Welcome to our balvi series episode 17
0:10
the balvi tells us now that even if a
0:13
person is a situation that seems beyond
0:16
hope how am I getting out of this he has
0:19
to
0:21
know hashem's Salvation can come like
0:24
the blink of an eye and God's ways he
0:28
says are hidden
0:33
we don't know how God's going to work
0:34
his ways are hidden and therefore even
0:36
if a sharp sword is on your
0:39
throat don't give up hope and keep on
0:43
trying keep on hoping and he brings
0:50
a he could bring you down to the depths
0:52
and bring you out and he
0:57
says again he's telling us a miraculous
1:00
story of yonah in the whale what does it
1:04
have to do with us remember the story of
1:05
yonah yes remember the story of yonah
1:08
yah's story is not just a story it's a
1:10
lesson for us and it's not a coincidence
1:13
that we read the story of yonah in y
1:14
kipur to tell us you could be in the
1:17
depths of the ocean and God can pull you
1:20
out because God's ways are hidden from
1:23
us and we have to know that God is
1:25
Limitless and therefore till the very
1:27
end don't give up hope and one of the
1:31
illustrations of this in the G is the
1:32
story ofon benon I heard this story from
1:36
Shalom
1:38
from it's a time of drought and there's
1:41
a wealthy Gentile that has a lot of
1:44
water and he says I want to borrow water
1:46
from you and I'll pay you back the water
1:49
and if I don't pay you back by the end
1:50
of the year I'll give you well pits full
1:55
of gold and silver instead of water okay
1:58
the wealthy man says okay I'll try it
1:59
one why not he gives him the water and a
2:03
month goes by 6 months go by a year is
2:07
approaching and there is no rain andoran
2:10
meets the man in the morning of the last
2:11
day the man says pay up and says I have
2:13
time I have time he meets in the
2:16
afternoon I have time there's a half an
2:18
hour to go I have time and the the
2:22
Gentile goes the bath house to celebrate
2:25
and goes to the bet mikdash he cries his
2:28
heart out tells God show the world that
2:31
you have people that that you love and
2:33
love you and sure enough the rain comes
2:36
down the pits are filled it's by the
2:40
literally by the line the claims it
2:42
was ready after Sunset so God brings the
2:44
Sun out again what's the lesson over
2:47
here says raak he says why does God wait
2:50
to the last second we have the same
2:52
thing by why is he waiting well one of
2:53
the reason he wants to see if you're
2:54
going to snap he wants to test your bet
2:57
but he says you know why God Waits
2:58
imagine have a pilot
3:00
the pilot doesn't worry he's going to
3:02
miss the flight he's flying the
3:05
plane is in control he's flying the
3:08
plane he's not worried he's going to
3:09
miss the flight he can wait till the
3:11
last second and bring the rain this he's
3:14
never under pressure and therefore we
3:17
also should not get under pressure we
3:19
say I only have a minute to go Where's
3:21
God God doesn't work like people if he's
3:24
if he's so late it means he doesn't want
3:26
to do it God's in control to the last
3:28
second and that's why God Tau Us by MIT
3:31
again just like I took you out of MIT
3:33
remember Hashem that took you out of M
3:34
at the last moment it could be the last
3:36
moment don't give up Hashem can be there
3:39
to help you have a wonderful
3:44
day
