We keep on with hiddushim of Bitachon from Rav Chaim Kanievsky on Tehilim. In chapter 66, pasuk three, David Hamelech says, אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃ We're going to say to God, ‘How wonderful are Your functions and Your excellent toughness. Your enemies will deny which they ever sinned towards You.’ They can know how sturdy You happen to be and so they’ll deny every thing once they’re placed on demo. They're going to try and deny everything given that they'll recognize they're going to be punished. That's the simple rationalization. Rav Chaim Kanievsky provides quotations a Midrash Raba in Esther, ten,fifteen where it states that ‘ How awesome is God,’ implies “ How awesome are Your techniques that you simply do to humble the enemies inside a most wondrous way ? People who are purported to be killed will result in the Some others to generally be killed. Those people who are supposed to be hung will bring about their hangers for being hung. Individuals who ended up pushed in The ocean will turn out leading to those who pushed them to go in The ocean. Those who had been burnt will induce the Many others to be burnt. And those that be thrown for lions, they bring about the Other individuals to be thrown to the lions.” What does that indicate? Rav Chaim Kanievsky describes that in history, we see that when the enemies on the Jews try to wipe out them, the incredibly region they attempted to damage them with bounces back on them. -One of several first circumstances of the was Moshe Rabbenu. It states that he referred to as his son Eliezer to remind himself that God saved him through the sword of Paroah. What does that necessarily mean?They needed to kill Moshe because it was noted to Paroah that he killed an Egyptian taskmaster, but if the executioner hit Moshe Rabbenu’s neck along with his sword, God manufactured a wonder that turned Moshe’s neck into marble, as well as knife bounced back and killed the executioner. -An illustration of Those that need to hang are going to be hung, is Haman. He ready the big pole to hold Mordechai on, but as a substitute, he was hung on it. - The ones that are drowning people inside the ocean refers back to the Egyptians that started out off by drowning the Jewish children.
We carry on with some nice Bitachon ideas in the commentary of Rav Chaim Kanievsky in Tehilim . In chapter 34, pasuk 19, David Hamelech suggests, קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב God is close to the broken hearts. 1. He rates from a Midrash called Otiot Rebi Akiva (letter eight), that says, “ Whoever's coronary heart is damaged and whose spirit is small, the Shechina walks with him all day long. It’s as though a Mizbe’ach is inbuilt this guy’s coronary heart and He's bringing Korbanot on it, as the brokenhearted are dearer to God compared to the angels that He has in the heavens.” And then he estimates Yet another Midrash, in Vayikra Raba chapter seven, that says, “ God's utensils are broken utensils.” Normally, we love to use utensils which can be finish. But God is different than human beings. He uses damaged utensils. Like it suggests, קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב God is near the people who find themselves broken hearted. It states, “ The sacrifices of God is a damaged heart.” The Gemara points out that it say” sacrifices ,” in plural, mainly because a individual who provides a damaged heart is sort of a going for walks Bet Hamikdash , bringing choices to God, and so God dwells there. This is why when someone is in that point out, He's closest to God, and closest to remaining answered. קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב Those that have humble spirits, He'll help you save. רַ֭בּוֹת רָע֣וֹת צַדִּ֑יק וּ֝מִכֻּלָּ֗ם יַצִּילֶ֥נּוּ ה׳׃ The problems on the righteous are many and Hashem will help save them. Rav Chaim Kanievsky describes that specially at The purpose of Rabbot Ra’ot/ numerous troubles, in the event the sword is on his neck, and it does not seem to be that there's any way to get out of the specific situation, which is if the miracle happens. That is comparable to what happened at Keriat Yam Suf/the splitting of the sea. When an individual is at the point that he would not see a means out, this triggers him to be brokenhearted, and he will see the yeshua .

Trusting Hashem fosters a sense of peace and resilience. Once we admit that we're not alone inside our struggles, we can launch a number of the strain we area on ourselves. This mentality encourages a far more beneficial outlook, allowing for us to concentrate on what really matters. Strengthening Religion
On the flip side, bitachon isn't a strategy to govern the universe. Your perception does not create fantastic—the good through which that you are so confident is presently the underlying reality.
As we pointed out, many of the creatures of generation sing tracks which can be present in Tehilim, and Perek Shira is the position where by These are listed. It tells us the scorpion states, Tov Hashem LKol God is nice to all V’Rachamav Al Kol Maasav And has mercy on all His creations Why does the scorpion sing that? What’s the link? Rav Chaim Kanievsky explains which the scorpion is a awful mazik / destroyer, able to inflicting Loss of life with only one Chunk. And as a consequence, after you see a scorpion, you crush it and get rid of it. That you are even allowed to get rid of a scorpion on Shabbat, a result of the Hazard. On top of that, if a scorpion is coming to Chunk you, you run away, at any level in prayer. For this reason, God did a kindness with the scorpion, and that is hunted by all. It presents beginning to numerous, a lot of offspring one particular time (the Yerushalmi says it offers beginning to 70 at any given time). And they do not arrive out off eggs. They may be born live, in a single single brood with quite a few, a lot of toddlers. This is because Hashem isn't going to want the species to get worn out. So even on anything as harmful as a scorpion, God has mercy. In One more quote from Ashrei , that's taken from the animal kingdom, it claims, סוֹמֵ֣ךְ ה׳ לְכׇל־הַנֹּפְלִ֑ים וְ֝זוֹקֵ֗ף לְכׇל־הַכְּפוּפִֽים God will take treatment of those who tumble, and picks up Individuals and which are hunched about. That tune was sung by the snake. The snake was cursed. He was the biggest Nofel . His legs have been chopped off. With regard to the snake, it says, “ You shall go on your abdomen.” But even so, God did a kindness towards the snake, that as a result of his curse, which was that dirt was would be his food stuff, wherever he goes, his sustenance is there. So even around the snake, God has mercy. They are messages for us . The Gemara asks, what's the function in God developing every type of rodents and creatures that don't actually insert to creation? The Midrash answers that in some cases Hashem appears down at the globe and claims, “The globe has no rationale to exist.” And God claims to Himself, “ If I'm maintaining the whole world likely for creatures that don't have any genuine intent, like all All those insects and rodents, there's no distinction for all the things else.

, we get started to notice profound adjustments in our lives. The concerns that after consumed us could start to dissipate. In place of approaching on a daily basis with trepidation, we discover how to embrace the unknown with open up hearts.
With Hashem's help, I lately discovered a commentary on Tehilim created by Rav Chaim Kanievsky z’l. To know Tehilim, it is important to be aware of the qualifications and historical context with the chapter that David Hamelech is composing about. What precisely was taking place in his in life when he wrote it? Occasionally he tells us what exactly’s happening inside the heading, whether he’s working absent, currently being chased, and so forth. But occasionally he would not. And at times, it looks as if he is telling us what is going on on, but we really Really don't get it. Rav Chaim Kanievsky, with his great understanding of Torah, finds a Midrash that helps us realize just one this sort of chapter. Chapter thirty is known as Mizmor Shir, Hanukat HaBayit L’David/a tune for the commitment of the House, referring into the Wager Hamikdash, by David. There are 2 issues with this. Primary is always that David Hamelech wasn't at the Hanukat HaBayit- he died in advance of that. As we’ve discussed before, Rashi describes that he wrote it to get claimed in the Hanukat Habayit. The second challenge is that there is no discussion from the Hanukat HaBayit With this Mizmor. It says, אֲרוֹמִמְךָ֣ ה׳ כִּ֣י דִלִּיתָ֑נִי God lifted me up… שִׁוַּ֥עְתִּי אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵֽנִי I called out to You and you also healed me. You raise me through the depths, etc. Exactly what does that have to do with the Hanukat Habayit? Further more into the perek, it states, הֲיוֹדְךָ֥ עָפָ֑ר הֲיַגִּ֥יד אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃ Will dirt praise You and say about Your real truth? לְמַ֤עַן ׀ יְזַמֶּרְךָ֣ כָ֭בוֹד וְלֹ֣א יִדֹּ֑ם יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י לְעוֹלָ֥ם אוֹדֶֽךָּ Making sure that my soul will sing to you personally for good.. So, once more, what's going on? Rav Chaim cites a Midrash that David Hamelech was sick for 13 a long time, as he says in a unique perek, יָגַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בְּֽאַנְחָתִ֗י אַשְׂחֶ֣ה בְכׇל־לַ֭יְלָה מִטָּתִ֑י בְּ֝דִמְעָתִ֗י עַרְשִׂ֥י אַמְסֶֽה Just about every evening I'm crying in my bed . So he experienced for 13 a long time, and during this time his enemies hoping he’d die. David Hamelech was of course praying for getting away from this example. What bought him outside of it? He eventually arrived up with the next prayer, “ Be sure to conserve me to ensure that I'll have the toughness to system the Bet Hamikdash,” and t hat's when he bought out of his mattress and wrote what’s known as the Megilat Binyan Wager Hamikdash/ the architectural strategies for your Guess a HaMikdash, and God read his prayer.
So it was made the decision that you just had been gonna make $one hundred,000, and afterwards the market dropped so you missing $10,000 therefore you ended up with $90,000. What's the real difference? The main difference is, as we now see, in this manner, you get the kapara . You receive the atonement for the money which you lost. You actually never ever received it, but God, in His mercy causes it to be counts for Kapara . But, claims the Chafetz Chaim, There is certainly even a higher level- Rav Yochanan Ben Zachai’s nephews gave The cash to Sedaka. So don't just can you find yourself that you just ended up supposed to make $100,000 pounds, however, you missing $10,000. But when you're taking that $10,000, give it to charity, it counts like a decline, but it's not a decline, mainly because it turns into a huge, large zechut. That is how Hashem operates the earth, in this manner of mercy. Just keep in mind, when we say, פּוֹתֵ֥חַ אֶת־יָדֶ֑ךָ וּמַשְׂבִּ֖יעַ לְכׇל־חַ֣י רָצֽוֹן׃ God opens up His hands and satiates to Everyone, what his wills are. Hashem, open up Your arms and make sure you give me all of that bounty,” don’t say, “ Hey, it is not Performing, it isn't really coming in.” It's Operating , you're finding it, Nonetheless they're having it faraway from you, so that you can give you a kapara prior to deciding to get it. So You should not Consider those prayers were wasted. It's bringing you all types of atonements. Whatever you could have gotten, and must have gotten, was taken faraway from you. The Pele Yoetz, in the topic of Daagah/get worried, discusses this too. He applied the mashal of the king that tells a debtor that it's extremely hard for someone to owe income into the king and not fork out him. “ So I will slide some cash via your door, and you may pay back me back with that. I am going to even go away you some leftovers likewise. I'll Provide you a bit a lot more than you need. ” That is what Hashem does. He presents us, after which He will make us eliminate, and that's how He provides us the kapara . Which is how He pays us off. The Pele Yoetz cites a midrash that claims, Hodu L’Hashem Ki Tov, Praise Hashem, for He is nice What is the ki Tov/good ? That Hashem collects the debts in the absolute best way for somebody. Your wine bottle breaks, your rooster dies, you stub your toe. God's mercy is plentiful in how He appears for ways for us to pay for back again, in quite possibly the most painless of how. Yet another mashal is presented of a king that said whoever dedicated a particular would have a large boulder dropped on him, Which boulder would destroy the individual. But it surely turned out which the king’s son dedicated the criminal offense. And so the king took the boulder and broke it into little little daily bitachon pebbles and experienced the pebbles thrown at his son, one after the other. פּוֹתֵ֥חַ אֶת־יָדֶ֑ךָ וּמַשְׂבִּ֖יעַ לְכׇל־חַ֣י רָצֽוֹן׃ God opens up His palms and satiates to Everyone, what his wills are. When it seems like you didn’t get That which you needed, you did- but it was taken faraway from you before you acquired it, in a means that may trigger you to obtain a kapara . Have a wonderful working day.
It is far from an Mindset according to knowledge, but one that creates expertise. It states, “Things might be fantastic because I think They are really good.”
Folks are constantly on the lookout for different ways to reinforce their Bitachon, as well as the Chafetz Chaim offers us suggestions on how to do this. He states that it’s our occupation is usually to strengthen our Bitachon. Since the pasuk in Mishleh states, קַוֵּ֥ה לה׳ וְיֹ֣שַֽׁע לָֽךְ׃ Kaveh L’Hashem V’Yoshah Lach/ Put your hope in Hashem has He'll deliver you His advice for strengthening Bitachon as follows: Go back on your life and constantly ponder: How many years Have you ever lived until finally now? The quantity of many years have passed by? And with God's kindness, there was not every day that went by (I hope for everyone reading this) that you did not have food items to try to eat, water to consume, apparel, along with a location to Dwell . Baruch Hashem, we're not homeless. That's something to contemplate. Ponder the Hessed of Hashem. Hashem tells us that we're designed to bear in mind the several years that we used in the Midbar , and Rabbenu Yonah states this isn't just about the many years that we invested from the Midbar . It’s also with regard to the many years that we shell out in this entire world, under-going lifetime's problems, and each of the scary things that take place. All people has their scares, no matter if health-related, financial, or family members-connected. We’ve all experienced them, and Baruch Hashem, we have gotten by them. We are however listed here, and we're nevertheless alive. So, depending on my past, why am I worried about tomorrow? We don't know how many additional many years We'll Are living, and we can think that if He aided us until eventually now, He’ll keep on aiding us. We have pointed out just before, with the Chatam Sofer, that every so often anyone need to look back again at his existence. While you become old, you start to view more connections. Far more items commence building perception any time you look back on things which, many years in the past, seemed terrible. As an example from my very own life, I figured out in the Yeshiva named Be’er Yaakov, underneath Rav Wolbe, but inside a yr of my arrival, Rav Wolbe chose to leave the yeshiva.
The only way to fix it truly is by annulling by yourself to God. That's the full goal of prayer. We commence our prayers with bowing, and we pray with our feet and hands locked, to symbolize that we will not do something. While in the words and phrases of Rav Wolbe, “ Prayer and conceitedness are an oxymoron.” They do not get the job done together. The full essence of prayer is humility, and with that humility, you obtain the proper outlook on lifestyle. As a result, we need to put time in to concentrate on these essential factors. That means You must have just a little inner dialogue with on your own. When You begin praying, and those views come to your mind, It's important to halt by yourself and say, “ Hmm, there you go once more. You think you're in charge. You think that you're making things transpire. You do not make issues occur. God can gradual everything down.” You might be pondering, “ How am I planning to make the sale?” But Who's heading to ensure the boat is available in in time? Who's likely to make certain they pay back?” You're not in charge. There's a sweet Tale Rav Matityahu Salomon advised about after. He mentioned, there was a man in England, the place he utilized to Reside, who was a cutthroat in enterprise. He was very, very tricky. But he prayed an exceptionally, very extended Amidah. Any person (Probably Rav Matityahu) at the time questioned him, “ Why are you praying for so prolonged? You appear like you really know the way to deal with your online business. You might be in control.” He answered , “I pray to Hashem which i know very well what I am undertaking in my small business, but I'm sure You can destroy every little thing. So be sure to, leave me. Allow me to do my thing.” That's what some individuals really feel like. “ I can really take care of it. Just, Hashem, don't mess anything at all up. Do not destroy nearly anything .” But that's a completely warped means of looking at things. There is absolutely no accomplishment with with no Hashem . If, even though our eyes are closed, praying to Hashem, we are not able to target Him, and we're only pondering our ways and our hishtadlut and our actions, that is an indicator that deep down, we expect we are earning every thing happen. And therefore, this means You must rethink your approach to Who's truly earning things materialize. That is the perform of Kavana, and that's the operate of prayer. Have an excellent working day.
David Hamelech acquired away from his mattress and was fully healthy when he gave over and worked on that architecture. Rav Chaim Kanievsky adds that David Hamelech claimed this Mizmor when he handed over the scroll Along with the architectural designs. It was his Thanks for having from his sickness. With that context, we can easily realize why It is really called Mizmor Shir Hanukat HaBayit L’David . He wrote it for them to sing at the actual Hanukat Habayit, which he wasn't heading to really make it to. But he spoke about his sickness due to the fact what obtained him out was The reality that he wished To accomplish this. In addition, a pasuk With this chapter states, זמרו לה׳ חסידיו /Sing to Hashem, the pious ones, והודו לזכר קדשו and thank Him. Initial sing, then thank Him. Most time it's thank 1st and after that sing, like it states, ט֗וֹב לְהֹד֥וֹת לה׳ וּלְזַמֵּ֖ר לְשִׁמְךָ֣ עֶלְיֽוֹן׃ “It's good to thank You, and Then you certainly sing a track.” Because it suggests, Shiru Lo, Zamru Lo/sing music. Usually, 1st you thank Hashem for what happened and Then you really sing the track. But below he says the pious types, they sing the track even right before it comes about. David Hamelech was by now singing the music of his salvation, just before it transpired. And he presents different explanations to receive out of his sickness. “ Can I thank you After i'm just dust? (which implies, Am i able to thank You After i'm dead?) ” Then he says, “ Am i able to say in excess of Your fact?” These good reasons refers to the two things which anyone is listed here in the world for: to thank Hashem and also to state His Oneness. David was making use of these to be a reason to tug him away from his sickness. This is very important. When another person is in trouble, an individual can Truthfully and sincerely say, “ Hashem, get me from issues due to the fact I however Have a very mission to accomplish. I still have some thing to accomplish. Get me out of this. I ought to praise You. I would like to satisfy my mission.” This was David Hamelech’s magic formula of Mizmor Shir Hanukat Habayit L’David. Once again, we will only realize this with Rav Chaim Kanievsky’s qualifications and context (based on an unfamiliar Midrash, which I looked for. It appears to be in an obscure Midrash, and not within the typical Midrashim). Have a beautiful working day.
