Yet, we follow the behest of the prophet Isaiah who declares, “Lift up your eyes heavenwards and see who created all these!” The Navi urges us to take note of the fascinating interaction of the myriad components of the Divine ecosystem that sustain all forms of life, and keeps the earth spinning on its axis. This theme of surrendering to and embracing the Divine will is echoed in Moshe’s opening words, in this week’s Torah portion: “Take note, I have placed before you a life of blessing or a life of curse.” When you follow the Torah’s precepts and submit to the Divine Will, you will become a source of Divine blessing.

Only because Hashem wills our existence constantly do we exist from one moment to the next.] This recognition is a lofty level, and very few have merited to serve Hashem as a servant–among them Moshe Rabbeinu (see Bemidbar 12:7–“Moshe avdi”) and K
