When we sincerely plan to do a Mitzvah, feel the joy of doing - TopicsExpress



          

When we sincerely plan to do a Mitzvah, feel the joy of doing it. The Torah states, And Moshe and Aharon did as the Almighty commanded them. So they did. (Exodus 7:6). Why does the Torah say So they did when they did not yet do what the Almighty commanded them to do? Only later would they approach Pharaoh on behalf of the Jewish people. Rabbi Yosef Karo, author of the Shulchan Aruch (Code of Jewish Laws), comments that their sincere acceptance to do the Almightys will is considered as if they actually followed through and took action. Our lesson: When we sincerely plan to do a Mitzvah (commandment), feel the joy of doing it. Just planning without taking action will not accomplish very much. When we feel joy in positive planning, we will be motivated to take action. The joy of actually doing the Mitzvah will be even greater because of our anticipation of performing it. This joy is a manifestation of our appreciation of the opportunities to fulfill the Almightys commandments and will increase the amount of Mitzvot we do.
