0:00 It's also seen that the bracha of Moshe Rabbeinu that again for Gush Halav, the area of Asher was filled with all of this oil as well. We will see a number of tremendous life lessons from this story. Now we will say if you notice the messenger, right? He went from Lod Kia, went to Yerushalayim. There wasn't anything in Yerushalayim, they sent him to Tzur. He went to Tzur. No, not in Tzur, go to Gush Halav. We will say 0:22 sometimes to get what you want in life, you have to show up at a lot of the wrong places. Sometimes we just make wrong turns, we just get to the wrong destination, we get so frustrated. When I want something out of life and yet I'm not at the right destination. And sometimes, right? This guy gets to Yerushalayim. No, wrong place. Tzur, no, wrong place. Gush Halav. In life you have to ask that what you want often sometimes the journey of life just sends 0:46 you to a lot of like wrong destinations, but they're not wrong destinations because each destination ultimately gets us closer to our ultimate destination. The difference just is most people give up at the first wrong turn. And those who don't give up on the first wrong turn sometimes give up on the second wrong turn. In life, you have to be ready to take your wrong turns and recognize that even the wrong turns get you a little bit closer to your ultimate 1:09 destination. Lesson number two. We will say if you notice what's incredible about this story, when the gentile when the when the when the when the gentile shows up to the Jew, he essentially says, "I need I want to buy like a million dollars worth of worth worth of oil." So we will say so what happens? What happens? You would have thought what would the Jew have done in that moment? Somebody comes here to say I have a deal, million dollars. What do you do? What do you do? What do you do? 1:33 You throw down your shovel, you throw down whatever you're doing and you just jump on it. What did the Jew do? I'm in the middle of doing something right now. Let me finish up pruning or hoeing the trees. Let me get my stuff, clear out the rocks here. We will say success in life comes when you find seder, when you have an order. We have when when you have an order. And the Jew understood if the money is going to be there, the 1:55 money's going to be there. But there's a seder to follow in life. Sometimes we chase the money and we disrupt the seder. We disrupt the seder of ruchniyus, we disrupt the seder of family, we disrupt so many things in chasing in chasing that profit. That's not the way that parnassah works. 2:14 Parnassah will be there because Hakadosh Baruch Hu guarantees it's going to be there. But sometimes maintaining the right seder and that's by the way that's shemen, right? Shemen is wisdom, not knowledge, wisdom. Understand there's a seder to things and if you follow the seder, not only again will you have the money, not only will you have the deal, but at the end of the day she even made more money. And we will say lastly, what do we see from here? 2:36 We see we will say that oil flows because Hakadosh Baruch Hu chooses it to flow. It doesn't matter who's [snorts] in charge of the straits of Hormuz or anywhere else. Oil flows because Hakadosh Baruch Hu chooses it to flow. 2:53 It'll stop flowing when Hashem doesn't want it to flow and it'll start flowing the moment he wants it to flow. Sometimes we look at the world and we think that there are human actors who determine the progression of of of the events in this world. It's not true. So important always for us to understand that Hakadosh Baruch Hu controls the world, that Ribono shel Olam has always controlled the world and will always control the world. And that's why again 3:17 we will say if we go ahead and we stick to our seder, we recognize that our job is to be servants Avadim Hayinu LePharaoh and now Baruch Hashem we are Avadim to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. If we keep that seder and we keep that lifestyle and we maintain a strict adherence to that which Hakadosh Baruch Hu wants from us, somehow, some way, no matter how 3:40 many times you get lost over the course of life, everything works out. Maintain the seder, maintain the order, maintain the fidelity and allegiance to things that Hakadosh Baruch Hu wants us and the journey will end up where it's supposed to end up. We will get to where we need to get to and ultimately again the events of life will unfold the way that Hakadosh Baruch Hu needs them to. The difference just is we so often kind of 4:03 get we lose our way. We lose our way. Right? This the deal comes our way, we we run this way. Some event happens, we get lost, we we we give up. Stay the course. If you stay the course, maintain that fidelity and allegiance to Hakadosh Baruch Hu, recognize that this is the season where we pledge our avdus to the Ribono shel Olam, then and only then do magnificent things happen. We will say shkoyach. 4:27 An incredible day. We'll pick up here tomorrow.
