HaShem Pays Cash Just Wait by Rabbi Yaron Reuven (6 Minutes)

0:14There was a guy one time broke down in Israel, a real story. The car broke down and ran out of gas, not I guess so. The time there wasn't necessarily a gas station on every corner. You had to walk several miles to the closest gas station. And you know, he had a little thing with him, a bucket or whatever, to carry the gas. But as soon as he got there, he saw that on the sign, there was a big billboard on the gas station: "Open 24/7. We're open 24 hours a day, seven days a week." And he decided, oh... Mr. Ba'al HaBayit, Mr. Owner, where's the nearest gas station? And he says, "Here." "No, no, a different one, a different gas station." Ba'al HaBayit didn't know what was wrong with this guy. I don't know, maybe he was trying to sell something, but who knows what the reasoning behind such a question was. He says, "Oh, it's five miles down the road." He says, "Thank you," and he starts walking away. So one of the people that was filling up gas and was well-to-do says, "Hey, sir, why’d you ask him such a question? Why are you walking? You want me to give you a ride?" He goes, "No, no, I'll go, I'll go, it's okay." He goes, "No, but why? What's wrong?" He goes, "I can't fill gas up here. I can't, I can't do it." He goes, "Why not? What, they're too expensive? You need money? I have a few dollars to give you." He goes, "You're not gonna understand, you're not gonna understand." He goes, "No, no, try me, try me. Why am I not gonna understand?" He goes, "Let me ask you something..."

1:29was well-to-do and so he said, "Sir, why did you ask him such a question? Why are you walking? Do you want me to give you a ride?" He goes, "No, no, I'll go, I'll go, it's okay." He goes, "No, but why? What's wrong?" He goes, "I can't fill gas up here. I can't, I can't do it." He goes, "Why not? Are they too expensive? Do you need money? I have a few dollars to give you." He goes, "You're not gonna understand, you're not gonna understand." He goes, "No, no, try me, try me. Why am I not gonna understand?" He goes, "Let me ask you something." you went to a place, you went to a store and on top of the billboard for the store, it says they're embarrassing your father. It's a sign cursing your father out, saying all types of nasty things against your father. Would you do business with them? Of course, you wouldn't do business. I killed them on the spot, burned the place and burned the place on the minute. I burned the place who's doing that because unfortunately this guy's doing it just where where where he's looking. He doesn't know. He goes look. He says he's open 24/7. He says he's open on Shabbat. My Father in Heaven, Hashem Yitbarach, says you're not allowed to work on Shabbat. So not only is he open on Shabbat, he's advertising it to the world that he's a violator of Shabbat and

2:44he's advertising it to the world that he says, "I don't believe that your Father exists, Hashem. You think I'm gonna do business with such a person?" Now, this secular guy that's listening to this, he's like, "Wow, never heard you talk like this." He thinks, "Okay, fine. Listen, I think you're exaggerating a little, but okay, fine, I'll give you a ride." He gives him a ride, drops him off, and says, "Listen, before you go, give me your number in case I ever need to learn something or do something. I'll call you." Exchanged phone numbers and that's it. A few years pass. One day, this tzaddik gets a phone call on Thursday morning from a strange, really long number from a different country. "Hello, hey, what the lava were you know?" "I'm not the lava. Who's this?" "Oh, no, you remember me. I met you." "Okay. Yes, yes. How can I help you?" "Listen, I need you to come to the local bank and..." Which bank? They are the big banks that they have over there. I need you to come to the bank. I need you to meet me. It's in, I think it was in Tel Aviv. "Why? Well, you need money? You lend you money?" "I don't really have much. I'm just an average, a simple worker. I learned." He goes, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I need you to come. Trust me. It's worth it. I need your help," I said. The guy goes to the bank. As soon as he gets to the bank, he goes, "Here, this is for you."

4:12He gives him two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and he says, "What's this for?" He says, "My father just died and he was very rich and he lived in America. He wrote in his will that I'm only allowed to give and..." I'm only allowed to take this money if I give ma'aser to someone that really has yirat Shamayim. Someone that really has yirat Shamayim. And I said, I asked the guy, what's yirat Shamayim? He said, someone that's afraid of God. He goes, oh, I know someone that's afraid of God. He goes, who? Someone that's afraid of God. He's not even willing to get gas from a person that violates Shabbat. You're the only one I know. Hashem pays cash. Pays cash. You just have to wait sometimes.
