It is an erroneous view to think of God as governing the grand phenomena of nature, and leaving those which are minute to the operation of a set of laws which he does not uphold at every moment in all the fullness of their application. "We cannot," says Chalmers, "disjoin God from one particle of the universe of God." We may despise what is small as beneath the notice of our pride, but nothing is too microscopic for Him who, while "he measures the waters in the hollow of his hand, and metes out heaven with a span, and comprehends the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighs the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance," yet numbers the very hairs of our head, and knows of every sparrow that falls to the ground. The minuteness with which God provides for all wants is well brought out in the sixty-fifth Psalm, where David speaks of him as attending to the very setting of the furrows of the field, and the watering of the ridges. "Thou makest the out-goings of the morning and evening to rejoice; 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 food; Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly; Thou settest the furrows thereof; Thou makest it soft with showers; Thou blesseth the springing thereof; Thou crownest the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness."
