Studying Sha’ar HaBitachon, Rabbeinu Bachaya's "Gate of Trust" ~ the Timeless Torah Tome that can teach US ALL How to Conquer Anxiety and Live with Tranquility!
___________________________
In the sixth segment of Chapter Six, "WRONG REASONS," we move onto the Fourth "Truth Bomb" about the inappropriateness of setting pre-conditions of financial security before placing Trust in and dedicating ourselves to the service of Hashem.
Listing the three reasons people might ask for security from a debtor, Rabbainu Bachaya demonstrates how obviously wrong and inapplicable any of these reasons are when it comes to G-d, our Guarantor and Provider.
Although the lessons are so plainly apparent, it seems people still require some sort of scriptural proof, which in and of itself engenders investigation and beg clarification:
After all, why provide a citation to prove things already at the core of our faith? Conversely, if there's no belief to begin with, how would biblical quotations help?!
Once everything is clarified this Episode adds much to illustrate how absolutely disgraceful and outrageous it is to demand security from Hashem!
The sixth class on the Sixth Chapter of "Sha'ar HaBitachon," comprises the 151st consecutive Episode teaching you how to best nurture your Trust in G-d to Conquer Anxiety. Forever!
