Talking Emunah

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha Tuesday, August 11 09: (Likutay Halachos) Emunah is something very powerful. Emunah is dependent in the mouth of a person. Therefore, a person should speak about Emunah. As it says (Psalms 89) "I will make known your faithfulness with my mouth" When a person falls into a lack of emunah here is a good idea how to snap back: "Talk emunah with your mouth" This in and of itself constitutes Emunah. Thank you Hashem!



Emunah Bitachon Besimcha
Continued from yesterday... Then as David wanted to show his strength, he decided to take the goblet belonging to the King. The King was guarded by a very strong guard. As David took the goblet he crawled under the great legs of the then sleeping guard. Suddenly, the huge man's leg dropped and crushed David. David said to Hashem, "Please don't forsake me now" and Hashem sent a bee, and it bit the leg of the guard and for the instant that the guard lifted his leg, David was able to escape. Then he realized that Hashem showed him that all three things have purpose, it must be there is purpose to it all. He then composed Psalm 34 "Of David when he disguised his sanity before Avimelech who drove him out and he left...

Today is a new choice

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha Monday, August 10 09: Each day we renew our faith in Hashem, so don't worry about yesterday and don't project anything negative toward the future. Choose to see the good in you and renew your faith in Hashem TODAY with Joy! Hashem wants us to grow closer to him with complete faith, trust and joy! THANK YOU HASHEM


Emunah Bitachon Besimcha
continued from yesterday.. Hashem created three situations where David before he became King David would see the value in all three creations. When he was running away from the pelishtim as they were looking to kill him, he began to act like a crazy person by writing slogans on walls all over town. The king told the soldiers to let him go as he is obviously a CRAZY person. Later on as he was running from the army that was chasing him he ran into a cave and Hashem sent a spider to spin a huge web at the entrance of the cave. When the army came looking they passed by the cave realizing that he can't possibly be in there... continued tomorrow

Emunah is a paradox

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha Sunday, August 09 09: (Sichot Horan) It is only possible to turn to Hashem with Emunah through truth, as it says, "...and all His deeds are with Emunah". Everything Hashem created was with the sense of Emunah. The entire world was created in a paradox with Emunah at its helm. Thank you Hashem!

So the challenge is to have the Emunah even through their are paradoxes behind subjects such as free will, divine providence and creation?

But why did Hashem create wasps? Seriously they just annoy you and seem to serve no other purpose other than to seriously irritate you on a hot day? Are they just a test? How were waps created with emunah?

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha
David before he became King David was annoyed by three things. 1) Crazy People 2) a Spider 3) a Bee. He said to Hashem these three are here to annoy and have no purpose so Hashem taught him three valuable lessons that each and every being has a purpose. To be continued tomorrow

Bitachon (Trust) Lessons

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha Friday, August 07 09: (Aleph-Bet Book) 1) Trust in Hashem brings peace. 2) Emunah (faith) produces Bitachon (trust) in Hashem. 3) A person who does not trust in Hashem tells lies. Lies prevents a person from trusting in truth. 4)The waters of the jordan river are a segulah for trust. THANK YOU HASHEM! Please feel free to send feedback. Have a beautiful and uplifted Shabbos!

Torah brings us closer...

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha Thursday, August 06 09: (Loshon Chasidim) Through Emunah Hashem destroys all bad decrees and he turns them into righteousness. (Hebrew word tzedek = din) Hashem turns this into the word charity (Hebrew word tzedaka = kindness) and this helps a person from sufferings connected to making a living. THANK YOU HASHEM!

Closer to Faith

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha Wednesday, August 05 09: (Aleph-Bet Book) 1. One's belief in Hashem must come through faith and not because of miracles. 2. You may achieve faith by being humble. 3. Faith is dependent upon a person's mouth. {Speaking about faith not only increases it ~ it is FAITH!} 4. Faith is considered like charity. THANK YOU HASHEM!

Emunah without pre-conditions

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha Tuesday, August 04 09: (from the sefer Ani Bechasdecha Butachtee) When it comes to Bitachon (trust) in Hashem it should not be done 'on condition on'. Many people mistakenly trust in return of, or 'on condition on'. To have Emunah (faith) and Bitachon in Hashem requires us to let go and let Hashem do what needs to be done. Over time we will see better changes within us. THANK YOU HASHEM!

The path to trust

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha Monday, August 03 09: (from the sefer Ani Bechasdecha Butachtee) The path to Bitachon (trust) passes through the simple and basic belief in Emunah (faith). Therefore, if one wants to awaken to have more Emunah he should take the simplest path. Before taking any action, first FEEL that with your simple faith in Hashem, you will get closer to Him. THANK YOU HASHEM! Say it often, and mean it!
