Va-eschanan: Moshe's Prayer class 1

[Moderator]

Post comments and questions on the class here!

[Seema1]

Rashi says that "yaish l'tzadikim l'tlos b'maaseihem hatovim". What is the source of this principle?  Isn't everything a "matnas chinom"?  Does a tzadik  "earn" the abundance that Hashem gives him daily? Doesn't Hashem give everything with chesed (b'chen, b'chesed, uv'rachamiim) to a tzadik as well?

How does the Maharal answer the question that he raised? Since we already know from the context of the next pasuk that Moshe is asking for a "matnas chinam," why does the pasuk say that here in the first pasuk?

The source is Sifrei Vetchasna 23.
This question is the very question that the Klei Yakar raises, and
therefore interperts the statement of Chazal, as based on future
mitzvoth that they will do.

It is understandable that the son obviously has the much deeper connection with his father, the king, and therefore is more likely to have his requests answers, but maybe a servant also has the ability to feel so privileged to serve his master that he doesn't feel the need for reward.
