We continue on with hiddushim of Bitachon from Rav Chaim Kanievsky on Tehilim. In chapter sixty six, pasuk three, David Hamelech claims, אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃ We will say to God, ‘How wonderful are Your acts and also your terrific energy. Your enemies will deny which they ever sinned in opposition to You.’ They'll notice how strong That you are and they’ll deny every little thing after they’re put on trial. They will try and deny anything as they'll comprehend they are going to be punished. Which is the simple explanation. Rav Chaim Kanievsky provides quotations a Midrash Raba in Esther, ten,15 where it says that ‘ How wonderful is God,’ implies “ How wonderful are Your ways that You do to humble the enemies inside a most wondrous way ? Those who are supposed to be killed will trigger the Other individuals being killed. Those who are designed to be hung will cause their hangers being hung. Those that had been pushed in The ocean will end up causing people who pushed them to go in the sea. Those that have been burnt will trigger the Many others to get burnt. And those who be thrown for lions, they bring about the Other people to be thrown in the lions.” What does that mean? Rav Chaim Kanievsky points out that in history, we see that if the enemies with the Jews endeavor to ruin them, the incredibly region that they attempted to destroy them with bounces back on them. -One of the initial scenarios of the was Moshe Rabbenu. It states that he called his son Eliezer to remind himself that God saved him with the sword of Paroah. Exactly what does that suggest?They wanted to get rid of Moshe since it was claimed to Paroah that he killed an Egyptian taskmaster, but once the executioner strike Moshe Rabbenu’s neck together with his sword, God built a miracle that turned Moshe’s neck into marble, along with the knife bounced back and killed the executioner. -An illustration of The ones that desire to dangle will be hung, is Haman. He geared up the large pole to hang Mordechai on, but as an alternative, he was hung on it. - Those who are drowning folks in the ocean refers back to the Egyptians that started off by drowning the Jewish kids.
In the long run, they drowned in The ocean. - The ones that are increasingly being burnt refers to Hanania, Mishael and Azaria. Nevuchadnezzar created an exceedingly huge furnace and so they were thrown inside. When the executioners noticed that they have been continue to going for walks around within, they leaned about to see what was taking place, the hearth jumped out plus they ended up burnt. Similarly, in the event the lions did not try to eat Daniel, they claimed, “ Oh, probably they don't seem to be hungry. ” So that they threw the executioners in, and the lions, displaying which they truly have been hungry, and ate the executioners. This can be what Ma Norah Ma’asecha/How awesome are God's actions indicates. And also the perek proceeds, in pasuk ה and says, לְכ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ מִפְעֲל֣וֹת אֱלֹהִ֑ים נוֹרָ֥א עֲ֝לִילָ֗ה עַל־בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ Go and see the is effective of God, Norah/amazing are His will cause. Yet again, the word Norah/great is made use of. As we have explained repeatedly, these two words and phrases, Norah Alilah tend to be the resource for that Ibn Ezra’s piyut , which Sephardic communities say in Ne’Ilah - “ El Norah Alilah, God That's awesome in His causes,” which implies that Among the most wondrous points about Hashem’s steps is usually that we do not see them happening inside a direct fashion. Hashem tends to make factors occur within an oblique way, that's Norah Alilah. The pesukim carry on describing how through the entire Galut , Hashem applied This method of His Norah . David Hamelech is telling us this, suggests the Seforno, in order that we, that are currently while in the exile, should comprehend how Hashem operates. There will arrive a time when what ever our enemies are carrying out or have carried out to us will bounce back. We might not see it promptly, like if the sword strike Moshe Rabbenu’s neck and bounced back again, but just like Mitzrayim, wherever it took a few years until finally those who drowned the Jewish infants were being drowned themselves, ultimately we will all say, מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ How amazing are Your deeds? נורא עלילה על בני אדם Needless to say, we see how God will make matters transpire in roundabout methods, and at some point whatsoever His decree is relates to be. Have an excellent day.
The point is that anyone can recognize that Hashem operates the whole world, and even now not belief Him. Even though he sees the puppeteer pulling the strings, he however may not rely on the one particular running the present.

There isn't any this kind of factor as happenstance. There aren't any random occurrences. Hashem is intricately involved with the functioning of the whole world.
Bitachon is really an illustration of a Biblical Hebrew word that took on an exceptionally unique set of meanings With all the increase of a modern, Hebrew-speaking state.
Just when factors had been starting to improve, that guy came more than and did such and these types of. Which sent me into Yet another tailspin. Then, just when I was receiving back again into factors, this which
” וְשֶׁב־שָׁ֑ם וַעֲשֵׂה־שָׁ֣ם מִזְבֵּ֔חַ And Sit there And make an altar there. The Seforno asks, What exactly are we introducing with All those two words and phrases- ‘( And) sit there ?’ The Seforno answers that Hashem was telling Yaakov Avinu this basic principle in the pious Gentlemen of outdated, as he was about to build an altar, and that’s what our prayer is now; it’s a substitute for your sacrifices or offerings about the altar. Hashem was training which you can't just dive into that presenting. You should sit and contemplate. So That is an historical strategy. Folks currently glimpse to Japanese cultures for meditation and mindfulness. But almost everything that is fantastic is found in our Torah. That's this concept of Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha. It's not necessary to sit there with your legs crossed and a turban on. You can sit with all your legs straight along with your tefilin on. The purpose is identical: Emphasis . Crystal clear your thoughts in the litter before you pray. A further resource for this idea is located in the Yalkut Shemoni, Shemuel ב It states that David Hamelech states, “I would not pray to God until finally I stood still and calmed down. And then I'd personally pray.” As it suggests in Shemuel ב (seven,18) וַיָּבֹא֙ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֔ד וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב לִפְנֵ֣י ה׳ “ King David arrived, and he sat in front of God,” He sat , and soon after he sat and had kavana , after which he started to pray. So this is one thing we see in the greats of our past: Yaakov Avinu, David Hamelech… These are instructing us this crucial concept of Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha/ Privileged are the ones that just sit and contemplate in advance of they pray and very clear their minds of your litter. And again, This is certainly brought down in Shulchan Aruch ( Or HaChaim chapter ninety eight) This is not only for Hasidim HaRishonim. He says, this is probably essentially the most challenging factor for people, “ Clear away each of the thoughts that happen to be preoccupying you, until finally your thoughts and also your kavana are pure.” And after that you can start praying. Which is with the regular man or woman. The Hasidim HaRishonim would shell out one hour , And they'd attain significant levels. We are just requesting a handful of moments of Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha. Have a beautiful day.
