“As I said earlier this week, I stand before you only by the grace of Almighty God. That’s true. I shouldn’t be here.” – Former President/Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J Trump, Grand Rapids, MI Rally, 7/20/24

He is absolutely right. He shouldn’t.

Last Saturday night, a bullet fired from an AR-15 struck the top of Trump’s right ear, nearly missing entering his brain by a quarter of an inch per Congressional Representative and former White House Doctor Ronny Jackson.

Have you ever experienced God’s grace?

It’s something indescribable and something unexpected.

For those who believe, it is the realization that God cares and is watching over us.

Non-believers usually brush it off as pure dumb luck or a happy coincidence.

What happened to former President Trump can only be explained by the grace of God.

It has been interesting to watch the news people and pundits at MSNBC and CNN try to explain what happened last Saturday night by claiming that it was shards of glass instead of an assassin’s bullet, and brushing off Trump’s near death experience as nothing of the sort, simply a minor injury.

What happened can not be scientifically explained, not even if you make the science up like Fauci and the rest of the Democrat “experts” did with the regulations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you carry the presumption that this was an act of God’s grace, then that means that God has a plan for President Donald J Trump, just as he does with all of us.

I can hear the political experts on social media screaming now about how God could use Donald J Trump with all his faults and brash behavior?

Even though they will tell you that they have, it is quite evident that those who railed against Donald J Trump and the idea of God using him have never read the bible.

Throughout God’s Word, there are instances of him using imperfect men to fulfill his perfect plans.

King David is an example that easily comes to mind. However, he was not the only one.

The thing is, the God of Abraham has used imperfect men throughout history.

He has used them in the history of our own country.

America was founded by imperfect men and women who valued religious freedom and the rights of the individual, including the right to worship Our Creator as they saw fit.

Former President Donald J Trump and his Vice-President pick, J.D. Vance, are not perfect.

There was only one Perfect Man, and He gave His life as “the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world”. (1 John 2:2)

I have a good friend who keeps reminding me that politicians are not the ones who will save America. God is in control.

I believe that this past week has been a reminder to those who are willing to pay attention.

Until He Comes,
