Why would God hand pick characters like Samson, David, and his son Solomon to be His representatives?
Because that’s all he had to work with that could handle the job. Trump is all WE have....who can break up the Corrupt Bastards Club in DC.
No, God could have picked any number of others. His plans are not always obvious to us. God used the pagan king of Babylon to punish His people Israel. That doesn’t mean God’s people would be right to voluntarily choose pagan Nebuchadnezzar as their king. Nor should Christians take Philistine girlfriends like Samson, or commit adultery like David, or drift into idolatry like Solomon.
God demonstrates His own power by taking flawed people and using them for His purposes. But that gives us no justification to endorse those flaws, or to overlook them when making choices that affect the well-being of our families and our nation. In America, we get to choose. That’s our responsibility. That means we uniquely own the consequences for a poor choice. Trump is a poor choice, and choosing him over better men will come back to haunt us.
Peace,
