Daily Chizuk #1449

This week's parasha Ki Tavo begins with the mitzvah of bikurim, where a farmer brings a basket of fruits from the seven species to the Kohen and recites certain pesukim. The Mishnah describes the bringing of the bikurim as a very elaborate process. There were crowds of people waiting to greet the landowners in Yerushalayim, with music playing in the background. It is noteworthy to point out that the farmer only had to bring one fruit from each of the species.
The sefer Mapik Margaliot writes, we see from here the unbelievable value that the Torah places on the littlest deeds that we do. Imagine a farmer with orchards full of fig trees or date trees and thousands of fruits that are going to grow upon them, and he takes just one to do the mitzvah of bikurim, and the Torah makes such a big deal over it. When he walks to Jerusalem with the basket, everyone who sees him stands up in honor of the mitzvah he's doing. To the onlooker, it may have seemed that a king or president had just arrived, but it was just a man holding a basket of fruit. To us, it looks like something simple, but the Torah knows how valuable it really is.
Every deed accomplishes worlds in Shamayim. We don't necessarily get to see their effects down here, but rest assured, every deed we do is immeasurable.
Shabbat Shalom,
