God has been giving me some amazing revelation as I have been praying. Thanking God for Divine intervention is a prayer of surrender to His best because we can be confident that He works in ALL things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28) Thanking God for Divine intervention is a prayer of open hands...trusting, believing, and receiving God's best in each and every situation. Thanking God for Divine intervention is an acknowledgment that He is God and I am not. He knows the plans that He has for me and for you! They are plans for good and not for calamity to give us a future and a hope! (Jeremiah 29:11) God's thoughts are nothing like our thoughts and His ways are far beyond anything that we could imagine! (Isaiah 55: 8) We don't have to figure it all out...God has already done it!
There is no gray area between God and Satan. It's either light or dark. There is no in between. Jesus made it very clear for us when He said, "The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." (John 10:10) The devil tries over and over to convince us that there is gray and reason to doubt. Did God really say? Does God really love you? Does God really know what is best for you? Can you really trust God? What if...? Jesus called Satan the father of lies and those are the devil's trail markers...lie, steal, kill, destroy.
But God gives us freely and filled with grace a life that is rich and satisfying and abundant. He warned us through the Apostle Peter, "Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith." (1 Peter 5:8-9)
This life of thanking God for Divine intervention is not a passive life. It is a life of active faith that stands in the face of a roaring lion and overwhelming darkness and impossible situations and thanks God that He has already intervened on our behalf. It is a life of obedience and surrender to God's best in every situation. My hands are open and I am thanking God for His Divine intervention!
