President Donald Trump is meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House today.
President Trump will discuss progress in Gaza with Prime Minister Netanyahu, but the top subject will be Iran. The Israeli leader is expected to promote a broader framework for Iran that includes restrictions on ballistic missiles and support for terror proxies, such as Hezbollah, instead of focusing only on nuclear weapons.
President Trump had pledged to strike Iran last month if the regime did not halt the violent response to protests occurring across that nation. Thousands of Iranian protestors were killed by the authorities, and threats of mass executions linger.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For wisdom for the president and prime minister as they discuss concerns in the Middle East.
- For President Trump to be led by God in his strategies and policies regarding Iran.
- For the safety of Vice President Vance as he concludes his visit to Azerbaijan and travels back to Washington.

Admonishing one another in all wisdom. – Colossians 3:16
Do you have any favorite words? Most people do. Some might greet you by saying, “What’s the good word?” Slang can really get your point across, like “just chillin’ “or “no big deal.” A regular comment from new followers of Christ is their challenge with the language used in some translations of the Bible. Sometimes, the words of Scripture may seem antiquated or even scary! If you do not know exactly what it means, would you want to be “admonished,” ever? It sounds like it could be something unpleasant.
Paul the apostle had favorite words in his vocabulary. The word noutheteo, translated “admonish,” is used 8 times in the New Testament, and only by Paul! The connotations vary a bit, but the general meaning is to instruct, caution, reprove gently, or warn. At times, it goes deeper to include the idea of pleading with heartfelt emotion. It may also be layered with disapproval for one inviting distress or danger onto themselves and others. But in all instances, it is an exhortation for safety and benefit. The bottom line is that Paul cared for the people – cared enough to speak up when he saw disaster on the horizon!
Paul specifically wrote to the church of Colossae because he received reports that they were adopting ideas that led them away from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Colossians were susceptible to religious philosophies enslaving them in hopeless striving for righteousness outside of the grace of God. Paul urged them to admonish each other back to the Christian faith.
Today, as you pray for the United States of America, a nation founded on godly principles, ask the Lord to fill public officials to govern with wisdom and, when necessary, sound the alarm. Do your part, praying and participating, living in a manner that invites God’s blessing upon the nation. Ask God to draw the hearts of those in government to a saving knowledge of Christ Jesus.
Today’s Verse: Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

My son, if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
2 making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
3 yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice for understanding,
4 if you seek it like silver
and search for it as for hidden treasures,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
8 guarding the paths of justice
and watching over the way of his saints.All Scripture quotations and audio are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), copyright © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers. Used by permission. All rights reserved.
