Kudlow's statement from a Wednesday CNBC appearance was picked up by former fellow CNBC colleague Eamon Javers, who shared it on Twitter.

Did anyone else key on this comment from Larry Kudlow yesterday as he heads into the tumultuous Trump administration? “However this thing works out, it will be God’s will.” — Eamon Javers (@EamonJavers) March 15, 2018

“Eamon Javers pointed it out on Twitter just a few moments ago,” Ruhle said after spotting the tweet. “If you noticed when Larry Kudlow spoke on CNBC yesterday, he ended by saying, ‘However things work out, it will be God’s will.’

“That’s an interesting way to talk about being the national economic adviser to the president. ‘God’s will?' ”

Later in the broadcast of "Velshi & Ruhle," the anchors again pivoted back to Kudlow.

“This will be a challenge to Larry Kudlow, because the position that he’s in now, he has to stand there and represent real data,” Ruhle said.

“Right. But, the fear is he may stand there and represent the president in the face of real data,” co-host Ali Velshi noted.

“Well, as Larry Kudlow said, ‘It’s God will,' ” Ruhle said while hoisting her coffee mug.

In a tearful interview on CNBC on Wednesday, Kudlow thanked the network, which he said “gave me a second chance after my crash and burn" after rehab from substance addiction, where he also used the term “God's grace.”

“I love this place. I'm honored to take this position. It's an enormous honor. My life has had twists and turns, as people know,” he said. “With God's grace, I'll have 23 years clean and sober in a few months. That made it all possible.”

Kudlow, who had been with CNBC since 1989 and was also a budget official in the Reagan administration prior to that, replaces Gary Cohn as director of the National Economic Council after Cohn staunchly disagreed with the president's decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum.
