 And God, he typically works through means. What I mean by that is he doesn't just zap things into existence like a magician. He doesn't zap forgiveness into your hearts, but he purchased it through the blood of Jesus, and he delivers it to us through the word and the sacraments. And he doesn't just zap food into your cupboards, does he? He uses people to grow it, bake it, deliver it, and sell it to you. Sometimes he uses people to just give it to us, and uses the church to give daily bread to those who are in need.
