3:2.1 [[Grand Universe|All the universes]] know that "the Lord God omnipotent reigns." The affairs of this world and other worlds are divinely [[Administration|supervised]]. "He does according to his will in the army of [[heaven]] and among the inhabitants of the [[earth]]." It is eternally true, "there is no power but of God."

3:2.2 Within the bounds of that which is consistent with the [[divine]] [[nature]], it is [[literally]] true that "with God all things are possible."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Mark#Chapter_10] The long-drawn-out [[evolutionary]] [[processes]] of peoples, planets, and universes are under the perfect control of the [[Creator Sons|universe creators]] and [[Paper 33 - Administration of the Local Universe|administrators]] and unfold in accordance with the [[eternal]] [[purpose]] of the [[Universal Father]], proceeding in [[harmony]] and order and in keeping with the all-wise plan of God. There is only one lawgiver. He upholds the worlds in [[space]] and swings the universes around the endless [[circle]] of the eternal [[circuit]].

3:2.3 Of all the [[divine]] [[attributes]], his omnipotence, especially as it prevails in the [[material]] [[universe]], is the best [[understood]]. Viewed as an unspiritual [[phenomenon]], God is [[energy]]. This declaration of physical [[fact]] is predicated on the incomprehensible [[truth]] that the [[First Source and Center]] is the primal [[cause]] of the [[universal]] [[physical]] [[phenomena]] of all [[space]]. From this divine activity all physical energy and other material [[manifestations]] are derived. [[Light]], that is, light without [[heat]], is another of the nonspiritual manifestations of the Deities. And there is still another form of nonspiritual energy which is virtually [[unknown]] on [[Urantia]]; it is as yet unrecognized.

3:2.4 God controls all [[power]]; he has made "a way for the lightning"; he has ordained the [[circuits]] of all energy. He has decreed the [[time]] and [[manner]] of the manifestation of all forms of energy-[[matter]]. And all these [[things]] are held forever in his everlasting grasp—in the [[gravitational]] control centering on [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_11#11:4._PERIPHERAL_PARADISE nether Paradise]. The light and energy of the eternal God thus swing on forever around his [[majestic]] circuit, the endless but orderly procession of the starry hosts composing the [[universe of universes]]. All [[creation]] circles eternally around the [[Paradise]]-[[Personality]] center of all [[things]] and [[beings]].

God adjusts with the mind of imperfection—with [[Urantia]] [[mortals]] through the [[Thought Adjuster]]s.
