Former President Trump survived an assassination attempt after a gunman shot at him at a rally in Pennsylvania. The bullet only grazed his ear, but one man was killed while guarding his family. Two others were seriously wounded. If the bullet had not veered by an inch, our nation may have faced greater turmoil. Yet God made clear His providence over human events and his special grace towards America in this moment. In a statement, Trump said that “it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.” This tragic assassination attempt is a wakeup call to the brokenness of our politics and a reminder that we do not settle our political disagreements through violence, but rather at the ballot box.
