August 28, 2026 President Trump Issues An Important Alert “President Trump declared a national emergency on Wednesday, August 26, [2026] to secure the national power grid, citing unusual and extraordinary foreign cyber and security threats. The order prohibits certain foreign-made bulk-power system electric equipment, including software that poses cybersecurity or operational risks, from being purchased or installed in the U.S. ‘Certain foreign actors are increasingly creating and exploiting vulnerabilities in the United States bulk-power system, which provides the electricity that supports our national defense, vital emergency services, critical infrastructure, and economy,’ Trump said in the order. “Experts say vulnerabilities in the national power grid present an attractive target for sabotage. China has been studying how to hack and crash the system, even conducting simulations to trigger a large-scale outage or systemic collapse, according to one study. ‘We were alarmed by recent reports indicating that Communist China has already compromised the integrity of power inverters connecting our power grid,’ Senators Rick Scott (R-FL) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) write in a letter to the Department of Commerce. ‘We are concerned about recent reports indicating these CCP-manufactured parts and systems allow for remote access, unauthorized data exfiltration, and even operational disruption.’ Foreign cyber hackers have already attacked public utilities this year, according to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). ‘Iranian cyber actors continue to target U.S. critical infrastructure,’ said Asst. Director Brett Leatherman of the FBI’s cyber division.”(1) In light of this information, today’s post is on the “watchman” concept of prayer. “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (1Peter 5:8 NASB) “With every prayer and request, pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be alert with all perseverance and every request for all the saints.” (Ephesians 6:18 NASB)

The Lord is Good
