Practical God?

I was told this week by someone (names are undisclosed to protect the guilty, but you know who you are!) that "God is a practical God." I thought Yes--It seems I remember a few verses about God being practical:

• What about in Genesis when God called the 75 year old, childless Abram--"Now the LORD said to Abram, "I am a practical God. Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. " Nope, couldn't find it.
• Or maybe it was in Numbers--"And the LORD's practicality was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years." No. I was mistaken.
  
• Well, He was practical with Jesus at least. Remember "For God was so practical, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life?" Nope. I kept running into dead ends.

So I did what anyone sitting on front of a computer would do next: I googled "practical God." This led me to an interesting book--Practical God by Ronny Hatchwell and Tsachi Sivan. The description began, "Practical God is a documented conversation between Tsachi Sivan, a young lawyer and business man, and SOL, a pure energy communicating from the highest level of intelligence, who can also be referred to as God." HMMMM. I was sure that this is not what the undisclosed person above meant by practical!
Now, the definition of practical that this person did seem to be using was "capable of being put into effect; feasible" which begs the question, "Practical from whose point of view--ours or God's?" None of the above is practical from a human perspective--Old men having sons, nations miraculously sustained for forty years in the wilderness, the Son of God coming as a man to die. But from God's perspective all of these things were certainly practical, i.e., "capable of being put into effect; feasible."
So, if you mean to say that God is practical from the human perspective, I must disagree. But, if by practical you mean something like "nothing is impossible with God," then yes--God is very practical!
