The U.S. Transportation Department has been taking action to hold states accountable for issuing commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to foreign nationals who are not legally residing in the country.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) found in October that roughly 22 percent of Colorado non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) were issued illegally. The agency reported that many of the licenses were given to Mexican nationals, which is prohibited under federal regulations.
The Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles canceled 262 CDLs this week after being warned by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy that federal transportation funding would be withheld and the state’s CDL program could be suspended.
Secretary Duffy said that the delay in the state’s compliance jeopardized the safety of Americans.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Duffy to be led by the Lord as he seeks to improve highway safety and ensure CDLs are properly issued.
- For President Trump and administration officials as they continue to address foreign nationals residing in the U.S. illegally.
- For state leaders to be discerning as they assess their transportation and license issuing programs.
A Future Filled with Hope!

- The Lamb is the Shepherd
For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd and he will guide them to springs of living water. – Revelation 7:17
Shepherds are featured in both the Old and New Testaments. “Shepherd“ is mentioned 111 times in the Bible, “sheep“ appears 198, and “lamb“ occurs 191 times. Bible scholars often say that when you see repetition in the Bible, you should pay attention! Psalm 23 relates that God is a good shepherd taking care of His sheep. In the New Testament, the angels announced the birth of the Messiah to shepherds. Jesus said He was the Good Shepherd who gave His life for His sheep (John 10:11). He also said His sheep know His voice. (John 10:27).
If you have given your life to Jesus, you have heard the Shepherd. As the Shepherd described in Psalm 23, He promises to guide you and take care of you. With Christmas over, you may be trying to dig out of upheaval, deal with illness, or perhaps avoid the news of division between political parties. You may approach January as a time to evaluate your past year and set goals for the new year. Planning could seem a daunting task as changes occur in your personal life as well as the nation’s economy and political landscape.
Revelation speaks of Jesus as the Lamb being the Shepherd. Of course, this refers to Jesus being the sacrificial Lamb for the forgiveness of sin. In your quiet time today, give praise to the Lord that He has the power to transform your life and guide you through all circumstances. Intercede for the people of the United States to receive His salvation and be ready for the second coming of the Shepherd Lamb.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
3 He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.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.
