I expected to see you take some heat for it, but nope.
I think more of us are starting to understand. Too bad this won't fit in a tag line...
There are three types of people involved in this sort of discussion:
1. Those who can see the end of the road from the beginning
2. Those who can't, but who trust God to steer us away from trouble
3. Those who think they're smarter than God, who steer us wrong and get us all in a bad part of town
There are always too few in the first category to keep us out of trouble. If there had been enough in the second category, we could've prevented those in the third from ruining our nation. This is why John Adams declared, "This Constitution is written for a moral and religious people. It is inadequate for the governing of any other kind."

“Those who can see the end of the road from the beginning.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some would argue (me, for instance) that the road is far too long for any of us to see the ending. And way too dark.
But we have (God-given) headlights - just as a car - and we CAN see 100 yards down the road. And that leads us to your second point:
“Those who can’t, but who trust God to steer us away from trouble.”
Great observations.
