Parshas Voayra (5771)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
Hashem instructs Moshe to say — I didn’t send you l’chinam, for nothing (Rashi in the beginning of the parsha). Did it enter anyone’s thoughts that it could have been for “nothing”? If a person in not sincere and truthful this could enter his mind and then indeed it truly looks like it was for nothing. This is “darchei Hashem”; b’derech sheadam rotzeh…molichin oso. And so it truly appears to him. The only salvation is to be truthful and sincere.
Have a wonderful Shabbos.
