President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are returning from Palm Beach, Florida, to the White House today.
The House Committee of Rules, chaired by Representative Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, is meeting tomorrow to consider legislation addressing authoritarians in school systems, the PROTECT Our Kids Act regarding gun control, the SCORE Act that involved the rights of student athletes to compensation, and “the Reporting of Adversarial Contributions to Education Act.”
The committee is also going to discuss the DUMP Red Tape Act, which would provide a hotline for small businesses to report concerns about regulations in order to alleviate bureaucratic burdens.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump to seek God’s direction as he prepares for the week.

- For the Lord’s will and purposes to be fulfilled in the United States.

Every word of God proves true. – Proverbs 30:5
What is truth? Pilate asked this during his interrogation of Christ. Jesus had just told him His purpose for being on the earth, “For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice (John 18:37). Earlier, He told His disciples, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
Now that news is largely disseminated online, it can be difficult to tell what is and is not true. Many people question the slant of the news that is broadcast by formerly reputable stations. Viewers and listeners are increasingly turning to other news sources. One thing believers can rely on is the Word of God. What Jesus said 2,000 years ago has practical application to what is going on today. God’s Word is something everyone can count on.
Regardless of what is going on in this world, you can turn to the Lord for direction, comfort, and hope. When the news becomes unnerving, turn it off and tune in to the Lord in prayer and Bible study. Pray for the governing officials and citizens of this nation to be lovers of the truth in Jesus Christ. “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12).

How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your word.
10 With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments!
11 I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
12 Blessed are you, O Lord;
teach me your statutes!
13 With my lips I declare
all the rules of your mouth.
14 In the way of your testimonies I delight
as much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate on your precepts
and fix my eyes on your ways.
16 I will delight in your statutes;
I will not forget your word.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.
