Bitachon 86 - It's About Our Relationship

you're listening to the 86th edition of the Beethoven podcast continuing took him from here's a possuk in chapter 25 verse 2. my God I trusted in you I will not be embarrassed let my enemies not rejoice over me so the radak says King David is telling God as it were in all of my matters I trusted in you therefore my prayers let me not be embarrassed quinoa when King David asked for his needs very interesting idea here we asked fornis because we we need stuff we want God to provide us with our needs but King David when he asked for his needs it wasn't in order that he get his needs per se he wanted his needs too but the main intention the main motivation for his prayer was not to attain his needs he wanted to attain bitachen he wanted to be able to say as it were to those around him I trusted in God and God came through Hashem he doesn't want to be embarrassed when he trusts in Hashem King David doesn't want to be embarrassed that when he trusts in Hashem he his husband disappointed and hand in hand with this request King David was saying let my enemies not rejoice because I wasn't answered meaning the enemies of the spiritual ones the enemies of those who trust in Hashem when we trust in Hashem our enemies would like us to come back empty-handed they would like to prove look God doesn't exist God does not answer prayers God doesn't care about human beings God is aloof heaven forbid o said please answer my prayers so that they can't say that they can't laugh at me so that I can strengthen my be talking right every time I have faith in Hashem every time I look and I realize God was there helping me he was with me strengthens my ability to be talking further so that was the prayer of King David I trust in you should let me not be embarrassed please help me that might be talking to work my enemies not rejoice over me instead of stuff it says so according to them but it's not as much a prayer as a statement it's a statement that I trusted in you and because I trusted in you I knew ishi I knew that I would not be embarrassed and my enemies would not rejoice in my downfall because there would be no downfall so as he was making more of a statement I trusted a new Hashem King David is giving us Direction based on his own experience I trusted in Hashem I knew I wouldn't be embarrassed I knew my enemies would not rejoice in my downfall next possuk deposit can tell him chapter 26 verse 1 L David right it's the it's the beginning of a poem which was written by King David Hashem judge me God I I went with simpleness I went with Simplicity I went with God with no conditions I will not I will not the word Ahmad according to the Target means which means I won't I won't Shake I won't be frightened I won't I won't be I won't be afraid but then says it's means that it's a language of slipping I won't slip I went with you simply Hashem I'm not gonna be afraid I'm not gonna falter I'm not gonna shake I'm not going to tremble there's the word I'm looking for shaftany Hashem says King David judge me interestingly right we don't ordinarily we don't think about we don't want to ask God to judge us because who can say that we're properly righteous in his eyes but King David was very confident in himself and he knew himself and he knew that his faith in God was very powerful very strong so he said look at my heart and see if my heart is straight to you right cloudy soil is called Israel which there are those who explained that it means yashar Cal we go straight to God I my heart is straight to you I'm only thinking about you Hashem obtaining so Judge Me based on how my heart is I went with perfection I went the word time doesn't just mean Perfection doesn't just mean simple it means with innocence I went innocently clever but time lavavi Oli another explanation of this is it means with all of my heart with with the Simplicity of my heart with the with the completeness of my heart and all that I had I trusted in you therefore it's not appropriate that I should should shake that I should slip I don't know exactly if it's a prayer again or a statement but it sounds to me like it's a statement it's a statement that hashama trusted in you I'm a person trusts in you and therefore when I trust in you I know I can do anything I can go anywhere I can I'm not afraid I'm not going to slip I'm not gonna trip foreign is saying is that I trusted God with a very powerful Trust such that I would never slip away from him ever that's how powerful this might be talking which reminds me of the idea the altar of novartik says the approach of the altar novartik which explains that in the altar of the verdict's world there was no such thing as a time or a place that a person couldn't trust in Hashem there's no such thing as a person who could be yakovino he always had me talking there's no such thing as not having be talking it sounds like government is saying a similar idea according to the Malibu I trust in Hashem so strong I will never ever slip away from him or could be a prayer God I trusted in you please let me never slip away from you either way the power of you talking is that it attaches us in such a powerful way to God foreign I trusted in Hashem that God should help me that my heart should be whole it should be complete interesting there there there's this idea of time right says I went with Simplicity but the word to me can also mean wholeness right it was a whole person a complete person says it was a prayer was asking please God help me that I should be able to have a full heart a complete heart I can't let my Oddity and that's why I didn't slip away from you because it might be talking and because of this prayer which you answered it would seem to be according to Evan Ezra you answered the prayer God help me to have a complete heart to to right what does it mean to have a complete art just for a moment thinking about what does it mean to have a complete heart right say s right it says you should love Hashem with all of your heart what does it mean all of your heart doesn't even mean your heart it means with all your hearts it's plural it should be Libra with all of your heart right so our sages tell us that it means you should love Hashem with both of your hearts we have two hearts we have a part of ourselves which wants to be spiritual which wants to be connected to God we have a part of ourselves which is more bass which is more interested in physical pleasures physical survival right as I'll say you should serve Hashem with both aspects of yourself with both of your hearts and so what does it mean to have a Time leave to have a complete hardest life I ask Hashem you should be able to serve and Believe show him it means that there's there's a way to reconcile the contradictions between my lower self my lower desires and my higher desires of a desire for spirituality I also have a desire to eat good food but what do I do with that food can I incorporate a desire for food into my spirituality can I say look I'm gonna enjoy good food so that I can be calm and collected and be able to serve Hashem properly so that I can have the the strength to be able to serve God and to be able to learn his story to be able to do spiritual things right so that's called time leave it's called complete heart so be talking interestingly he's supposed to get teaching us to be talking is a means for us to be able to place our faith in Hashem to have trust in him that he should complete our heart that our hearts should be complete and whole without contradictions within ourselves without contradictions between our motivations all our motivations should be directed towards God very interesting very beautiful all right let's see the next a lot of these are quite short but packed with good ideas with with strengthening our faith in Hashem so the plastic says this is a famous public we say it every day so you only be I'm sorry we say it every day in hello right it's from Zion 27th chapter of the hillemo um if a great encampment will come along and they'll they'll they're they're coming it's an encampment of war and my heart will not be afraid if they will get up to do war with me I place my trust in my trust in this sister um right I don't have to be afraid even if there's many of my enemies and there's only a few of us the Jewish people are very small very small people surrounded by Nations much stronger and larger but I'm Not Afraid My Heart Is Not Afraid why because I trust in Hashem might be talking in Hashem is much bigger much greater much more powerful than the numbers than the numbers if you look at the numbers from a scientific perspective they don't look very good but it doesn't go by numbers because my it goes by my relationship with Hashem says King David foreign what am I trusting and what is this I trust in this it's King David telling us that he trusts in this that he said above Hashem at the very beginning of the psalm he says she God is my light he is my salvation would I need to be afraid of Hashem is the strength of my life so even though the odds seem stacked against me I'm Not Afraid this is King David I'm not afraid because Hashem is my strength there's another pasok in the next chapter until mogini God is my strength he's my shield right we talk about the mugging David The Shield of David right who's the shield of David it's not the uh the Israeli flag although it's a beautiful flag but the shield the mugging of it The Shield of David which we referred to in the brackets in aftura and Shabbos every week Again David is a kurdishburg who is the one who protects King David he protected him and he protects us my strength God is my shield blah blah be my heart trusted in him I was helped you're Loosely be my heart rejoiced with such beautiful words my for my song I will praise him foreign was my strength my shield from my enemies I didn't even need to wage war I didn't need to fight just by trusting in Hashem my heart trusted in Hashem I was saved it wasn't it had nothing to do with any actions that I took it had nothing to do with my ability to fight it had nothing to do with my tactical weapons nothing to do with that it had only to do with one thing my trust in Hashem King David speaking the great warrior the ibane Ezra Hashem was Rooney Robin says something very interesting right the Posse here says I trust in Hashem he was my shield he and and he helped me I was helped so since the Ebenezer what does it mean I was helped it means I trusted in Hashem I didn't trust in human beings and yet still I can be helped by human beings why because God is the one who commands them to help me right so I can be Hashem as many Hashem is many Messengers that he can use to help me with um I will thank god with songs from the songs that I've said King David was the the balmanagan the name is Israel the one who said the beautiful beautiful songs amongst the people of Israel to this day we still sing his songs maybe with different Tunes today we're still singing his songs King David knew you have to talk and you trust in Hashem you're gonna sing you're going to sing those songs okay let's see the time here okay we have another few minutes so nice yes here's another plastic also in tehilam chapter 31 verse 7. I hated those who were waiting for foolish emptiness I just trusted in Hashem it's very strong language I hated those who waited for foolish emptiness they depended on other things I just placed my faith in Hashem so what is what is King David telling us the mom I'm sorry first rashi rashi explains the show it's happened those who trust in their idols they trust in their Idols their Idols will save them they give a sacrifice to the to the idol they trust in the allele the malum says foreign Robin says that not just referring as Rashi says to those who trust in their Idols but there's another Idol it's called a human being if I trust in other human beings it might not work out so well says I I hated those who trust in human beings I hated those who trusted in their idols and I think it's a very important idea here because as we've spoken about be talking to something which is emotional it's a Feeling sometimes in order to like we say anymore to bore that feeling into myself I need to use strong language I need to convince myself I have faith I have been talking in Hashem it's gonna be good things are gonna work out well so we even have to say to ourselves I hate those who trust in human beings I hate those who trust in Idols I hate those who do not trust in Hashem even Ezra it's when I see a shame Muhammad even as it says referring to those who use they use they look at the astrological signs or they speak to necromancers they find that information in an unwholesome way is this going to be a good day to go out to war will I succeed today what is my astrological sign say no one else says I hate that I hate that I don't I don't go for that I trust an Hashem whether I'll succeed it's up to him I trust in Hashem that I will succeed we're dark so Nancy very interesting perhaps we'll end with this idea he says you know I was running away from I was running away from King Saul I didn't try to figure out why is it that I'm getting punished in this way what have I done wrong why am I being sent on these difficult travails why am I what I have to go through these in cyanos would have to go through these problems why do I have to run away why do I have to go through all of this is I didn't need to go to any kind of astrologers or or or those who explain things to explain why exactly going through this trusted in Hashem okay those who threw their magical powers perhaps cool airplane passing by those who threw their magical powers perhaps are able to figure things out I hate that that's not that's not how I do things the way that I do things is that I trust in Hashem El Hashem vanilla Allah very interesting the word means to Hashem I trust that means I trusted in Hashem I place my trust upon God so a lot of ideas here a lot of beautiful ideas having to do with the depth of bittajan type will be talking the results will be talking no embarrassment the the strength that we have when we trust in Hashem we need not trust in anybody else some will send those that we need to help us they will come but we're placing our trust in Hashem that's what we have for today thank you so much for listening we'll see you again next time
