God sent a prophet to Jeroboam regarding the altars he built. Jeroboam attempts to have the man seized, but his arm his seized up instead. Then God demonstrates His power by destroying the altar. The prophet also speaks of the coming reign of Josiah, who will not reign for some time.
So, does God still step in today when things are looking dire? Sometimes. I believe He does. In fact, I read a recent story concerning the war in Israel. A missile attack was launch on Israel. Had it hit, it would have been the deadliest attack on Israel to date. Israel attempted twice to shoot down the projectile, but failed. Then a strong wind blew up & forced the missile off course. It exploded in the sea. http://www.ijreview.com/2014/08/167229-rocket-cause-worst-terror-attack-israels-history-miracle-happened/
Why does God step in at times and at other times He seems to stay silent. I have no idea. But what I do know is that God has His perfect reasons. Have you ever heard the analogy of the woven tapestry? Each of us are the strings. We only know what directly touches our string, but God sees the finished product. In fact, God created the tapestry. He knows its past, present, and future. Because I have a relationship with God, I trust His decisions. That's what faith is all about.
