During this week’s Jewish service, Rabbi Michele told a story about a motorcyclist. This motorcyclist was conversing with a rabbi and declared that he didn’t need to pray because his life was already full of miracles. The rabbi asked him to give an example. So the biker tells about how he was riding past a cliff and a truck comes zooming toward him and his two options were to ride off the cliff or crash into the truck. Of course, he rode off the cliff. The miracle was that the bike was caught between two rocks, which acted as shock absorbers. The rabbi then asked him, “Who pushed you off the cliff?”
This story was a good reminder for me that God is always there for me. Lately, I have felt as if there have been obstacles in my life that I could never overcome. I was reminded, however, that God would not put things in my life that I would not be able to handle. God knows what is best for me and I need to have faith that everything happens with His good reasoning.
