President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton.
President Trump previously attended the journalists’ dinner in 2011, when President Barack Obama was in office. In previous years, President Trump had declined to participate in the annual event.
“The White House Correspondents Association has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner, a long and storied tradition since it began in 1924, under then President Calvin Coolidge,“ President Trump announced in March. “In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday… it will be my Honor to accept their invitation.“
The president added, “I look forward to being with everyone this year. Hopefully, it will be something very Special.“
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For wisdom for President Trump as he participates and addresses the American journalist corps.
- For the president and his Cabinet to seek the Lord’s guidance in their actions and decisions.
- For God’s will and purposes to be accomplished in and through the governing officials of the U.S.

- God’s Promised Provision
Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. – Exodus 23:20
Have you tried counting how many promises there are in the Bible—the ones that God has made? According to one tally, there are 3,573! By this calculation, if you made a daily application of each one for your life, you would fill a journal of nine years and nine months. Of course, not all of them apply to you personally, but thousands do.
Why has God given you His promises? Certainly, your faith is built up as you see the Lord fulfill His will. In today’s passage, God promises an angel to guide the Israelites into the Promised Land. However, the promise came with conditions. Their destiny was secured in His promises, so long as they followed His plan for them. Have you considered that your destiny here on Earth has been established in God’s promises for you?
God’s promised provisions for your destiny include His protection, His presence, His provision, and your ultimate possession of the place He has prepared for you (John 14). These are often conditional. Many are dependent on your obedience to His Word. Peter reminds you, “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). To know your destiny in God’s promises, you must first know Him, through the shed blood of His Son, Jesus. There is no other way.
A little chorus children used to sing says, “Every promise in the book is mine; every chapter, every verse, and every line, all are blessings of His love divine.” Find a promise meant for you each day, journal it and your thoughts, be obedient to any conditions, and give thanks to the Lord. Pray for officials in the U.S. government to find their real destiny, not in political achievements, but in Christ Jesus, that they might walk with Him.
Today’s Verse: Exodus 23:20
Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.

14 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.” 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.
12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
