The Supreme Court issued a temporary block on President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in the Chicago area this week.
The court’s unsigned order stated that the president’s ability to federalize the National Guard only applies to “exceptional” circumstances.
The high court stated, “At this preliminary stage, the Government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the justices of the Supreme Court to be discerning in their interpretation of the president’s constitutional authority.
- For wisdom for President Trump and officials in his administration as they seek to uphold the law.
- For federal judges at every level of the Judicial Branch as they hear challenges to the president’s actions and orders.

- Signs and Miracles
For just as Jonah… so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. – Matthew 12:40
In days of confusion and anguish, sometimes people just want a sign that tells them God is still active. They look for signs that He exists. Today, humans are seeking how He might be moving in and through their lives. In Jesus’ days on Earth, it was no different. He was followed by crowds watching for miracles, looking for healing, signs of His power over creation. The people wanted proof that the Son of God was who He said He was, the promised Messiah.
The Pharisees, who were learned in the Scriptures and who should have been the first to recognize Him, sought signs also. Jesus reproved them, then prophetically spoke of what would happen to Him, and He used Jonah as His illustration. For many, what He told them was not enough. They did not have faith to believe Him.
While humanity has changed little in its desire for signs of God’s existence and His movement in the world, God is looking for faith. He wants you to seek Him, not signs. It may seem strange, just beyond the celebration of the birth of Jesus, to talk about His death and resurrection. Yet, both are miracles essential to your salvation and to your ongoing faith. The Lord is all around you, moving in and through you. Keep seeking Him. Intercede for those among the nation’s public servants who may be seeking to find the faith to know that Jesus is who He said He is, and believe in Him.
Today’s Verse: Matthew 12:40
For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” 39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.
43 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”
