you're listening to the 90th edition of the be talking podcast and we continue in soaking from King David awesome things with righteousness you shall answer usaino the god of our salvation you are the one who is trusted by all of those from the ends of the Earth to the distant Seas foreign you are the one who people escape to right person feels challenged feels like they're in a difficult situation they need somewhere to go right actually we run to our parents and we're children we run to our friends when we're a little bit older but who do we go to where do we run to Hashem is the monois he's the one who to whom we run all of those and on the ends of the Earth wherever they are from one end to the other Kim says even those who are very distant on the Seas and this could mean two possible things it could either mean those who are in ships on the sea and that's more obvious why they need help they trust you are the one who they trust because your power is everywhere right but it could also mean the those who live on the islands in the sea if we think if we think about those who live in the islands in the sea so they're much more caught up cut off from all of humanity right naturally when you live in a country that people around if you can't during shemitah let's say it's hard to get fruit it's hard to get vegetables whatever it is you can get it from a neighboring country you can bring it in from somewhere else right but if you live on an island and you have trouble of some sort it's much harder to find help naturally where did the island dwellers turn they turn Tasha mutsura stuff it says you are the one who is trusted by all those who dwell Forest reaches of the Earth and on the distant oceans the bottom line of the plastic the bottom line is the teaching of King David is that where do people turn there are no atheists and foxholes where do people naturally turn people naturally turn to Hashem they turn to God because where else can we turn to right that's the it's a natural human instinct to depend on Hashem and I think that that's him to do in the next possibly that's brought here which is in Psalms chapter 71 verse You Are My Hope Hashem my God you're the one who I trusted for my youth key this is the the immunizer I have no other hope besides for you Hashem in the same way I always hoped to you I always had a sense inside that if there's someone who's going to take care of me the Sun is going to save me it's going to be you know right that's what it means in the position is saying I trusted in you from my youth from my from the youngest days and you can see this in children there's a natural sense of trust perhaps it's because they they know everything is taken care of by their parents so when their parents speak about it Hashem takes care of us you know we we naturally interact with God the way that we interact with our parents our relationship with our with our parents is often an example of how we feel towards Hashem but a child is completely held within the arms of their parents so to speak so naturally they trust and Hashem easier time having right she was saying that even now I trust in you with childlike innocence I still trust in you the way that I trusted me when I was a child which is an incredible thing but even more than that I would say it means that you have been my mif talk right it doesn't say it says which would mean I trusted in you since I was young it says you're the one who I came to trust or the one who uh fulfilled my trust from a young age was saying that I have I have an experience of Hashem my experience of Hashem is that I trust in him and he responds in kind right so one of the things that I mentioned previously is also recently shared with me that this was an important point that was taken out of the Italian podcasts and that is that when you're looking that hashem's hand is in your life when you're looking for it you're going to see it much more and ask permission from the person who joined the the be talking group to share just a little snippet of of his experience is there an issue in his business one of his clients was no longer going to be his main client was no longer going to be working with him he was worried and he was up at night and finally understood as we mentioned last week he understood that I don't have to try so hard I have to put in efforts I'm holding by doing a studless but I don't have to try so hard I have to make every effort and it came that there was a contact somebody contacted him saying another client I need I need stuff but not yet not yet maybe in two weeks ordinarily would have been worried what's going to be how am I going to get the money but he just said I'm gonna be talking and he doesn't and each of the times that he died something something switched you got any you got a message from the person the very same moments he didn't he checked afterwards we got a message saying let's speak on Friday the person had said in two weeks from now Friday is much closer okay whatever Hashem wants ultimately the person made a I'm sorry he said let's speak on Sunday and it was on Friday that the person made the order without even Consulting with him the money came the order came in there's a certain sense that the more you look for it the more you see it Hashem is doing kindness with us all the time it's not clear to me what happens exactly when I look for it does that mean that I get more kindness or or is it I realize there was so much kindness in my life to begin with I'm not sure I think it's both I think it's both when I align myself with Hashem I'm looking for hashem's kindness is when I'm acknowledging hashem's kindnesses so they come more often you know okay then the public says this is in chapter 78 verse 22. and speaking about the Jewish people in their time in the wilderness 40 years going from it's rain from Egypt to the land of Israel incredible Miracles happening for them every day the man of the miraculous man that would fall from Heaven although their knees were taken care of they were protected in an incredible way nevertheless even though they saw these constant miracles even though they could see it all the time right so like why didn't they believe why didn't they believe salvation says some they you know it's funny because ordinarily and let's say you're getting something every single day you come to feel a certain entitlement right so and and you also don't think it's gonna stop but interestingly they felt what about maybe they believe that Hashem would provide them as we all perhaps do with their basic necessities but who says that Hashem is going to give me all of my desires right how do I know that Hashem can fulfill all of my desires or will fulfill all of my desires I don't know if they questioned hashem's ability right Hashem could do anything Hashem is the creator of the universe he created the universe 13.8 billion light years across right so this Incredible Universe he created it all everything is his like he could do it who says he will do it maybe I don't deserve it without testing him right so this comes to an important point this brings us to an important point which is sometimes I trust I trust Hashem and it doesn't work out that way it doesn't work out the way I wanted it to work out right so why am why am I trying them why am I having me talking it's not working right it's easy for a person to say that that's really a fundamental mistake because the myths will be talking as we've spoken about also previously but comes up here talking is to trust in him and it's going to be good does Hashem have to fulfill my guitar have to give me my wish no he does not have to God is my parent a good parent knows when to say no he knows what's really good for us he knows what's best for us Willie a lot of times with the proper be talking cause that the thing that we seek that we want should work out well for us yes he can do that and he does do that but she also says no and he reserves that right they were allowed to test Hashem but generally speaking we're not supposed to really test Hashem the Jewish people in the mid bar made a mistake of testing Hashem 10 times now the mountain says what was it that they didn't trust in Hashem and I think he's really addressing the point of they had everything they had all of their needs so what exactly did they not trust Hashem why didn't they have be talking or was there where was there what was their concern Ed they thought right it's very interesting because we could make this mistake we could think look Hashem is limited you can't really do everything look I asked them for certain thing no I didn't give it to me he can't a person can make that mistake okay what about when it comes to getting into the land of Israel right this is a mistake that we all make this is a mistake I've mentioned you ask a person why why do they live in hutzlars why do they live outside of Israel they'll say well parnasso you know right as if there's no challenge in Coachella Arts there's no challenge in Parana so as if there's no challenge of raising your kids in coach Lawrence different kind of challenge actually I my opinion is much harder it's Australia is much less cashmere much less officiality not to say there's none they're still human beings but okay Sean can provide me for what I need here but can he provide me for what I need in Israel can I inherit the land they were concerned we're going to come to Israel and we're not going to succeed there the Spies made that claim the people there are too powerful they're too aggressive how are we going to make it right the inhabitants of Israel are are tough they're sabras they're they have a rough exterior okay maybe they have a soft interior but until we get to that you know I'm saying it takes time a true a true babita person has true confidence it doesn't matter where you are it could be the like we saw before the ends of the Earth far the Seas doesn't matter where you are the sport who is everywhere Hashem is power everywhere there's no limit to his power Hashem can take care of us in the midboard in the wilderness he can take care of us in America and Europe South Africa and Australia and Japan in China you can take care of us certainly in arts Israel the place where Hashem has special we have special Divine assistance foreign Lord of hosts praiseworthy is the one who trusts in you says praiseworthy is somebody who trusts you and doesn't give up hope because of the length of the exile we've been in the Exile 1953 years that's a long time is still going to come come on I didn't come by now you know what I'm saying is the person who has the true this is speaking 3 300 years ago but he's speaking to us today and telling us don't be afraid you're so close you're so close don't give up hope less King David himself he knew he wasn't going to build the base of miktas right his son King Solomon was going to ultimately build the base of mcdosh but he says hold on hold on be something that she will be built don't despair is going to take us out of the the Exile you will rebuild your temple today and you'll bring it to that place that the souls all desire right all the souls are Desiring and and they have such Soul desires that place the place of the root and the source of all our spirituality this is actually related to the uh the pasig before the previous which says not hold back good from those who go with him with simplicity with wholeness exercise a person who goes you know hey you go simply with God you don't put let's say a person let's say a person takes the star he says you know what I'm not going to do a status anymore I'm going to be like the alphysics the the guy in the back of the whole Donkey driver I'm going to sit in the back I'm gonna just sit down and learn and read to him all day I'm gonna just learn listen to The Altar and the verdict I'm not going to put in an insta guy takes it really to Heart takes it all away so I don't know you're not gonna any ishtadas at all you know you're not gonna do anything come on this is 2022 almost 2023. this is a different world no email not withhold good from those who go with him with Simplicity with wholeness if you really buy and if you really believe this will not miss anything good nothing nothing will be lacking you'll always have all of his needs that's okay it doesn't just mean praiseworthy means the ultimate Joy ashrae means the ultimate Joy the person it's not just you're lucky you're so lucky you trust in Hashem no it means that you have the ultimate Joy because you have everything your your blessings are overflowing the blessings are overflowing positive protect my soul for I am righteous says King David save your servant you are my God to whom I I trust I trust in you I trust towards you how is save your servant you are my God it sounds like a separate thing but he says the radak says you my God it says if he's saying you my God save your servant because I trusted in you says so here's it almost sounds like a trick or like a you know a kind of trapping God as they were saying look I need you to I need you to I'm trusting in you right and then that now when I was going to trust and you want to do what's right uh you know so your name is called upon me right what does it mean your name is called upon me it means that the road call me all right all the nations see that the name of God is upon us what does it mean it means that when we do God's will when we act in accordance with the Torah with the directives of the Torah so the result is that you see this person as a different person this person acts in a different way than everybody else this person you can just see it on him he's Godly God's name is called upon us right so so says when I am trusting in you I'm doing something Supernatural and therefore everyone sees that I'm a Godly person again so this now is a matter of God's honor you have to help me you gotta help me why not for my not not because of me it's not about me anymore it's because it's your honor that's at stake Hashem if you don't if you don't help me so then it will look bad for those who trust in you it would look bad for for those who are Shining God's light into the world now we were plastic from the beginning of yes should we say israelian right says the one who sits in the in the shadow nestled in the in the shadow of the most high Butler he rests there in the shade of Hashem supposedly you are the one in whom I place My Hope you are my tower you are my God who I trust in says Korea this statement this is giving us physic and he's telling us this is what happens when a person trusts in Hashem when he's a person who is nestled in the divine presence under the shadow of Hashem and that's where he rests I want to tell you something on God's behalf is my experience was saying on behalf of God my experience was that God was the one who was my trust and he was my tower I want you to know he's my God that I will continue to trust him I saw that it works when I'd be talking when I trust in Hashem it works I'm telling you something that I want you to know I'm making a promise on his behalf I I guarantee it says you want to guarantee there's lots of it's the doctors that you can give to that will make certain guarantees but King David the greatest King of the Jewish people of all time the great great grandfather of mashiach himself he tells us you want to know what the guarantee is I'll give you a guarantee all you need to do is trust the Hashem if you place yourself under God's Wing under his protection I want you to know it's going to work out well for you this is a tremendous physic obviously King David tells us but we need to know that this is what we need to do for others when we have a be talking group it could be a group that you create yourself it doesn't have to be the group that I'm part of you can create it with your friends with those who are interested in in discussing these ideas when I tell you a story about how it worked out for me I had a certain issue I didn't know where the money was going to come from and it came whatever exactly when I needed it I tell you the story like that a true story we tell each other stories of how we trusted in Hashem is directing us he's saying look we got to be makhazi guitar those who serve God we need to strengthen each other in our service of God and in so doing we strengthen ourselves we strengthen everyone around us and our kids learn from us as well they can see they can smell how we are in are we talking in our relationship with Hashem thanks so much for listening we'll see you again next time
