Why Should I Fear a Pawn?
Korach
Moshe's modesty was greater than all men
We are told and reminded of this, again and again.
But though he was a leader for a great nation, a most prestigious role
Moshe's modesty surpassed, the loftiest of souls.
So let's ponder ... What is modesty? What does it mean?
Low self-confidence? Low self-esteem?
A modest person probably feels, he has great worth
For he was created in G-d's image, from the day of his birth.
That every talent, is not something he owns
But an item borrowed, a gift on loan.
He doesn't feel like a big shot; more like one of the crowd
He might repeat this over, say it out loud.
He doesn't want fanfare, or applause
A simple man, working for a positive cause.
But one thing is certain. One thing is clear.
Being modest has absolutely nothing, to do with having fear.

Moshe was faced with a giant, of enormous might
Og Melech Habashan, he had to fight.
Og was this awesome giant, and many men in Moshe's situation
Might view this "human beast", with trepidation.
BUT NOT MOSHE RABBEINU!
Moshe was fearless, confident and calm
Ready and willing, to take this giant on.
So it seems, the lesson is clear
A modest man, has only H-shem to fear.
They bravely think ... Why should I get nervous and fear mere mortal men?
They are only pawns in the hands of H-shem!
