The man who once mispronounced “Two Corinthians” now says Scripture shapes the choices he makes from the Oval Office. President Donald Trump told the nation at the 74th National Prayer Breakfast in Washington that faith has become central to how he leads, crediting God with sparing his life and shaping his second term. Weeks later, he issued a Presidential Message ahead of America Reads the Bible, declaring that God’s Word has guided this country through every trial and triumph for 250 years. For a nation drifting from its founding convictions, a sitting president pointing back to Scripture is no small thing. It signals that the Bible still belongs in the public square, still speaks to leaders, and still carries weight in the decisions that shape millions of lives. The Bible itself never asked to be quietly tucked away. It was written to be read, wrestled with, and lived out loud. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” A lamp does not argue with the darkness. It simply removes it. Whatever a person thinks of any politician, the deeper question is personal: when the pressure rises and the path narrows, what actually guides your decisions? Scripture has been guiding ordinary people long before it ever reached a president’s desk, and it will keep guiding long after every name in today’s headlines is forgotten. The Word does not need permission to work. It just needs an open heart. What is one decision in your own life that changed direction because of something you read in Scripture? #trump #faith #america
