Parshas Eikev: The Only Mitzvah Hashem Asks of YOU - The Incredible Insight of Rav Ovadiah Yosef

okay friends I want to share with you something I saw right before the shear this is an amazing question in we have the well-known and now Israel what does the almighty ask of you it's interesting it says what does ask of you what do you mean what does he ask of you I mean who else is he asking he's asking what what does the almighty ask of himself why what's this word what does God ask of you we never find by any other Mitzvah what does God here's what God asks of you it's a command why the emphasis on what does God ask of you in the sa which is a saer of collected ideas and stories about R RAB said something outstanding in and astounding he says all other all other mid we could we don't doesn't have to say Hashem asks of you because all we need to do is emulate him for example Hashem Clos the baron Hashem closed theum so we emulate him Hashem buries The Dead We emulate him Hashem visits the sick we emulate him all of the were modeled first by even God wears they all the and all the mid the himself fulfills and therefore we emulate him there's only one mid that you can't learn from God there's only one meter where God says I ask the of you but it doesn't apply to me and that's fear of God because hashem's not fear afraid of anything he is he is awesome awesome means NOA means that he inspires a in all those who Behold Him and he is not in awe of anything so of all the mid there's only one Mida that Hashem says I ask this of you why does Hashem ask of you because he doesn't expect it of himself because it's not relevant to him to him hasem fulfills all other but not perhaps this is why the tells us all God has in his safe deposit in his treasury is the fear of God why does God put in his you see an oar is reserved for something special something unique all other things in this world God doesn't have to put in a storehouse or a treasury cuz he has that God has everything he has every good character trait Every Good Deed every good achievement every good accomplishment it's already within his Persona his personality it God encompasses it already there's only one thing that we could say God does not Encompass but he has to put it in a special Treasury and a storehouse this is his prized possession you see everything else he doesn't have he encompasses it that's y the fear of God cuz he doesn't fear but it's something he values more than anything else it's says this is the one thing God asks of you but not of him and maybe we're adding that this is why Y is so dear to him and it's put in his Storehouse okay that's the second offering for today
