BAKER, JAMES ADDISON, III

(b.April 28, 1930), was Secretary of State under President George Bush, 1989–92. He stated in a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, in Washington, D.C., February 1, 1990:

Power does not bring inner security and fulfillment. That comes only by developing a personal relationship with God, which for me is personified by Jesus Christ. Inner security and real fulfillment comes by faith—not by wielding power in the town where power is king. …

When I think back over the hills and valleys of my life, the consistent theme is the one in that 91st Psalm—“I will say unto the Lord, Thou art my hope and my stronghold; my God, in Thee will I trust.”3867
