Welcome to daily dose of בטחון . We're on the topic of finding Hashem in creation, which as we said is important for our בטחון .Now, the חובת הלבבות in his שער בחינה opens up with the following important line. טובות הא-ל יתעלה על בריותיו . The benefits and the goodness of God on his creations, הם כוללות את כולם . They include everybody. As it says in תהלים , we say it every day in אשרי, טוב ה׳ לכל . God is good to everybody. Even though that's the absolute truth, he says most people are blind from recognizing it. And even if they recognize it, to understand the true benefit and levels of goodness that God gives us, and we don't really pay attention.This is what we're going to talk about today, this important concept of belief in this פסוק called טוב ה׳ לכל . And we say every single day in our עמידה, הטוב שמך . Your name is good. That is God, that's God's name, his name is good. Everything about him is good. His whole goal in creating this world was good. We say, ובטובו חיינו , we live in his goodness. In the גמרא it says you can't say מיטובו , we get from his goodness, because that sounds like we're outside of his goodness. He's here, giving us something good, that's מיטובו , that's not true. ובטובו , we're living in his goodness, everything is good, we're surrounded and bathing in his goodness. There's a beautiful מדרש in תהלים that says יבוא טוב , let the good one come, ויקבל טוב , and receive the good, מטוב , from the good, לטובים , for the good ones. A lot of good going on here. יבוא טוב , let the good one come, who's that? That's משה , as it says about משה, ותרא אותו כי טוב הוא . What's he getting? יקבל טוב , the goodness. What's the goodness? תורה is goodness, as it says in משלי 4:2, כי לקח טוב נתתי לכם , I gave you a gift of goodness. טוב, מטוב , from the good one. Who's the good one? That's Hashem. How do I know? Our פסוק, טוב ה׳ לכל . Give it לטובים , that's the Jewish people, like it says, הטיבה ה׳ לטובים . So God's description giving us the תורה is he's called the טוב . That's his name.It's interesting, we say every day in our prayers, המחדש בטובו בכל יום תמיד מעשה בראשית . When I was preparing this class, I realized something more than I ever paid attention to. I know that Hashem is מחדש בכל יום תמיד . He's recreates, creation's not here once and just stays on. Every moment God is recreating, מחדש בכל יום תמיד מעשה בראשית , every day constantly renewing creation, pumping energy into creation. But I missed a word, מחדש בטובו . God is constantly renewing his goodness, it's coming from his goodness. The שפת אמת in ויקרא פרשת החודש , year 5638, has an interesting way of reading the פסוק . מחדש בטובו , God rejuvenates, renews with his goodness. What does with his goodness mean? It means with the Jewish people that are called good, that we're the ones that recognize God's goodness in creation and we renew it and appreciate it daily. That's our job as טובים . There's a משנה in פרקי אבות 3:15 that says, הכל צפוי , God knows what's going on, he sees. והרשות נתונה , means he knows what's going to happen, yet we have freedom of choice. ובטוב העולם נדון , and the world is judged with goodness. And the רמב״ם says on this משנה in פרקי אבות that Hashem judges us with kindness and goodness, not what we deserve, but rather he has ארך אפים ורב חסד ואמת , God is full of kindness. And what's my source for this משנה ? טוב ה׳ לכל . טוב ה׳ לכל doesn't just mean that God gives goodness, but God judges us with a good eye. And this is a principle that the מסילת ישרים says in more than one place. In דרך ה׳ , unit one, chapter two, when he discusses the purpose of creation, he says, תכלית הבריאה . היא . What was God's purpose in creation? להיטיב מטובו יתברך לזולתו , to give from his goodness to others. In the ספר דעת תבונות , letter 18, he says, what we could understand is that השם is תכלית הטוב ודאי , is the ultimate goodness. And therefore, מחוק הטוב הוא להיטיב . The way of the good is to do good. And that's what השם wanted. He created us so that he could benefit us. But he says, since השם wants to give us the ultimate good, and he knows that if you receive and you didn't work for it, you can't appreciate it. It's someone that receives what he didn't work for is ashamed to pick his head up and look at the benefactor. Therefore, God in his ultimate goodness made life full of challenges so that we can overcome the challenges and truly enjoy the goodness that we get. Look how concerned Hashem is with our Goodness !
