The truth is obviously, God runs the world, but what is the running that he does, this is what Chassidus teaches

Ultimately, every microbe, every atom, everything serves a singe goal which is why our world exists in the first place; for God needen’t have created our physical, for there are countless spiritual, worlds above us; but God in his infinite kindness and love wanted man to freely choose to discover the truth, hence there needs to be a world in which laws of nature seem to predominate, thus giving man freedom to try and find the truth!
