We are now in pasuk 78, 22 of Tehillim , which discusses the negative impact for those that don't have bitachon. Referring to Jewish people in the desert it says: כִּ֤י לֹ֣א הֶ֭אֱמִינוּ בֵּאלֹהִ֑ים וְלֹ֥א בָ֝טְח֗וּ בִּישֽׁוּעָתֽוֹ׃ Because they did not trust in Hashem and they did not rely on His salvation. They didn't have Emuna and they didn't have Bitachon . The Radak explains that ‘ they didn't believe in Hashem,’ means they didn't believe that He was able to give them meat in the desert and bring them into Eretz Yisrael . The fact that They didn't rely on His salvation is a separate point, which is that any time we had a salvation in the past, we're supposed to use that as an indicator for the future. That's one of the things the Hovot Halevavot tells us about Hashem’s reliance- He’s come through for you in the past. So that’s a complaint. People who have seen many salvations in their lives are supposed to have stronger bitachon. Those past experiences are supposed to mean, ‘ Hashem has been taking care of me until now, He will continue to take care of me. ’ The older we get, the more bitachon we should have. But I'd like to focus on a different point in this pasuk. It says, Ki/ Because they didn’t rely… which indicates that something happened because they didn't believe in Hashem. The next 2 pesukim say, וַיְצַ֣ו שְׁחָקִ֣ים מִמָּ֑עַל וְדַלְתֵ֖י שָׁמַ֣יִם פָּתָֽח׃ / God commanded the heavens from above. And He opened up the doors of the skies וַיַּמְטֵ֬ר עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם מָ֣ן לֶאֱכֹ֑ל And He brought manna upon them to eat . The obvious question is, You just finished telling me that they were questioning God, and that they didn't have Emunah and Bitachon. So why are they now getting manna? This question is asked by the sefer Hechal Beracha , written by Rabbi Yitzhak Safron, the Rebba of Komarna, in Parashiot Beshalach and Bahar . He asks what would've happened if they hadn’t complained, and says that if they didn’t complain, “ The food would've come right into their mouths, Milk and honey… But once you started to complain and think I can’t do it? Okay, I'll bring bread from the heavens. But that's still some level of an intermediary. He says this again in Parashat Bahar , in the famous discussion about Shemitta , where it says that they asked, “ What are we going to to eat?” God says, I'm going to command the blessing upon you and give you three years' worth of crops. And again, the question is, If they hadn’t asked the question, what would've happened? The answer is, If you wouldn't have asked the question, it would've come much easier. It would've come without all the hard work involved in processing the three years of produce. It would have come a different way, which is they would've only needed a small amount and they would've had blessing because of this. This is an extremely important point - we can't see the success of bitachon, or lack of it, because we don't know what's going on in anyone's home. We don't know whether the fellow works less, is happier with less, and just has a general better state of mind and quality of life, versus the man who is questioning, getting all the answers, but with a lot of hard work. The less you ask, the less you question, the less work and the easier it is. The fact that a person is busy working hard and filling up his time is not always the best thing. Maybe if he wouldn't have asked, he would have an had easier time. This is an extremely important lesson. The Rabbi makes an interesting diyuk . In the case of both the manna and Shemitta , the word Sivoi is used. God had to command . It says He commanded the heavens from above. And, I will command My blessing . That means if you wouldn't have asked the questions, it would've happened naturally . It would've been smoother. The fact that you asked the questions, in his words, clogged up the pipes . The pipes got clogged, and now we have call Roto-Rooter to clean out those pipes, making it a bit harder, so to say. In his words, “ We have to
