Bitachon 147 - Bitachon Redeems Us

you're listening to the 147th edition of the podcast we continue in the list the last in chapter 34 of to hillan says as follows Hashem redeems the soul of his servants and those who trust in him Hashem does not find them guilty now it's interesting before we actually study this ping together I'd like to point out that if you look at the chapter of chapter 34 so it's a song that was written by when he was saved he had gone in to he had been captured by a king and he acted like he was crazy and then he was able to escape and he wrote this um this Psalm this toila chapter 34 and it's an alphabetical order so the P hasem this P that we're reading is letter P but it's not in the middle it's at the end after he finishes the entire alphabet so he adds another PK which starts with a pay and I find that interesting because if he didn't leave it with the with the alphabet and he felt that there was something important to say perhaps as a summation of what he was trying to bring across in the in the tahila in that song so it's an message or it's the the foundational message of the entire of the entire chapter so again wants us to know right he's willing to step out of the PO The Poetry the olive B is the order and he wants us to have a bottom line understanding Hashem redeems the soul of his servant and those who trust in him those who trust in hem will not be found guilty so let's see the here the yid says like this he has two different ideas first redeems the Servants of Hashem redeems the sikim the righteous individuals that they don't they don't experience the negative experiences of the wicked when it comes to a person who's an absolute sad he's doing everything right doesn't make mistakes okay there's no such thing as a he doesn't make any mistakes but he does Chua immediately so they're completely redeemed right the first part of the P says that Hashem redeems redeem means to take them out completely there's no there's nothing bad that befalls them what about those who trust in hem who aren't necessarily fully righteous we're trying to be righteous we're trying to be good we're trying to do hm's will but we're not all the way there says the in the first that although it's true that a person may be imperfect naturally but what Hashem does is when we trust in him when we trust in Hashem completely so it has the effect of removing our sins as well hasm doesn't find us guilty in the smaller things that we've done wrong okay so this is I don't remember hearing this so much I don't remember discussing this so much but this is a a side benefit a side benefit of being a is that the removes the guilt right if our Focus I would say it in in another way as well first of all when we have talking we become more righteous hem ignores the negative parts of ourselves number two I would say we have less time to do stuff wrong we have less opportunities to make mistakes why because we're focused on on our relationship with hem and doing what's right and on turning to him and we have to be honest with ourselves if we're turning to Hashem so we got to be the kind of people people who turn to hasem all right so let's go on theid says so this is the second because the first is to do with this world and hasm removes my sin from this world but this is another which which okay we we see all kinds of circumstances in life so so the first shot I'm sorry the second shot is that Hashem redeems the soul of his servants that in the world to come they don't they don't get punished in the world to come why this is a classic idea in Jewish thought if we get our our punishment in this world it's better to to receive youur and to receive difficulties in this world and some now even though it's less the difficulties in this world compared to the spiritual Tri trials and tribulations that are person goes through in this the spiritual World those are much more difficult so it's worth it to receive one's punishment in this world the says that when the righteous witness brings even the sikim they get to pass through the G the gam and they see the evil the wicked people being punished there they give thanks to God and they give praise to God for the trouble and the the pain that they went through in this world in in the Physical Realm says in yesah 12:1 Hashem I will thank you because you got angry at me because I know that when your anger subsides you will console me so there's a challenge a difficulty that we go through in this world on the other end we recognize and we realize and we come to a clear recognition that this was good for us this was for our best he brings here in the note look in on the and it will be when you hear he explains it he explains the P there in a similar style Hashem takes away our our sin takes away our guilt by having us go through difficulties in this world and this is a tremendous kindness there's an idea it's very important very powerful that the way that Hashem deals with the Jewish people when it comes to our punishment so God collects so to speak on the debt of stuff that we've done wrong God collects the debt slowly right if let's say you owe $11,000 10 whatever a huge amount let's say you owe $100,000 so the bank will come and try to collect from you right now it's not going to be possible if I say look I'm going to pay $10,000 a year for 10 years right about $800 $900 a month for 10 years that's something that I can handle so when Hashem comes to collect the debt for the things that we've done wrong he does slowly he spreads it out over time this is a tremendous kindness that God does when it comes to the to the punishment for our sins that he collects slowly when it comes to the nations of the world hasm is a different he interacts with them differently what he does is he allows there's a concept of the the the cup is full the the cup of Retribution is full hasem holds back he lets the the nations of the world do their thing so to speak he lets them get away with it so to speak but then when it gets to the to the Tipping Point it gets to the point where it's just too much so thenm lets it all out on them at the same time he destroys them completely but the Jewish people hasem spreads out the punishment this says the is what I believe mean when they say P says in there are many troubles there many evil things that befall the righteous but hashm saves them from all of them which means that they don't experience the full blow they don't feel like they don't experience like a one shattering blow at the same all at one moment but rather the experience of the sadic the righteous call Israel generally Jewish people generally but the Rous individual also hasem takes the payment in small measures R when it comes to the wicked individual hasem tramples him trampled this is what it means in the P when it says those who hate the righteous will be will be will be uh he's understanding the same the word that we have here which I translated to mean they won't be found guilty so he's understanding it to mean something different he's understanding to mean that the the person who trusts in hem will not be trampled will not be you know squashed because of his sins the evil individual the wicked person the one who hates the righteous that person hasem Waits hasem Waits and then he they get destroyed completely okay so that's the contrast between the righteous and the the Rous individual or the B the troubles that we experience are me it out to us in in in a measured way which was was not the case by someone who's Wicked and let's recall I think it's important to mention whatever we get all the things that we experience in our lives don't we don't always understand it but everything that happens to us is for our best theor says like this Hashem redeems the soul of his servants from sinning to him meaning a person person's human we're human we try to do what's wrong Hashem protects thead person who's a righteous person person who's striving to be God's servant that person Hashem helps them that they shouldn't even sin for Hashem will take away this is an amazing thing hasem gives hm gives Divine assistance to us if we're trying to do his will Hashem removes from us the M the the stumbling block that could cause us to fall prevents us from doing something sh helps us that we shouldn't end up doing something wrong which is the opposite of our intent our intent is to do what's right so hem helps us along the way that we shouldn't end up getting brought down the the stumbling blocks are removed it's like imagine you're walking through a forest here we are in the forest imagine you're walking through the forest and like you're just watching as the brush someone is removing the brush from in front of you knocking down trees knocking down bushes so that you can walk through on a nice path that's how Hashem does it when a person strives to serve hasem properly when a person is trust in hem so the path is cleared for him now he brings for righteous individuals even if they are if they stumble in a matter which is between between humans between one man and his fellow social issue let's say I hurt someone's feelings or let's say I called someone damage but I can't find the person the person moved to a different city person is not around for whatever reason I went somewhere else helps the person who's trying to do what's right trying to fix the mistakes that he's made ASM helps the person that they that you trip over the person you go you're you're on a trip somewhere and that person just happens to be there like writes that this type of situation Hashem helps the person in the note here brings the the language of says what should a person do if it's hard for them to to repent we can say to answer this question if let's say a person did a sin it's very hard to fix for example it can't find the person that he wronged listen to this because it's very connected to if I accept upon myself to do chva completely as best as I can I'm all the way there just like the b is all the way in his confidence in he does everything in his his ability he looks through the phone book to find the person's name he doesn't find it he you know goes to the archives I don't know whatever again same idea Hashem makes it easier for the person to do chuva the thing that is hard to achieve can't find the person it's it's too hard to to fix the problem that I created hasem helps him hasem will help him to be able to fix the mistake that he made if it's something that I overcharged somebody or stole some monetary matter will provide me with how am I supposed to pay the guy back I stole the money but I don't have the money to pay him if you are determined to to fix that which you've done wrong hasem will provide you with the money that you need to pay the guy back and he's not even going to forgive me I I did such a terrible thing to him Hashem will help you that he will forgive you and if a person caused damage to his friend monetarily or or on his or physically will help will help that that person should feel love and and I would say a person is really sincere when a person sincerely comes to somebody else you sense it but he's saying an additional thing that hem gives you God helps you okay so it's huge it's a huge thing Hashem redeems us when we've done something wrong he doesn't he doesn't allow us to to wallow in guilt to be stuck in the thing that we've done wrong he helps us that we should be able to get out of it we have special if we take it all away amazing okay now he brings the the question is why do we find that someone is righteous and bad things happen to them why do we find that someone that's wicked and good things happen to them Hashem redeems the soul of his servants who is this is talking about the people of Israel how does Hashem save us from from troubles hasm sometimes does something which looks like the opposite sometimes leaves us in a state of difficulty in a state of poverty in a state of being uncomfortable I would say or physically in physical pain okay why because it it helps us why is it that the wicked person doesn't get trampled sometimes he doesn't he doesn't get what he seems to deserve what does it mean he says a huge thing it says an amazing thing such AES sometimes Hashem does the opposite of the way that it seems it should be sometimes in our lives things are the opposite of the way that it should be just so we can work on the ability to know to trust that Hashem is in charge of Our Lives because the reward for trusting that Hashem is in charge of Our Lives is huge sometimes good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people why so that it's a test of faith and our job is to to face off with that and continue to believe to continue to trust that all that happens is from Hashem and and the reward for that kind of belief is is immeasurable that's the Al last point from the IM y he says I heard from my teacher this is a classic idea that says it's important to know both sides argues but says right can I have talking I'm not doing what's right if I'm a if I'm wicked can I have so says what a fool you trust in hem but you're you're you're pushing away the will of hem at the same time if a person transgresses the laws of it's a contradiction to on to go and to do the opposite of hm's will that's the so holds a wicked person who trust onm doesn't work says it's not true this does not find guilty those who trust in him not somebody like me the the holy not somebody like you anybody call anybody even me and you even regular people not the biggest s when we trust in hasem hasem takes Away The Sins thank you so much for listening see you again
