Vaeschanan: What If Hashem Says "Yes"?

Hi, this is David with the para in five where in five minutes we try to give you a little insight into the para we have to have to be comforted after all the destruction after the three weeks and the nine days and tish and the tenth of and once we come out of all of this we go into shabas wants us to have a and even though we read three of reproof, we read seven of yeah wants us to have and we start with parasan and Rashi tells us the is of because when Mosherenu realized he was not going to be allowed to go into heavened esan said that's it don't dav another because if you do I'll have no choice but to be mat the gazer and Mosha Ber says, "Okay, then I'll stop here." What I say to you, I dab in 515 times. Please, please, please, please, please. Could you imagine asking your parents for something? Please, [laughter] please, please, please. This is a rich balabos. I'm asking him to give me a donation 515 times. Please, why won't you help us? Please give us a donation. And finally, he says to us, okay, that's it. Don't ask me one more time because if you do, I'll give it to you. Um, yeah. [laughter] [sighs] What does that mean? That means that Mosherenu was smart enough that he knew that au is very and he worked out very much the reasoning that Mosherenu should not be allowed to go into it. And he says to Mosher Abenu, you can beat the system. You can figure it out. dive in one more time and that's it. I'll do away with the gazer. But there will be terrible consequences. I'm sure you've heard the expression, be careful what you do in for cuz you might get it. Sometimes we ask for things that are not good for us. And says to Mosherenu, the is tremendous and you're right on the cusp and I have no choice based on the way that I run the world but to give it to you. But it's the wrong thing to do and you have to make this decision. If you have an intelligent kid, a parent can do this for them. The parent can say, "Listen, I told you already know. If you insist, I'll let you do it, but it's going to end poorly for you. Trust me." So if the kid is intelligent and knows that his parents are intelligent, they'll hear that and say, "Okay, I'll stop here." Bam says, "I want to go with these people, uh, the officers of Moab and cursed the Jewish people." And God says, "No, don't go." He comes the next night and says, "They sent even more important people and they really want me to go. Can I go?" He says, "Okay, if you want to go, go." Oh, goody. And Hashem is upset that he's going. But you just told him he could go. Yeah, but I made it clear that I don't want him to. So he sends a Malik to threaten him. And he finally sees the Malik with his sword and he says, "Oh no, do you want me to go back?" He says, "You can do what you want. Now, I'm going to advise you. I'm going to tell you what the right thing is to do. You want to not listen, don't listen. There was a guy in the hospital because he was uh morbidly obese. He had his stomach stapled together. And when no one was looking, he snuck into the kitchen and ate so much that he popped the staples. He sued the hospital. Why don't you have a lock on the refrigerator? Cuz there's so much so much you could do. You You can't force someone unless you have them under a lock and key to do what's in their own best interest. People can go against their own best interest. And people sometimes are not very good at making that judgment. But Mosher Rabu was very smart. And Hashem said, "You could do it and you'll break the system, but trust me, you don't want to go against Hashem. You've lived your whole life to fulfill the will of God." And Moshe says, "Okay, I won't dive in that last." We dive in and our should always be if this is good for me please give it to me and if it's bad for me then I'm counting on you to protect me against myself the king who helps who saves and who is our shield a shield against ourselves. to keep us from doing things that are bad for us and bad decisions and protect us when we're acting against our own best interests. And Hashem, Hashem should always be that shield for us and help us live a successful life. Chavis.
