After working hard on my commentary for Shof’tim, my next task is to concentrate on my next turn on commentary, which is coming up in only a couple-three weeks, Va Yelekh. Considering it is the thirty-first chapter of Deuteronomy and deals with the end of the life of Moshe, I can only imagine how personal and difficult this could be, in light of my mother’s recent death. However, I also believe it could be a healing time for me, as well.
While most people would rather ponder happy thoughts like Outer Banks rentals than ponder their own mortality, there is wisdom to be gained by realizing our time in this life is not infinite; the older we get, the more we become susceptible to sickness, disease, discomfort and weakness.
We must pass through this life to overcome it; and an eternity with Adonai and his messiah is certainly not morose. I know both Moshe, and my mother, understood that when the time came.
