Divine Intervention
The first English settlement in America was in Jamestown, Virginia. It was a disaster. Nine out of every ten people who set sail for this new world colony would die the first year.
In 1610 the survivors decided to abandon the new world. They all got on their ships and were on their way when the sails of the large ship Deliverance appeared. Lord De La Warr had been sent to be the new governor, and he urged them to return to the abandon town. He knelt on that land which had been so unkind and thanked God for bringing them there safely.
Had he been just a little later all of history would have been different, and all the people would have died, for they only had food on their ship to get them a third of the way back to England.
They had an immediate service of thanksgiving for God’s providence in saving the project. It was still a long hard struggle, but the project was saved, and the history of America was radically altered because the hand of God intervened in history.
If not for ‘‘Divine Intervention’’ America may not have ever got off the ground and the only history that we would know would be one of utter failure, but because the Lord saw the bigger picture for this nation, He sent help and that help came in the very nick of time. There are stories upon stories of how God intervened to protect such an infant and helpless nation.
