Genesis 15:6 (GWT)
Then Abram believed the Lord, and that faith was regarded as the basis of Abram’s approval by the Lord.

The father of our faith is Abraham.

Genesis 16:7-12 (GWTransl)
The Messenger of the Lord found her by a spring in the desert, the spring on the way to Shur. He said, “Hagar, Sarai’s slave, where have you come from, and where are you going?”
She answered, “I’m running away from my owner Sarai.” The Messenger of the Lord said to her, “Go back to your owner, and place yourself under her authority.” The Messenger of the Lord also said to her, “I will give you many descendants. No one will be able to count them because there will be so many.” Then the Messenger of the Lord said to her,
“You are pregnant,
and you will give birth to a son.
You will name him Ishmael [God Hears],
because the Lord has heard your cry of distress.
He will be as free and wild as an untamed donkey.
He will fight with everyone, and everyone will fight with him.
He will have conflicts with all his relatives.”

Genesis 15:18 (GWTransl)
At that time the Lord made a promise to Abram. He said, “I will give this land to your descendants. This is the land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates.

1 John 2:2 (GWTransl)
He is the payment for our sins, and not only for our sins, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Proverbs 25:5 (GWTransl)

Take a wicked person away from the presence of a king,
and justice will make his throne secure.

Every follower of Jesus realizes that the current President is evil. Of course, we need to pray for him to be removed from office if he is to continues to try to work against God and God’s Kingdom. Proverbs is clear about evil leaders, they are surrounded by evil councilors.  

Let’s pray for the leaders of our nations to be surrounded by Godly, just, loving, and strong followers of Jesus. 

1 John 2:15-17 (GWTransl)
Don’t love the world and what it offers. Those who love the world don’t have the Father’s love in them. Not everything that the world offers—physical gratification, greed, and extravagant lifestyles—comes from the Father. It comes from the world, and the world and its evil desires are passing away. But the person who does what God wants lives forever.

1 John 2:9-11 (GWTransl)
Those who say that they are in the light but hate other believers are still in the dark. Those who love other believers live in the light. Nothing will destroy the faith of those who live in the light. Those who hate other believers are in the dark and live in the dark. They don’t know where they’re going, because they can’t see in the dark.

1 John 1:5-7 (GWTransl)
This is the message we heard from Christ and are reporting to you: God is light, and there isn’t any darkness in him. If we say, “We have a relationship with God” and yet live in the dark, we’re lying. We aren’t being truthful.
But if we live in the light in the same way that God is in the light, we have a relationship with each other. And the blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from every sin.
