"Powerful people think on a grand
scale. When generals deploy troops, they don't pick individual soldiers,
they send off battalions and brigades. Presidents and prime ministers
don't comb through every local newspaper to assess the state of their
countries. They look at larger trends through broader reports and tools
like GDP figures and unemployment statistics. If anyone tried to manage a
country or an army or a business by attending to every detail, he would
not have nearly enough time to take care of all the problems within his
purview. . . .
"Now, God is all-powerful. And the
power of the most commanding people in history bears nothing in
comparison. Alexander the Great conquered Persia, but God laid the
foundations of the earth. . . . Emperors have come and died, but God lives."
In a recent commentary, Brother Cyril Stola, O.P.,
reflected on God's power, which allows Him to "attend to every particular," including each human being, and on His knowing each of us individually.
