And likely even more:
First of all I want to emphasize that the message here concerns free will; and God’s wisdom that is present to assist us in the exercise of our free will.
One of the things that is so difficult to explain to ourselves and to others concerning where is God and why did He or didn’t He intervene to prevent evil? As Charlie would say: the very fact that you know the difference between the two proves God’s existence. So:
As I think on where we are in these end of age times, just how is God involved, or is He involved? I think that it is very obvious that in the case of DJ Trump and the shot fired at him; almost all who believe in God including Trump, these all know that God’s Angels had been and are assigned to grant Trump, thus far, total protection. That goes for both human angels, and God’s heavenly host. You can bet that He is involved in these end of the age times with human events, even as He was in our earth’s beginnings, and with our human free will existence.
So, why did He not offer up the same orders to protect Charlie? Actually He did.
The God’s timing factor:
Just think, had Charlie been taken off the stage of life earlier on in his career, very few would have the present thoughts in mind that they do now. Thoughts that can and will impact their minds hopefully for good. Remember God does want good to be chosen over evil. He wants all to be saved. That salvation only comes as we entertain truth about ourselves and ponder over good and evil. And those thoughts must lead us to God thoughts and eventually to His love for us and to the Jesus factor in man’s salvation. And to finally what free will is intended to lead us to: a decision to yield ourselves to Christ, and to follow Him wherever He may lead us.
So why did God choose this time and place to take Charlie home? First, Charlie had accomplished in his short lifetime more than most of us, who have lived beyond God’s gift of what is programed in our DNA (or the seventy years as stated in Scripture). Each of us has a purpose and Charlie had fulfilled his. You and I, as average Joes, will not come close to having the influence that he had.
The God’s placement factor:
So why was it there in Utah? Did you watch the Utah Governor Spencer Cox, make his appearance on the stage of our nation. Not only did he give a message of encouragement, but he offered a warning for America. We will either use this moment to improve as individuals and thus as a nation, or we will not. Secondly, this Governor has now come to the attention of conservatives the world over as being someone to listen to, and to motivate possibly even a nation sometime in our future. And only God knows where that will lead.
So does the God factor matter? – absolutely. He has the days of every one of us numbered. The decisions that He makes to intervene or not are huge. And it is not our place to question Him as the Atheist’s do. God is all knowing. He has chosen to allow evil simply because without it there is no free will. And without Him in your life there is no way to discern which is which. One day Satan’s evil will be unleashed on this earth, for a brief time, in order for us to see, if we can see spiritually at that time, that evil is just that. And then we who have chosen against evil in favor of God and His Christ will understand why His wrath will then vanquish evil from off the earth.
God’s decision in one’s death goes beyond our understanding. He will let us find these answers one day. In the mean time Trust Him, for He is Trustworthy.
