The world is abuzz with the news of the failed assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.--This failed attempt is but another instance of God's providence in our lives. --That's because God is in control, and He determines all things. God has numbered our days beforehand, and He both gives life and takes life away.--God ordains, and ultimately causes, the carrying out of all things in His world, using means, even the good and evil motives and acts of men.--None of us knows why God spared Mr. Trump's life last night- We may never know in this life---Some people are glad Trump was spared by God. But others are very disappointed that Mr. Trump wasn't killed.--Some folks believe God spared Trump to save our nation. Others believe that Trump's survival will destroy the nation---In truth, either group may be right, or neither group may be right---God's word teaches that we must be careful not to speculate about the purposes of God's working, unless they become apparent and plain.--We know that God controls and rules over all things, but we do not know His purposes as He does so.--We must also admit that, while God by His providence spared Trump's life, God by His providence took the life of the retired fireman who died shielding his wife and daughters from the would-be assassin.--Therefore, the same question might be asked- why did God not spare his life also-- His poor family must be asking this painful question even now.--But only our God knows- And as believers, we must bow to the fact that it is God's right as creator to do as He did, even as Job ultimately submitted to that truth.
