DIVINE INTERVENTIONS BY GOD
All through Scripture we can see how God divinely intervened on behalf of individuals, armies and complete nations. God has intervened throughout history...and continues to intervene right now in the present on our behalf. As you reflect over your life, you will no doubt be able to remember more than one instance of how you have seen God's intervention in your life. Take a moment and meditate on the following instances in Scripture that God's intervention was so apparent...and then spend time thanking God that He is YOUR God and loves you so much.
