QUICK NAVIGATION
- Sunday, January 25
President Donald Trump issued an executive order to prevent federal programs from approving, insuring, guaranteeing, securitizing, or facilitating sales of single-family homes to institutional investors.
“Buying and owning a home has long been considered the pinnacle of the American dream and a way for families to invest and build lifetime wealth,” President Trump stated. “But… that American dream has been increasingly out of reach for too many of our citizens, especially first-time homebuyers. At the same time, a growing share of single-family homes, often concentrated in certain communities, have been purchased by large Wall Street investors, crowding out families seeking to buy homes.”
The president explained, “To preserve the supply of single-family homes for American families and increase the paths to homeownership, it is the policy of my Administration that large institutional investors should not buy single-family homes that could otherwise be purchased by families.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump as he seeks to ensure the housing market is balanced and affordable for families and first-time home owners.
- For wisdom for the president and his administration officials as they seek to improve the nation’s economy.
- For department secretaries as they collaborate to keep institutional investors from using federal funding to purchase single-family homes.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. – Genesis 1:1
Did you ever see the wonder of a starry night sky away from city lights? Have you ever seen the fantastic images from the James Webb Space Telescope? Have you seen odd creatures at the bottom of the ocean? Or explored the flora and fauna of an old forest? Or have you watched a sunset among the saguaro cacti? Have you considered the miracle of the human body and how it functions? If so, you might have touched the edge of what it would be like to stand in God’s glory.
David stated in Psalm 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of God.” Paul said, in Romans 1:20, “For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.” David exclaims in Psalm 139:14, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” David marvels in Psalm 8:3-4, “When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him?”
It is awesome to think that, compared to the size of the universe, humans are like amoeba! But God loved the people of the world so much that He sent Jesus as a sacrifice for sin (John 3:16). Take time this week to go out in nature and ask God to reveal Himself to you. As you spend time in prayer, intercede for this nation and its governing officials. And, as the Lord Jesus taught, pray for the Father’s will to be done on Earth as it is done in Heaven. God is an awesome God!

O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!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.
