Holding the Wheel

February 4, 2014 by Rabbi Mitterhoff Leave a Comment

driving-22959_640G-d created the universe for man. He handed over the world to us and put us in the driver’s seat. Our job is to search for the true good and drive in that direction. Despite all this, G-d will always help us to go in any path we desire. He even helps the thief to steal.  But G-d won’t drive because that would defeat the purpose for why we were put here in the first place.
