you're listening to the 142nd edition of the podcast and we will continue right now in chapter 33 verses 21 and 22 of tahim of Psalms and we have tsim back to back that speak about speak about our faith inem the first pk speaks in third person and says in him in God will our heart Rejoice for we have trusted in His holy name when we trust in hashem's holy name we are guaranteed that we'll have great simp we have great joy in the following we say to hem directly first person Hashem let your kindness be upon us cuz and let let it be upon us now the word we'll see can be understood in a few different ways but let your kindness be upon us perhaps because of the fact that we have trusted you or in accordance with how much we have trusted you in any event we ask Hashem to to be kind to us because we have trusted and what is the result of that trust the result as we saw in the first pic is great joy now let's see together some of what the maam say thead says when hem saves us from negative realities our heart will rejoice as we saw previously when we recognize when we realize Hashem is with us that hasm is helping us that Hashem is saving us so the resulting recognition of hasem occurs the thanks that we have for God for his kindness is very great causes great joy exactly what the means I'm not precisely sure but I'll give it a shot once we recognize that the ation came from Hashem so it causes us joy and why does this come in the first place it's because we trusted in hashem's name to begin with and now there's two possible ways to understand what the Rak is saying one is that by trusting in Hashem the result is that we receive our salvation and that we therefore Rejoice that's one one way of understanding it another way of understanding it it is that because we are trusting in hem we are looking out for the fact we are searching for we are bound to recognize that he's the one who's doing it and that causes great joy meaning Hashem is doing it anyway in this second understanding Hashem is going to take care of us hm is going to save us the question is do we notice it do we see it so if we're trusting in we will rejoice we will rejoice because we have trusted in you Hashem we will rejoice because we're looking for your hand we're looking for the fact that you are are taking care of us and we believe that you are and we know that you are and you are and we see it more because we think about it this way brings here say what is the idea here when we attach ourselves to hem will remove all our distractions all of our troubles I'm sorry and our intellect our spiritual side will rejoice because we get what we need we get what we want we get our desires and we get to serve Hashem we're in a relationship with God what could be more joyful than that and we will attain this Perfection will attain this Perfection the the Schamus the Perfection that we're speaking about here is the joy the joy of of completeness better than the word Perfection we will attain this completeness because we trusted in God's holy name which is the the holy name of Hashem is the name Y which represents the essence the or the the greatest thing that we can possibly understand as we try to understand God as we try to relate to God Hashem is God was he is he will be he's Beyond time but he is within time which really means and it's the name of Rah is the name of God's mercy so it really means that God is in our lives God is outside of time he's Beyond time he's transcended but at the same time he's inside of the of the reality that we inhabit God is here with us God is taking care of us and so when we recognize that that when we have a relationship with Hashem we recognize that he's merciful god and he's here beside us that's incredible Joy that's that's unbelievable everything is complete we have everything we need cuz Hashem is at our side says when we Merit that we rejoice our heart rejoices I'm sorry if we're on the level so we will rejoice our heart will rejoice as well what does the heart refer to the heart is our emotions the heart is our feelings the heart represents our our nature our our Humanity our our humanness when we are on the level when we are trusting Hashem when we are relating to Hashem so the result is that even the physical aspect of ourselves rejoices rejoices in that relationship where does that Joy come from it comes from an abundance of Faith because we trusted in hem says the the good that Hashem will provide for us won't just be that we won't have problems or that hasm will take away our problems will remove our enemies it's just it's not just going to be a a removal of the negative things in our lives but rather as the next says which we'll study as well the we ask Hashem that his kindness should be with us as we wanted right what does a human being want not just that he shouldn't have any troubles not that just that the challenges that he faces should go away we want to thrive we want to prosper we want to have everything good we want to experience Hashem in our lives we want to experience Prosperity we want to we want everything good for our kids they should succeed in life not just that the troubles that we have should should be removed challenges that we Face should be limited no we want more than that that's what a human being wants so let your kindness be with us as we hoped to you as we really want it to be that's the AL the says says in Hashem will our heart Rejoice because this level of there are different levels of Divine Providence as we spoke about in previous weeks this level that we're speaking about is where we experience a direct divine intervention we we experience we we know it's Hashem doing it we see it we feel it so that kind of experience when it's not only you have to figure out it's not something that comes through another person it's clearly direct Hashem is in my life he's taking care of me that type ofh that type of Divine Providence that type of experience of the human being there's nothing that causes a person to Rejoice more than that says 91:14 I will experience an incredibly prosperous moment prosperous experience CU because Hashem knows my name meaning when I see when I feel Hashem is in my life is taking care of meem is doing for me directly wow that's that's just awesome and how does it come it comes because we trust in hashem's name why does Hashem give us open Divine Providence divine intervention in our lives how do we see it as we've been speaking about it comes because we're looking for it it comes because we're trusting in Him it comes because we're trying to live a life in conance with his will all these things lead to the most incredible Joy experience of godliness in our lives here he brings when we have a chance to do a Mitzvah we have a chance to fulfill one of God's Commandments it should fill us with so much joy it should just we should just be floating we're guaranteed says the we're guaranteed that if we we fulfill hm's will and we make a blessing you Sanctified us with your commandment and you commanded us to do this commandment here we are we're doing it right now we're commanded to involve ourselves in words of Torah Hashem promises wherever you do this wherever you bless him wherever you act in accordance with his will God's bless blessings will come into your life wherever hashem's name is mentioned I will come and I will bless you God says right now we're standing in front of God and we are doing God's will let's say a person would be chosen to be an important person in in the government under a king the king instructs him to take certain actions on behalf of the Kingdom what an honor I'm I'm able to do that for the kingdom wow and the King sees his work sees his accomplishment and the God and and the King says right it's a mush for hasem and the King says very good work unbelievable you have done such a great service for our country how much joy would a person have he would feel So Satisfied you feel so so good certainly in this matter think about it who are we standing in front of right now as we say a word of Torah as we try to fulfill hashem's mitzvah his Commandments who are we standing in front of who are we serving we need to contemplate we're standing in front of the god of the heavens and the Earth he's the master of all the the legions the Heavenly hosts the Angels Above and all of the creatures and all of all of Life he's the master of everything so first of all contemplate the opportunity that I have for a Mitzvah the opportunity that you have for a Mitzvah further contemplate who am I serving I'm serving the creator of the world but not only that this Creator this this awesome being is the one who cares about us he's the one who created this world for us he's the one who takes care of each and every one of us in this world all of my joy and happiness in this world all my success in this world and in the next World depends on hm's help depends on God's assistance so this type of thought this type of contemplation causes a person to Rejoice that's what the P says our heart will rejoice in because we have trusted in Hashem so the the that we have is is like a it's a it's a source of contemplation it's it's a moment of inspiration we're having and we're we're thinking we're contemplating we're in a relationship with the creator of the world we're serving the creator of the world we're striving to understand his will beautiful now the Mal says and him will we Rejoice it's specifically in him that we Rejoice it's only in God that we can really rejoice when we're looking for somebody to help us you can't compare it to the news that you get that that person is going to help you when a person hopes that a person another person will help them and that person does not come through immediately become sad because when there's another human being I don't know for sure that that person will help me I don't know for sure that person can help me maybe that person won't be able to in the end or maybe the person won't want to change his mind but if our trust in if our trust is in so then we can have incredible Joy even though we didn't get immediately that which we desire because when we trust in an absolute confidence will certainly save us His holy name is called upon us we're we're his people we're his Nation his holy nation we fulfill his Mitzvah we fulfill his Commandments certainly he will take care of us says in 14:9 it says your name is called upon us don't let us down don't drop us so we have a guarantee we know Hashem placed his name on us we know that whoever has God's name upon him he guaranteed it's going to be good for him so that's a source once again that trust the type of contemplation the type of recognition is a source for tremendous Joy finally here on this p and we'll continue next week with the p the second the last idea on this P about rejoicing in our trust in he says like this we could explain based on that that which it says say for when he talks about incredible advantages of having somebody who trusts in hem merits to have the mid a character trait of kindness meaning they Merit to have hashem's kindness manifest upon them like the verse says which we studied together someone who trust inem is surrounded by kindness why does this occur why does this happen why does a person Merit to have God's kindness It's because the person believed in God's Great Name we say over here the result of is a life of Joy no worries I don't have to worry about anything I can always be happy see over there 12th chapter he speaks about it at length this is the understanding of the verse this verse our verse that we will rejoice in hasem our heart will rejoice right the art is the place of emotion is the place of naturally feeling worry of feeling sad no sad no sadness no no worry why because we place our trust in hem in hm's name the result of our trust in hem is that we merits to have incredible Joy thank you so much for listening we'll see you again next time
