Emuna Beams

Did you ever stop and ponder Hashem's magnificent creation of Planet Earth, with all its wonders like the Northern Lights, the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls and much more? That vast Planet Earth of ours is only a miniscule part of the solar system, and only one-millionth the size of the sun. Yet, our entire solar system is like a grain of sand within the Milky Way Galaxy, which in turn is like a fleck of dust within the vast super-galaxies that extend beyond our imagination. Now stop and think: Hashem momentarily turns aside from His entire vast universe to create a rain drop, make a flower blossom and help a newborn chick hatch out of the egg. Imagine what He does to perfectly direct every tiny facet of our lives in mind-boggling Divine Providence. Why? Because He loves you so very much, more than you can ever imagine.

Life is like a six-lane highway. Each direction has three lanes. The left lane is for fast cars. The right lane is for slow vehicles. The left lane is hazardous, with impatient tailgaters, and the right lane, crawling with semitrailers, is tiresome. The middle lane is the best choice for enjoyable driving. Similarly, the Rambam teaches that the "middle of the road" is the best lane to choose in life.

People ask, "Where in the Torah does it say that I have to exercise? What's wrong with cornflakes or pizza and cola? They're kosher!" There must be a missing commandment that they never learned about...
