President Donald Trump is speaking at a fundraising event at Red Rocks Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, today.
The president will discuss the economic progress his administration has made, including the tax cuts under the One Big Beautiful Bill last year, as well as advancements in addressing fraud and crime.
“By passing no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, and no tax on overtime, President Trump and [his party] guaranteed Americans receive bigger paychecks and keep more of their hard-earned money,” White House regional press secretary Liz Huston stated.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the safety of President Trump as he concludes travel out West.
- For the president to seek God’s guidance as he addresses issues facing the nation.
- For discernment for members of the Cabinet and military leaders as they seek to implement President Trump’s agenda.

- Your North Star
For I the LORD do not change. – Malachi 3:6
Shakespeare had Julius Caesar state, “I am constant as the northern star,” as a metaphor for his faithfulness. But even Polaris is subject to change. Scientists have determined that it is brighter today than it was in ancient times, using measurements from the 10th and 16th centuries. However, it still sits almost directly in line with Earth’s axis, and it is still an excellent marker for navigating— it has not moved!
Today’s world is constantly changing. Finding your fixed point of reference in such turbulent times must be considered carefully. Many put their trust in political platforms and social programs for justice, yet the Bible warns not even the best human intentions can be completely trusted.
The love of God is the believer’s North Star – it does not move: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore, I have continued my faithfulness to you” (Jeremiah 31:3). And nothing can separate you from it: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? … For I am sure that neither death nor life nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come nor powers, nor height nor depth nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:35-39).
Always depend on the Lord and His love as your guide. Recognize that no politician, celebrity, good work, or worthy cause can provide the stability and security you seek. Anchor your hope only in God! Pray for U.S. governing officials to seek the Lord, the true North Star, as they make their decisions, that the nation may experience His blessings.
Today’s Verse: Malachi 3:6
“For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.
