George Matheson explores the concept of natural law in the context of God's providence, using the example of the east wind that brought locusts to Egypt as a means of deliverance for His people. He questions why God chose to use a natural phenomenon instead of a more direct intervention, emphasizing that divine actions often come through ordinary channels. Matheson encourages believers to recognize that God's answers to prayers may manifest in everyday occurrences and interactions, urging them to remain open to the ways God communicates through the natural world. He reassures that even when divine help seems delayed or indirect, it is still a manifestation of God's supreme power and care. Ultimately, he calls for a deeper awareness of the divine in the mundane aspects of life.
