Emet Inspire - Rabbi Michael Fuzailov - Emuna & Bitachon

[Music] Welcome to this week's EMTT inspired. So in our fellowship classes, I'm always working on one topic with the guys, which is they know they come into my class, they're going to hear about means faith and trust in God. And so the three steps that I taught them were one is you have to believe that Hashem is capable to care to take care of this problem you have on hand right now. this problem, Hashem has no problem taking care of it. I don't know how. He has many different ways. That's step one. Step two, knowing that Hashem loves me even with all my mess ups and everything else. He loves me unconditionally more than my parents would. And therefore the he'll take care of it even if I don't deserve it. And the third step is to feel not just to intellectually understand but to feel that he will do this for me. So, uh, some of our students have been putting this into practice and he told me a couple of, uh, situations that happened to them. One of them was, uh, was at a party and he does the DA, he like does the drumming and he, uh, he came. He said, "I woke up late. I got there and I I started setting everything up. Usually I like to get there 20 minutes before. This time it was I was already late. started setting everything up and then all of a sudden as I try to hit the hit the hit the the drum I realize there's no sound coming out cuz it's supposed to be connected to a microphone and he kept searching what's wrong what's wrong what's wrong switching different plugs and then he realized his mic cord is cut so he doesn't know what to do he takes you know wiring tape right away tries to fix it and nothing's working and the DJ that's with him tells him pack up like nothing nothing left to do here so he starts packing up and as he's packing up he remembers our class and he says No, if Hashem wants this mic is going to start working now. And you know he but he keeps packing because if Hashem wants this mic is going to start working now. And then all of a sudden the DJ starts screaming out one of his friends names. Hey. And he asked him he's apparently it was another guy who does drumming. He's like do you have another do you have another mic? Do you have a mic? And he said yeah. And he runs and he brings him his own mic. And he he comes back and all before you know it, my student is drumming away and the the the other drummer tells me, "You don't understand. I'm not even supposed to be here. I'm not at this party. I was just praying upstairs. I heard there was a bridm. I came downstairs and it was such an an amazing moment for him." Another another student shared he was over Passover. He was in Sunny Isles and he was driving and a cop pulled him over and a police officer said, "Hey, you were going 65 and a 35." He said, "Can't be officer. this that when was the last time you uh you checked your uh your radar and and he he went cop went back to the car 10 minutes later he knows he's getting a ticket his mother saying oh my gosh like you're done and he at that point says you know and then he showed me the video of he said you know he's like Hashem you're not going to do this you're not going to give me a ticket you're going to make sure the cop doesn't give me a ticket next thing you know the cop comes back now again it's 10 minutes later you assume it's over and he already has two points for speeding on his license cop comes over with a warning a ticket that says just a warning. That's it. He was off his he said ah you see it mom I had bet and his mother says what's so for us in our lives and one of my students asked me it's like what is this a cheat code in life I don't understand is this like a hack like a magic wand what is this and so I told him said no the amuna is not a hack it's not a cheat code it's not a magic wand it's the reason that hashem gives us all these issues and problems is for us to exercise our in The Ramban says the entire reason Hashem gave the to the Jewish people is for them to come closer to him through in trusting in him. And the leash says the the the the grandfather of Rabbi Yashal says that there's nothing that stands in the way of and and that really our closeness to Hashem really depends on how much faith and trust we put into him. How much we realize he's there, how much we realize he loves us and he's going to take care of us. So in any problem we have in life just apply those principles. Thank you.
