“I believe only God can save America”
Reminds me of the story of the church garden. It was dead and uncared for for many years. Then a gardener comes along and starts cultivating it, and in a short time it was beautiful and in full bloom. The minister called the congrergation together to show them how beautiful it was. The minister said, “Look what God has given us”. The gardener said, “Rev, God didn’t take much interest in that garden until I came along.”
The gardner can only support the plants, not create the miracle they contain - their blooming is still an expression of Grace. God's intervention often requires effort to receive. An engineer can create a bridge, but can't create the truths of the math or physics behind it. Forgetting this has led to a very arrogant and scorning world, instead of one of gratitude and wonder.
