We've all heard the quip about making plans & G-d laughing.
Sometimes no matter how you plan, & no matter how hard you try, life doesn't always go the way you want it to, & you don't always make it to the promised land.
Take for example, Moses. The poor guy goes through so much, works as the hand of G-d,
gets it together, getting the people out of Egypt.
I mean parting the water, & schlepping all these ungrateful, whiners all over kingdom come.
Getting right up to deliverance, &........nada.
Maybe he didn't always give his best effort.
Maybe he would rather have just stayed in bed.
Maybe he waffled more than we know about confronting pharaoh, I know I would have.
He was promised relief. A reward of a lifetime.
& it just didn't happen.
& that frustrates me to no end.
Life isn't always fair. Sometimes it just doesn't turn out like we wanted, despite our best efforts.
Sometimes, that's the lesson.
