… the divine knowing – what the Father knows, and what the Word says in response to that knowing, and what the Spirit broods upon under the speaking of the Word – all that eternal intellectual activity isn’t just daydreaming. It’s the cause of everything that is. God doesn’t find out about creation; he knows it into being. His knowing has hair on it. It is an effective act. What he knows, is. What he thinks, by the very fact of his thinking, jumps from no-thing into thing. He never thought of anything that wasn’t.
