But, in addition, God affects us by determining that in the universe certain causes shall bring about certain effects. Cause and effect is, therefore, the operation of God through normal channels rather than through special channels. We have our normal way of acting when we drive a car. We can more or less put it in "automatic pilot" while we carry on a conversation, but when an emergency arises, we take conscious personal control. I have a hunch that God has something for which this automatic pilot will serve as an illustration. That is, His routine way of operating is cause and effect, and He is in control of it, so that when cause and effect affects us, then God is affecting us. That is what the Apostle Paul means in Galatians when he says, "Do not kid yourself -- God is not blind. What you do, you will get paid for." The causes which we have set in operation by our own personal choices will inevitably bring about certain results. But God is involved because God makes cause and effect to work.

It is God. We have mistaken the nature of poverty, and thought it was economic poverty. No, it is poverty of soul, deprivation of God's recreating, loving peace. Peer into poverty and see if we are really getting down to the deepest needs, in our economic salvation schemes. These are important. But they lie farther along the road, secondary steps toward world reconstruction. The primary step is a holy life, transformed and radiant in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hasten slowly, and without losing heart, put your work twenty times upon the anvil. [Fr., Hatez-vous lentement; et, sans perdre ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hasten slowly, and without losing heart, put your work twenty times upon the anvil. [Fr., Hatez-vous lentement; et, sans perdre courage,  Vingt fois sur le metier remettez votre ouvrage.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mountains are earth's undecaying monuments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43290]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mountains are earth's undecaying monuments.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alis volat Propriis [She flies with her own wings] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alis volat Propriis [She flies with her own wings]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Custom will reconcile people to any atrocity; and fashion will drive them to acquire any custom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Custom will reconcile people to any atrocity; and fashion will drive them to acquire any custom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a fount about to stream, There's a light about to beam,  There's a warmth about to glow,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59457]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a fount about to stream, There's a light about to beam,  There's a warmth about to glow,   There's a flower about to blow;    There's a midnight blackness changing     Into gray;      Men of thought and men of action,       Clear the way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is of no small commendation to manage a little well.
