How Involved Is God?

Psalm 65:9 (KJV) Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

When I read a verse like this, I think about the involvement of God, not only in our lives, but in the natural world that surrounds us.  Paul tells us that Christ is actively maintaining the world.  I sometimes think about Him, supervising the electrons as the orbit around the nucleus in the atoms of the universe.  Here I’m looking at the grain.  I find myself wondering just how involved He is in things.

Is God so infinitely involved that He supervises the development of each kernel of grain that grows?  If you want to feel the awesomeness of God and how beyond our understanding He is then convince yourself that He could do this and that He actually does.  That is how much potential He has.  My real question is not whether He can, it’s whether He does.

I tend to think that there are many things in our world that He sets up and puts in motion with some kind of alarm to inform Him when something is going wrong and then concentrate on more important things.  At the same time, I know that He is so extensive that it would be no big deal for Him to supervise each one.

So?  In our daily lives, it doesn’t make much difference which way it goes.  What does make a difference is it gives us a chance to meditate on His characteristics and attributes.  That can be very beneficial
