Do you need any proof?

   Assalamu alaikum.

The Nile River was the Egyptians'
 sole source of water, and they worshiped it as a god. After all, 
without the Nile there would be no bread to eat and no life-sustaining 
blood coursing through their veins.

G‑d, however, was sending them a 
message: "It is not the Nile that nourishes you. It is I who gives you 
life. Proof is that if I turn the water to blood, bypassing the process 
that I have put in place, not only will the Nile not give you life, it 
will make you ill."

It is not my job, my hard work, 
or my unique talents that give me life, but G‑d, who in His kindness 
orchestrates things just so that I may sustain myself.

So, even as we swim up the Nile, trying to stay afloat and solvent, let us make sure to recognize G‑d as the true Giver of Life.

Friendship.
