There are all sorts of different Deists.
One aspect of Deism is but a part of my faith (I am not a Deist and nothing else).
I incline to the view that God would not practice blanket 'on demand' intervention to the degree that it nullified his Laws of Nature under which all of creation groans and travails in pain whilst waiting for God's ultimate redemption.
However I do trust that God will, at his discretion, intervene selectively in response to our cries for intervention.
Who knows that God did not intervene, within the last day or two, to prevent a major catastrophe?
I also trust, with a childlike faith, that I am, as constantly as is possible, walking hand in hand with God as I go about what the hymnist describes as "The trivial round and the common task".
That is the balance of my particular faith (so help me God).
