When should we expect divine intervention?

My Sunday Scripture 2011.3.13.

The Text: Matthew 4:1-11.

At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was hungry. The tempter approached and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread." He said in reply, "It is written: 'One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.'" Then the devil took him to the holy city, and made him stand on the parapet of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written: 'He will command his angels concerning you and 'with their hands they will support you, lest you dash your foot against a stone.'" Jesus answered him, "Again it is written, 'You shall not put the Lord, your God, to the test.'" Then the devil took him up to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their magnificence, and he said to him, "All these I shall give to you, if you will prostrate yourself and worship me." At this, Jesus said to him, "Get away, Satan! It is written: 'The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve.'" Then the devil left him and, behold, angels came and ministered to him.

My Reading Notes:

The most important issue here is:

When should we expect divine intervention?
For example, in the height of an Earth quake, should we or could we expect an divine intervention?

How do we seperate the human effort and divine intervention?

There must be a balance between the two, thouhg we can not handle it well always. And the first important question is: Havent I well prepared?
Havent we done our best?

Yes you can ask always. But you have to ask yourself first.
