you're listening to the 131st edition of the me talking podcast and we are back in Arizona we are back in the safer with the soaking and I'd like to share with you the next section the next project which is in chapter 28 verse 7. up till King David says God is my strength he is my shield my heart trusted in him I was helped by a Leslie B my heart rejoiced um and from my song I will thank him it's a beautiful password so many different aspects in this position my power he's my protector I trusted him with my art he helped me my heart rejoiced been sing to him says whatever it says whenever King David says Hashem is my strength woozy my strength it means the Thai Cafe we find in German 16 verse 19. it means Hashem is the one who gives me my power is an interesting thing King David is saying perhaps we can understand it's based on what we've been discussing our last few weeks give strength to everyone give strength to everything Hashem is the sustaining force of all of creation but Hashem gives more strength to me King David says Hashem gives me strength so I assume it's going to um Hashem is my power Hashem is my strengths when I why is what what right so to speak does King David have to say that Hashem gives me more strength than others I think it's very simple I think the understanding is very perhaps we could say obvious based on what we've been studying and discussing himself he knew he was righteous he knew through all his tests in life through all his challenges he turned Hashem he knew that he did what was right he did he fulfilled the terror he was involuntary as he speaks about at length 100 and until 119. he loved the Torah he was involved in time he was studying the Toyota he was a judge for the for the Jewish people in matters of halacha and matters of Jewish law he knew that he had a right so to speak to to claim that Hashem gives him strengths in an individual way more than others to the degree that we keep the title keep the midst of the mitzes are our strength we spoke about how the rule of represents it's like a it's like a sword we have won the battle with the Sara we won on Yom Kippur Hashem gave the Jewish people a good judgment a positive judgment he forgiveness of our sins are the satang did not win we won but the besides for the fact that we won the the Mitzvahs are our sword they are our strengths uh Jacob says when he says that I was able to conquer the city of Chicago he gives it to Joseph he conquered it with his with his sword and with his bow and arrow one of these things are sages means with his prayers with his Fearless with his with his Tyrone with this study of the law when we are fulfilling the Commandments we are we are striving to do God's will we are guaranteed we are guaranteed that we will have what we need some promises makes mention of this and and takes claim he claims the strength the unique power that Hashem gives the person who is trying to do God's will he gets special power says this is a very important point I put my trust in Hashem alone I know who pays my my masquerade and okay is my wages I know it's my boss but I don't trust my boss I know that my boss can fire me in a second I know where the money comes so I know it comes from this job that job whatever it is I know that intellectually but where do I place like my face on whom do I rely are Hashem alone I only trust in Hashem there will be many others who will help me as well Hashem will send many Messengers to help me but it's Hashem himself who is helping me through the Messengers he brings you a story from the altar of the vardik let's see it inside kanira evidence it seems that even Ezra is learning from the language of public says I was helped nifa is a language of nifa which means that it happened to me I was helped it happened to me that I was helped because saying of his his trust his faith his confidence in Hashem he was helped by others as him sent others to help him so we learned from this that we need to recognize Kia is that when let's say you're walking along and yeah you have a constitutional you have a flat tire of the highway and someone stops to help you that's Hashem that's God sending that person is saying Hashem is my strength he is my protector didn't have uh soldiers in his army he didn't have uh guards to protect him of course he did but he acknowledged that those are just the superficial aspects of hashem's help it's really Hashem gave him the soldiers it's really Hashem who gave him the guards he brings the story from the altar of levaric a cozy pair this is the story and it's going to say at the end that that was the author of The varic there was a particular Jew sitting in the train station the train came he didn't get up to go onto the train ing one of the other Jews who was standing there waiting for the train came over to him he said why aren't you going on to the Train the other alternative answered if he said I need a ticket to go on the train I don't have any money if you don't have any money what are you doing here like why are you sitting here the altar replied yeah I'm sitting here and it's interesting because this is a classic move that the students of the verdict used to used to actually practice their their be talking like doing this he said look uh someone's gonna send me a ticket foreign first time second time third time it's about to leave if you're already here the sound of the of the steam engine it was making heavy loud sounds and I would add maybe the smoke was coming out of the smokestack well the feta over there The udemy Roots a Jew passes by running by and he says to the to the altar of the varic who's sitting there and having be talking what are you sitting here for I learned a cabinet so this guy is running in says what are you doing why are you sitting here get on the train you know take it ears to take him that's what he did and they started to travel foreign the person who had made fun of the alternative Arc and said what are you doing why are you sitting around what are you having me talking for he came over to me and he says to him this morning doesn't mean that I said what a fool you are this is what the Real Fool said to the altar of the verdict yeah how can you depend on your be talking if this Jew would have been one second later you wouldn't have been able to get on the train foreign was about he finished the story and he says he said loving comes to Yakov as yaakov and his wives are returning to the light of Israel and Lovin has a dream and now Hashem Don't touch yaakov don't even don't even think about it elawin says I can hurt you if I want the next day he says to yaakov your God appeared to me last night but I can hurt you if I want that's ridiculous of course you can't excuse me the fool looks at the story and it says if the guy every talking was foolish because they might not have showed up he could have if we would have come a second later you would have missed the train but the fool doesn't notice the guy came one time and the alternator already got on the train Hashem sent him his needs just in time and it's interesting this is a theme we spoke about previously that often it seems like the help comes in the last second and the way that I understand it is that it doesn't have to be that way the money can come long before it has to do with how much we talking we have it's easiest in a certain sense to have me talking when we feel hard-pressed when we feel like oh my gosh I'll show you have to help me to get to that level of be talking of confidence that Hashem is going to help me or that level of desperation I would say hashem's help doesn't always happen until the last second but no matter what if we could have looked at the alternative Arctic space was he was he nervous I don't think that he was nervous was he pressured I don't think he felt pressure was he pressured he was pressured he had to get on the train but he didn't feel pressure he knew the money was gonna he knew the in this case the ticket was going to come because very interesting but the point of this whole story that he brought it here in the notes was to teach us that it might look like it's a human being bringing it bringing the ticket bringing the money giving us our our paycheck but it's not and we we naturally look at the person who's giving us the money as the person like the person but it's really Hashem then we need to remind ourselves of that is King David says I trusted only in Hashem okay that's the immunizer now let's hear that I'll shift it is since the fact is Hashem is my strength of a protector from the time that I trusted in him if I will tell Tyler my heart felt confident in him I was helped for the heavens immediately shall not only turn that crop she answered me before I even called out to him the the Australia says something very interesting sometimes if you spoke about this as well in the past it's all important to review and to reinforce within ourselves sometimes I ask Hashem for something sometimes I'll be talking it's gonna happen that doesn't happen right away right like the alternative he's sitting there waiting for the tickets didn't happen right away then that was the last second still hasn't come Hashem has already decided it's gonna happen and I believe that Hashem has already decided it's going to happen foreign or I see later that he helps me but how did I know to become in the meantime how did I know to feel a sense of calm before that foreign the reason is because I started singing I started rejoicing in my art from the moment that I trusted they hear this amazing level of guitar and this is what we talking is supposed to look like after mention that that uh I was in New York visiting the Far Rockaway area and it was for about two and a half hours during a series and I was asking a question related to be talking up to an Utica in my life that will require a greater a greater amount of income what's the correct approach to it and can I continue with the same method of me talking as I've worked with before do I have to change anything from the question that he asked me was based on a story it's still a story that had happened in the women's be talking group one of the members of the women's be talking group wrote the story and sent it to Tamara shashiva exercise was also printed I believe in hamodea and the story is that she decided that she was going to be talking she wasn't getting married she decided she was going to have me talking absolute confidence and assuming she was not going to do any ish studless she wouldn't do any efforts in order to bring about that her husband that she would meet the guy she's supposed to marry she just had absolute completely taught him said to me that she felt complete confidence she felt completely relaxed this is really important because this is what we talking looks like there's a relaxation and it's not it looks to somebody who's never had you talking it looks like you're not being responsible this is also the discussion and I asked for Russia how do you know if you're being irresponsible or you're just trusting in Hashem and we the the conclusion that we had was that it's something that no one can answer that question for you it's something that you know inside of yourself but there was a sense of calm Hashem sent her husband her groom Hashem today they're married this is a story for the last few months absolutely complete been talking absolute confidence sense of relaxation a sense everything is going to be not just going to be whatever it is not just whatever it is everything is going to be good the one who's meant to come is Gonna Come amazing but some relationship asked me how do you feel like what's your feeling inside when you have to be talking do you feel like a load was taken off of your shoulder to feel like a load was taken off of your shoulder that's what the al-shita saying when I trusted in Hashem a load was taken off of me I hadn't yet seen the salvation but I felt like it's it's not in my hands it's in the best hands possible it's an hashem's hands it's because I already sensed that Hashem is answering me Hashem is helping me foreign this is similar to what we spoke about previously three weeks ago we spoke about the fact that yeah Hashem strengthens um I've been actually saying this I asked during Allah I say Hashem and strengthen my Hashem sends down from the source from the root of my soul into me immediately a joy in my heart from him Hashem gives me this call list so I'm not only going to thank Hashem for fulfilling my request and not just for the fact that he's listening to my supplications afterwards also he transformed the sadness that I had inside of me when I when I asked for the thing I needed when I was when I was supplicating before him he transformed that into a song but make sure Allah my heart was rejoicing even before I got the words out of my mouth I already felt hashems taking care of me so you see Charlotte I sang Dash him immediately I will also from the song itself I will praise him the song itself the fact that I'm singing is something that I Want To Praise Hashem about beautiful thank you God that you answered my supplications thanking Hashem that Hashem answered his prayers name was my strength in front of the Jewish people interesting King David is saying I didn't even need to go out to battle right now this is the the you're talking to the author in the varic I didn't even need to do any status I didn't even to do anything I didn't need to go out to battle and I won anyway because it might be talking because of my confidence because of my trust in Hashem you got me at least I didn't do anything usually a person feels like look I'm involved in it I I was participating in the success I should have gave me the strength to win but here's another milk like I didn't even go out to battle but I won anyway the enemy just fell in front of me because lied them flat land flat on their faces so I shouldn't have a I shouldn't have a feeling like I want but I won't I feel like I won maybe it's because I had to be talking or maybe allowed me to feel like it was my success as well last last idea here from the base of Levy which we studied together but it's in this context as well it's worth repeating again this is so important when I have been talking it doesn't just mean that I don't take action right the Mesa Levy holds like the alternative Arctic they'll be talking means without ishtadas but what am I doing how am I feeling when I don't take action without taking the action I can't be that in my heart that's the only wanting wanting wanting wanting wanting that's not called that you trust in your heart the acre I'll be talking tally believe me be talking means how you feel when you have been talking it means I feel confident I feel calm okay Levi returning you skating with slaving presents hard and his desires need to be relaxed quiet shouldn't want anything you feel like I have everything already I already have everything thinking I should have everything I need that's what beautiful looks like that's the feeling of it's awesome it should be so confident in his that is going to get everything that he needs for his benefits until it's it nullifies its own desire because the desire doesn't even come up inside of him that's a very powerful high level but something to to yearn for eign desire is whatever Hashem desires for them thank you so much for listening see you again next time
