President Donald Trump is continuing to monitor the actions of Iran and oversee U.S. military operations in the Middle East.
Separately, President Trump said he would request that the Supreme Court immediately rehear the case on birthright citizenship after billboards advertising birth tourism hospitals have reportedly been placed along the U.S.-Mexico border. The president stated, “American citizenship is not for sale! In fact, that is a crime.”
The Great American State Fair on the Washington Mall concludes today with a focus on Innovation. The theme will highlight the future of artificial intelligence, space propulsion, robotics, energy, and engineering.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the Lord to guide President Trump as he makes decisions regarding the war in Iran.
- For the justices of the Supreme Court as they consider the president’s request to rehear the case on birthright citizenship.
- For members of Congress as they craft and introduce legislation to ensure U.S. citizenship is given only to children of American citizens.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. – Romans 8:28
Earle Dickson was the cotton buyer for the Johnson and Johnson Company in the 1920s. He was frequently on the road, leaving his wife Josephine at home. She was apparently quite accident-prone, either cutting or burning herself almost daily. When at home, he would dress her wounds using the 3-inch-wide rolls of surgical tape and bandages that were available at the time. But this was not something Josephine could do for herself. One day, Earle had the idea to cut the roll of tape into inch-wide strips, put them on the kitchen counter, sticky side up, then add small squares of gauze in the middle of each one, leaving enough sticky tape on each end for Josephine to use in dressing her wounds on her own. He would later mention his idea to the company president, and Band-Aids came into being.
In his way, Earle made good out of a bad situation. Today’s verse shows that God does this regularly. While there will be adversity in the life of believers, God’s assurance is that—if you love Him and walk according to His plan for you—He will turn what can look like the worst of circumstances into something good. Only His power can sustain, protect, heal, and transform you. You can have confidence, knowing that “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion at the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6).
Pray, study, worship, and fellowship with other believers. Do the work He has given you to do. All will be well, according to His plans. Pray that judges across the United States will learn and found their administration of justice on the precepts of the Word of God.
Today’s Verse: Romans 28:8
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

25 “These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.
