I am definitely not a prophet, but I have been saying for some time now that the anti-Trumpers have tried everything short of assassination to keep him off the ballot. Yesterday there was an attempt on his life, a near miss. I'm sure the rumors are flying fast, furious, and false among conspiracy theorists on both sides, but only God's sovereignty could turn a spontaneous turn of the head into a lifesaving intervention. I believe God spared Donald Trump's life. And I hope the nearness of death awakens his soul to the fragility of life and his need for Christ. Only the humble choose Christ because only the humble know they need Him. Of the many words that describe Trump, even from his most ardent supporters, humble is unlikely to appear.
Cable news will be analyzing the shooter's life under an electron microscope for months, but they will not find the answer to why he did it. It is the same reason ordinarily law abiding people will fight for the right to kill unborn babies in the womb. The same reason our nation celebrates one particular sin with Pride month. The same reason so many young people today cannot tell if they are a boy, a girl, or a furry. The reason people of all times, ages, and nations of the world excuse their own sin. "There is no fear of God before their eyes." (Ps. 36:1, Rom. 3:18)
Fear of God is the thing that keeps us from abusing and assassinating each other and those who are attempting to systematically stomp every aspect of God from our society should not be surprised when it spawns people who cannot tell right from wrong. It doesn't take a prophet to see that coming.
