need to be fearful is when people come when people who intend to do evil to me they come and they want to eat my flesh they are oppressors to me they will just stumble and fall and here we have in the safer the third party of this of this chapter if there will be a great encampment that comes in order to do battle against me my heart will not be afraid if if a a battle will come I trust in this what is this so the simple understanding will see both the symbol understanding of the verse and we'll also see the deeper understanding but the simple understanding is the fact that Hashem is my light the fact that I have this be talking the fact that I have this face the fact that I know and I've experienced and I continue to experience the Sham is taking care of me that experience that belief that faith that be talking is what I come to depend on constantly even when faced with very difficult situations let's see um the redox says even if there's a tremendous amount of of encampments that surround me and I'm just very few my heart will not cause me to be fear fearful which is interesting right because a person's heart we don't have such control over our emotions it's it's natural to be afraid but though says that because of his experience or perhaps because of his strengthening of because of his statement Hashem is my light Hashem saves me because of his strengthening that statement he's not afraid everyone's situation is is dire and it's difficult to reach Allah says I see even if they will be an enemy encampment that comes nearby in order to grab me to catch me Loyola I won't be afraid because I'm so certain I'm so certain in my heart that Hashem will not give me over to them if they'll come to battle with me to kill me one is to capture one is to kill either way says I am absolutely certain that they won't succeed I'm sorry the name Robin even if there will be an encampment from the Nations even though they are they are not Jewish they're from the nations of the world and they are many and I need to come to war with them we need to which battle with them I need to protect my country I need to protect police or the Jewish people I'm certain in this what's this so the passion is a simple understanding is it's referring back to that which he said previously which is Hashem I'm certain in this I reinforce my trust in Hashem because I've seen that he is my light and he saves me CH says what does this mean s because he's already grown his soul has has flowered and developed in his pitachen in his in his belief in Hashem his recognition that Hashem is with him and he strengthened into his nature it became second nature to him that he trusts in Hashem and he fears Hashem and he knows he's doing what's right and he knows that has been talking works and when he trust in Hashem it works like we said so even though there is so many people who are coming out against him there are so many uh such a big army that's coming out to battle with him he's not afraid initiative attack because he trusted in that which he mentioned that Hashem is my light Hashem is my salvation now let's see a bit of a deeper understanding of this and that is that what is the business what does it mean perhaps we can say Hashem is my light and Hashem is my salvations the word irie which means my light can also mean my teacher a Moira is a teacher someone who teaches someone who guides so we'll see what is this that we trust in it's the Torah it's the terror itself it's the laws that Hashem has given us spends 22 times I believe it's eight silken in you know all of the letters of the alphabet es all through tests 119 in Psalms talking about the power of Terror the beauty of Torah how he was so dedicated to studying hashem's word again says it's referring to the nations of the world if they come and want to do battle against me lo you really be my heart is not afraid what does he mean I trust in this foreign to it it's something that's so clear it's so apparent it's so obvious it's sitting right in front of us it's so clear look through history 3 300 years the Jewish people are around this is the terror this is what keeps Us Alive these are the ingredients for success in life I trust I trust in the Torah I trust in hashem's law I trust in his guidance I trust in his unbelievable rules for engagement with the world brings the character is just quoted foreign in these two verses King David is teaching us the advantage of the terror the power of the terror ism somebody was involved in Torah studying the Torah mulling the turret trying to understand the terror trying to unearth the hidden secrets of the Torah so such a person merits to have two great advantages one is an apparent advantage and that is that there's an advantage for the physical body I have a physical advantage on a simple level we can say I'm a happy person I'm I've clear what my goals are in life if I'm accomplishing I'm accomplishing within the tire I'm accomplishing spiritual accomplishments foreign the second point the second Advantage is something which we don't see here and that is the accomplishment that I have waiting for me the reward that's waiting for me in the world to come so now he explains the fact that Domino's is studying the Torah the fact that he is learning and I would add teaching the fact that King David he was a bison he was the one whom people came to to ask their Shadows ask their questions the fact that this is what his involvement was his main mukama what was his main battle it wasn't the hunter or even battling with his enemies it was the Battle of the state of Terror but in the Merit of the fact that he was involved in learning Torah that was the Merit that allowed him that his enemy should fall beneath him he's not afraid of them that's what he said in this person I'm not going to be afraid if the enemies come to do better with me because I have the school super Terror I have the Merit of studying the Torah that will stand for me protect me and bring about my success and I would add the word right the word which means battle the root of the word is also which is the battle but it's also lakhan which means bread because there's also a certain battle for our bread right about a person whose asek is Torah his involvement is in Torah so he will have success in that battle as well the fruit of the tower the result of studying Torah is that when the enemies are destroyed because man shall use realizing materials this is a general principle look through look through Tanakh as long as the Jewish people were involved in studying Torah being faithful to Torah being faithful in their relationship they constantly overcame their enemies as a result again of them being involved in learning Torah protected them from all of their enemies now I would like to read to you two pieces here one's called the food says it's from the foods Yehuda the rush his name is listen to the beauty how beautiful the the way that that the sweet singer King David the sweet singer of Israel the way that he expressed his his foreign and to help us be protected from the Nations around us but there's another level a deeper level and that's the eight Sahara the who is the who is our enemy who has all these minions alongside him trying to take us down that's the a Sahara the evil inclination if the evil inclination comes with all of his minions to try to to try to subdue me to try to destroy me loyali be the sickly my art and my mind will not be afraid because with the help of Hashem my help my my power right he's referring back to the second before is my light that's that's a the light of the intellect is the power of my life with the real power the spiritual power I will be able through the Torah to be able to overcome when I reached this point of incredible victory is when another battle will come with another challenge will come the fact that I already succeeded in battle that will help me in my future battles because the there's a there's something about that Nissan that victory that stays forever right always means Victory as in the word netsak which is forever what about the victories forever and it stands for me in every other battle I'm going to face meaning the fact that it should help me in the past I can always use that again in the future if I know that Hashem help me then I can be assured that he's going to help me now where is this is exactly what we find that King David says in regards to what he fought against golias goliathlete what did he say comes to shall mail he says I think that I can battle glorious why why do you think that is because I already had success in battle with a lion and with a bear oh yeah this is a was uncircumcised plishti philistine they'll be no different than them so the push-up Shadow means he saw that he had said he saw that he had a Divine help in in battling with the lion with the bear so he knew that he would have to line up again in regards to golias there's another level that hidden in his words is when he says that I overcame the line on the bear doesn't just mean the physical line and the physical bear but it's a reference evil inclination a shared Ariba mrim that the the evil inclination hides in the shadows like a lion and he stands in Ambush she waits an ambush like a bear I mean he said one of your fair name King David was somebody who was a passionate person he had red hair which indicated his passion he had beautiful eyes he was a good looking person despite that he knew about himself that he was able to conquer his evil inclination and he was even fashioned when he was created when he was when he was conceived there was a certain sin in his conception which affected him spiritually but he knew that he was able to overcome all these challenges he had determination he had dedication he cared about his spiritual aspects again if he knew that he could conquer himself he'd conquer his own nature certainly he could conquer others a powerful idea foreign he can overcome himself he can overcome this Philistine he has the spiritual power he knows he can overcome him as well incredible so the basis according to the basis of his of his recognition of his power of His courage of his bitachham was because he had used it already he had or perhaps he had developed it already through his conquering it through his conquering of himself through his conquering of his base nature lastly it brings the Joshua Rush through it this is something we mentioned before it's important to to reiterate and to understand would go out to war when he would wage battle Royale wasn't like a king Napoleon Bonaparte who wants to be the ruler of the world it wasn't like that it wasn't like he's trying to make a name for himself to be famous to spread his to spread his greatness to the whole world the entire purpose of his battles was only in order that they should be protected that they should be safe that they should be able to not be worried about all of those around them all the nations that surround them like the ties of the shifter in the earlier Generations before King David so there were battles where the Mojave people with the plushti people and they were constantly being placed under the boot of the Nations around them wanted to create a situation where we didn't have to worry about the enemies around us we are safe from our enemies right it speaks about all of the wars that he has to fight he's not afraid because he trust in Hashem but what comes next which we are reading now so it's important to understand these things what's the continuation he's talking about war and he's talking about oh I just want to sit and learn I only have one request of Hashem I want to be able to sit in the house of Hashem all the days of my life that's exactly foreign this is why he was so positive he was so he was so assured inside of himself he's going to win the war why because it wasn't that he wanted the war itself it was because he wanted to have complete quiet he wanted to have he wanted to have rest from the pressure of the Nations around him why for one reason so he could serve Hashem so he could sit in the house of Hashem in quiet and in peace and be able to study and learn and reinforce is thank you so much for listening we'll see you again next time
