    What we witnessed is providential. Former President Trump was nearly assassinated but his life was spared.

    Providence meant God's presence in 1776 and the hand of Providence was with him.

    “Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

    Dr. Marc Siegel, a Fox News contributor, reached out to emergency room physicians across the country. One of them said they had never seen anything like this, where a high-powered rifle shot resulted in a grazed ear and no other serious damage.

    "The Almighty was smiling on him and works in strange ways," Dr. Leon Pachter, New York Langone Health, told Siegel.

    "This was a divine intervention there is no doubt. Unbelievable Miracle here, a medical miracle and a miracle of all kinds," Dr.  Siegel reflected.

    Former U.S. Army sniper and current Congressman Corey Mills (R-FL) also attributed Trump’s survival to a miracle from God.

    "So, this is divine intervention. This is God having his protective hand and wearing Ephesians 6, the armor of God, over the president," Mills.

    I thought of these two similarities from American history that are inspiring:

    Former President Theodore Roosevelt was shot in front of a Milwaukee hotel where he was about to give a speech. After leaving office in 1909, Roosevelt ran for president as an independent in 1912. A glasses case in his coat pocket and his 50-page speech spared his life and slowed the bullet so that it only pierced a muscle in his chest and did not reach his heart.

    Roosevelt, a larger-than-life personality from New York, showed immediate defiance.

    “Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose," Roosevelt said within minutes of being shot. Roosevelt gave his speech for 50 minutes before he received medical care.

    His competitors Woodrow Wilson and President William Howard Taft suspended their presidential campaigns after this attack.

    President Roosevelt stenographer holds the speech with the bullet hole through it.

    At age 23 in 1755, George Washington wrote to his brother in a letter that he appeared “in the land of the living by the miraculous care of Providence that protected me beyond all human expectation for I had four bullets through my coat and two horses shut under me, yet was unhurt."

    Washington was the only officer who was not killed or injured in this battle in Western Pennsylvania, not far from where President Trump was.

    I wrote about Washington's miracle in Battlefields and Blessings, Stories of Faith and Courage from the Revolutionary War.
