Facing the Valley of the Shadow of Death: Overcoming Fear with Faith and the Power of Tehillim

0:01 Fyou Saffarim, have breathed such life, vigor, vitality and inspiration into the nation of the Jewish people like Dawid A Melech, safer Tehillim. This ruach haqqoydesh-infused book of poetry and Psalms continues to inspire millions of Jews, and even more people than that, daily. And if you're to select, make a case for Dawid A Melech's most famous verse, most famous line in all of Tehillim, you could make a strong case For the verse that reads gam kie lech begeitsa l'mobes la'yiro roki ata imodi. And even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, i will not fear, for the Almighty is with me.

0:46 Where is this told valley of the shadow of death? It sounds frightening. It sounds like skulls and crossbows. It sounds like a road down to something that you're afraid of, to the dentist, to the doctor. I don't like those things. It sounds like there's something. I'm imagining that Hazal probably give us a little bit of perspective. But when you understand the Saffa of the Apostle, the end of it, that if you're someone that understands their makah, that God is with me, then there's nothing to fear, even a valley of the shadow of death, wherever that is, it's not frightening even the least bit. You don't understand this. When you understand and when you see how, kalev and Yaheshua, they spoke back against the other Maradlum.

1:33 They said why are you afraid? Is this a dangerous road? Is this any sort of valley of the shadow of death? But they said Jewish people, relax. Ach behashem, altim ridu ve, altim altiru, don't be afraid. as Amorets, you know why you shouldn't be afraid. Because you're afraid to disoptic this graphic imagery from these righteous individuals. Because the enemies that are standing over there, the big giants, kilach meinu hem, they're bread. They're bread. The Tyra calls enemies inanimate objects. Rashi expands on this idea. We're going to eat them, we're going to consume them like bread. They're nothing. It's a person afraid of some rock sitting on the floor.

2:15 It's a big. It's a bolt. It's a rock. It's a person Understands that the Almighty is with me. And when they have taken up arms to walk down the path of righteousness, to do it for hashem, well then, nobody can hurt you. You become untouchable And even though you may traverse through the valley of the shadow of death, all of those skulls and crossbones and all of that frightening snakes and scorpions, they just turn to bread. It unites them. That's how everything works.
