Providence

(George MacDonald - found here)

“‘How should any design of the All-wise be altered in response to prayer of ours? How are we to believe such a thing?’ By reflecting that He is the All-wise, who sees before Him, and will not block His path. . . . Does God care for suns and planets and satellites, for divine mathematics and ordered harmonies, more than for His children? I venture to say He cares more for oxen than for those. He lays no plans irrespective of His children; and, His design being that they shall be free, active, live things, He sees that space shall be kept for them.”
