CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 6, 2020
THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE WAY THE MEDIA AND OTHERS ARE RESPONDING TO NEWS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP CATCHING COVID-19 COULD NOT BE MORE STARK. CHRISTIAN INDIVIDUALS, ORGANIZATIONS AND PEOPLE OUTSIDE WALTER READ HOSPITAL ARE PRAYING FOR HIM.
PEOPLE AT THE WASHINGTON POST AND NEW YORK TIMES ARE WRITING ALL-NEGATIVE STORIES ABOUT HIM, AS ARE SOME ON SOCIAL MEDIA WHO HAVE SAID THEY HOPE HE DIES AND WORSE.
PRAYING FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY IS A BIBLICAL COMMAND, BUT OF COURSE IF ONE DOESN’T READ SCRIPTURE, OR BELIEVE IN THE ONE WHO CAUSED IT TO BE WRITTEN, THAT DOESN’T APPLY TO THEM. ONE MIGHT AS WELL BE SPEAKING TO A DEAF PERSON.
I HOPE THREE THINGS COME OUT OF THE PRESIDENT’S ILLNESS. FIRST, THAT HE GETS WELL AND FOLLOWS DOCTORS ORDERS. SECOND, THAT HE WILL DEMONSTRATE SOME HUMILITY WHICH WOULD RESONATE WITH THE COUNTRY, OR AT LEAST MUCH OF IT. AND THIRD THAT HE WILL BE SAVED. THE PRESIDENT REPORTEDLY ASKED SOMEONE “AM I GOING TO DIE?” IT’S A GOOD QUESTION BECAUSE WE ALL WILL FROM SOMETHING. THOSE ARE GOALS AND ATTITUDES WORTH PRAYING FOR AND I HOPE YOU WILL JOIN ME IN DOING SO. I’M CAL THOMAS
