Shnayim Yomi - Devarim - Chamishi - #5

[Music] do you ever find in your life that some things you're doing really just work way better than you expected and other things just don't and you're not even sure the difference why i think in aliyat hamishi it's a long aliyah aliyat khamishi capped in parashat ibarim captures this idea because now moshe rabino is going to recap the jewish people going through different countries and when it comes to the country of moab the jewish people are not allowed to fight when it comes to saiyan where assad is camped and lives the jewish people are not supposed to fight amon also jewish people are not supposed to fight and all of this is listed here but then you're going to go to war with them you're going to go to war with them and you say one second why these we don't these we don't obviously hashem doesn't want us to fight these and does want us to fight these but why what's the difference what's the difference in terms of me whether i could succeed or not the answer is sometimes hashem says this is for you countries that i don't want you to be in the battle with and i don't want you to succeed and then other things you're involved in are like sichuan and og that hashem says this i'm going to help you conquer and sometimes you have to realize this isn't you it's not something wrong with you there are certain points in your life where you say once i have an account with a customer and this account is going so easily and doesn't even make sense why i didn't put a lot of effort and the other account i'm putting a ton of effort and i'm not getting anywhere and i don't know the difference the difference is him just like kasham told the jewish people this country you can't fight this country you cannot fight this country you cannot fight this one you could and this one you could here you're going to succeed in battle here i don't want you to fight at all because hashem decides where we succeed where we don't where we win and where we lose don't get too excited about a victory don't get too down on a defeat because ultimately it's all in his hands and everyone we know has in their life a tremendous amount of failure and a tremendous amount of success because it's not me it's him good luck and have a great day [Music] you
