Regarding divine intervention and being rewarded for good deeds/punished for bad deeds.

There are a lot of factors at play. Some of them are:

1. Foreordination - we were foreordained to do certain things and experience certain trials in this life
2. Adversity - adversity is the result of our choices, the choices of others and foreordained trials
3. Timeframe for being rewarded/punished - I'm not aware of any rule that states how long you have to wait to be rewarded for a good deed or punished for a bad one
4. Divine intervention - I think it's entirely possible we will come to discover that divine intervention has directly affected our lives a lot more frequently than we think. I think Divine Intervention and Foreordination have some significant overlap.

There's my five minutes of thought on the subject.
