SF - The Joy of Moshe Opened the World of His Success

After the wise men of Israel completed all the vessels and components of the Mishkan, no one knew how to assemble it -- so they gave up. When Moshe saw the problem "Ruach Hakodesh" rested upon him and endowed him with the merit to set up the Mishkan. The excellence of Moshe was not in his superior engineering skills, rather it was his holy character. Moshe focused not on the difficulty of the task, but only on the love and excitement of this precious Mitzvah. When he saw the wise men had completed the making of the vessels, he rejoiced with the supreme joy of performing Mitzvot. It was this joy that kindled the "Ruach HaKodesh," and merited him to succeed in fulfilling the Mitzvah of building the Mishkan.

Moshe's mastery of greeting the Mitzvot with great joy awakened for him the merit of Divine assistance.

Celebrate the preciousness and love of Mitzvot. This joy will bring special heavenly blessings of help and accomplishment. Regardless of the apparent difficulty of the task, HaShem will grant us success in our spiritual endeavors, and we will merit to rejoice in the holy light of the Shechinah.
