Interesting. What do you make of miracles, then? Does God work everything out lawfully according to codicils of laws we just haven’t figured out yet, or does He on occasion just make a sovereign move that demonstrates that the laws of nature do not limit Him??

The thing about miracles is that they are, in a sense, the intrusion of the sovereign will into the natural order. God always reserves the power to change individual things, but he never reverses the general principle, so to speak. In addition, miracles are essentially just the natural order as it would be had not sin and death entered. Goodness and life triumph.
