Shnayim Yomi - Devarim - R'vi'i - #4 - Rabbi Joey Haber - The Lasting Impact of Our Actions

Do you realize the danger that lies in any given day in I think we're going to have a hint to this message. Now the Jewish people yesterday they complaining about is and Hashem now tells them you're not going in. And in this in the Jewish people now say, "Hashem, we want to go in and they they try to go up the mountain and the and those that are sitting in the they run after the Jewish people and they battle them and defeat them and Hashem doesn't let them to go in." Like they want to just we're going to go and Hashem says, "No, you're not going." And then the says they returned and they cried in front of Hashem. If you look in the actual story in parasal, it doesn't tell us about this crying. Instead, it tells us about the crying when they heard the bad report. But in paras where we are, it tells us the crying about this one after they tried to go and it didn't succeed. And it doesn't tell us they cried when we got the bad report. I think the reason why is this is that in the moment of the story, that first cry felt terrible. We're crying. We can't believe what's happening, Israel. But they don't realize that that cry is going to last very long because it's the beginning of the 40 years. They're just crying. Oh, tonight's a terrible night. Mosheu now is telling them the next day you tried to go into Israel and Hashem said no. And you cried and you don't realize how long that cry is going to last. We're now 40 years later and that cry lasted for a very long time because you're still not in. And this is the message that a person needs to realize that you think, "Oh, this is just today I'm complaining. Today I'm upset. Today I get angry. It's not a big deal." Mosher Raen was showing the Jewish people. You thought it was just a one day thing. The spies came back. You cried. Oh no. It's a cry that would last for 40 years. And it's a cry that would hold you out of Israel for 40 years. So in the moment you thought that cry mattered. I'm showing you now that this cry that after you try and you didn't succeed. It's not like okay we're going to try tomorrow. Hashem what he did he meant and he kept. We have to be careful. You can't just say it doesn't matter. I'll get angry today. I'll break something today. I'll yell at someone today. Sometimes the damage is way longer of impact than you expected. Hopefully we never make this mistake and have a great day.
