Divine intervention - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

For God may speak in one way, or in another, yet man does not perceive it.
Job 33:14

Divine intervention
When a nuclear disaster occurred in Fukushima in March 2011 after an earthquake, Naoto Kan was Prime Minister of Japan. A few years later, he commented on this event: “I think God saved Japan at that moment. The containment vessel in Reactor 2 was about to burst like a balloon because a valve didn’t open. The explosion would have thrown huge amounts of radioactive material into the air. But miraculously, the pressure dropped. To this day, no one knows how it happened. In Reactor 4, the fuel rods were about to melt because they were exposed to air in the cooling pool. But the partition wall in the adjacent pool broke, and water flowed in and covered the fuel rods.”

Indeed, God can still intervene to preserve. In some situations, such as in traffic, one really has this impression: Here, I have been preserved as if by a miracle. Those who pay attention to such experiences may thank God for preservation or, even better, ask themselves the question: Where would I have ended up if I had died in an accident?

God always has only the best in mind for us. He wants to reach our consciences through such events so that we will open our hearts to His goodness and let ourselves be saved by Him. God doesn’t want us to perish because of our sins. Therefore, He urgently calls us to repent (to turn away from sin) and to believe in the Lord Jesus.

Let’s take God’s loving warnings seriously!
