And it was definitely not skill. I am referring to the recent attempt to take out President Trump. I read an article at American Thinker.
The article was analyzing the release of enhanced video from the scene. The author describes how the perpetrator went into a room which should have been secured, but wasn’t, to assemble the shotgun he had under his coat. While in the room a K-9 unit entered the room and then went on with no reaction. When the shooter came out with the shotgun a group of security types down the hall saw him and “ran” the other way.
My point here is not to analyze what he said about the film or even cast stones at the Secret Service and White House security, although that needs to be done. My point is to remind us that in pagan terms the only thing that keep the president from harm was “luck”.
I say “in pagan terms” because it is becoming clear that what is keeping President Trump vertical is not luck but the grace of God. Blessings. More than coincidence. It certainly isn’t skill on the part of the Praetorians. God has His hand on Trump.
This does not mean he is qualified to be your pastor. It does not mean we should let our guard down. It does not mean they will never succeed. It means that we need to continue to call upon God and live righteous lives ourselves. Trump is not the Messiah nor is he the Antichrist. He is a tool that God is trying to use but we need to realize the success of Trumps efforts depends more on whether God’s people are living as salt and light than on the wisdom of his advisors.
So keep trusting. Keep praying. Live in repentance. Be the faithful remnant that God will be preserving.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Yes. I agree. I may have said this in a prior comment (memory fades at age 82) but I saw God's hand in action in Butler when President Trump turned his head to the left side. I screamed "oh, Dear God, please no"at the TV picture and prayed "thank you Dear Heavenly Father. for saving him" I pray constantly for our President to be blessed and protected by our Heavenly Father.
ReplyDeleteMy mind goes back to George Washington in the French and Indian war. When he came out of one battle his coat was full of bullet holes but he himself was not scratched. We continue to believe and trust.
