Divine Intervention

Divine Intervention

Don’t be upset, don’t grow weary,
When plans collapse, when doors close suddenly.
A man’s heart deviseth his way:
But the LORD directeth his steps. (Proverbs 16:9)

You begged to get on that flight,
To your long-awaited destination.
But the gate was shut,
And your heart sank in frustration.
You wept, you shouted, disheartened by delay—
Until news came of disaster,
And your soul whispered, thank You, Lord,
For this was divine intervention.

You missed the train, because the tailor was late with your new clothes.
What felt like anger and wasted time,
Became your rescue—
The train met tragedy, and you realised it was not the tailor’s tardiness but divine intervention.

Esther was crowned, Joseph was sold,
Stories of sorrow in Scripture are told.
Yet God was working through every pain,
To bring His people life again.
What seemed like loss was God’s design,
Yes, this too was a case of divine intervention.

And think of us all—
When sin entered the world,
Darkness sought to consume us whole.
But Christ stepped down from heaven’s throne,
Took on flesh, bore the cross,
Rose victorious.
The greatest act of mercy was God's divine plan to save man
The greatest Divine Intervention.

So, child of God,
When plans are broken,
When roads are blocked,
Don’t lose heart.
Lift your eyes and trust His hand—
For every delay,
Every detour,
Every disruption—
May be His protection,
Maybe His love,
Surely it will be His divine intervention.

Praise Him!
Praise Him still—
For His mercies never fail.
Praise Him!
Praise Him always—
For His Divine Interventions.
