i've heard people say God doesn't micro-manage things, but, Phil, if He doesn't, how could He possibly make a promise like all things work together for good?
no, i don't believe He's a divine watch maker who set things in motion and was done. He's the Almighty and He graciously invites us, commands us, to be part of the means by which He accomplishes His perfect will. i don't know how it works, as i'm a bear of very little brain like Pooh. lol
but i know it's a privilege and it makes me happy.
