Last week
during a press conference New York Governor Andrew Cuomo boasted about how much
New York had done to curb the spread of COVID-19. Cuomo said, “The number is
down because we brought the number down. God did not do that. Faith did not do
that. Destiny did not do that. A lot of pain and suffering did that, that’s how
it works. It’s math.” Cuomo’s jarring statement reminded me of Herod. “On the
appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a
public address to the people. They shouted, “This is the
voice of a god, not of a man.” Immediately, because Herod
did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was
eaten by worms and died. But the word of God continued to
increase and spread” (Acts 12:21-24 NIV).
