בס”ד

Moses said to the people:

“Hear, O Israel. The L-rd is our G-d. The L-rd is One.”

G-d made the world.

But G-d did not only make it a long time ago.

G-d takes care of the world every day.

Every flower.

Every bird.

Every tree.

And He takes care of you too.

Every breath you take is a gift from G-d.

That is why we can love G-d.

And we can trust Him.

We show our love by doing what G-d says is good.

For Noahides, that means keeping the Seven Commandments and being kind to other people.

Imagine this.

You wake up in the morning.

You hear the birds singing.

You take a deep breath.

Then you can think:

“Thank You, G-d, for this new day.”

That is a happy way to start the day.

And you know:

G-d is always with you.
