TODAY’S BRIEFING

VANTAGE POINT DEVOTIONAL

  • Tuesday, February 24

    President Donald Trump will be giving the State of the Union address on Capitol Hill this evening.

    While the State of the Union is generally delivered before a joint session of Congress in the House of Representatives’ chamber, several members of the minority party have declared they would boycott the speech.

    The State of the Union is an annual address mandated by Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution. The president reports to the Legislative Branch the current conditions of the nation and outlines the priorities of his administration and recommendations for legislation.

    As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

    • For President Trump to seek God’s guidance as he delivers his State of the Union speech.
    • For members of the Senate and House as they consider their attendance this evening.
    • For the mercy and grace of God to be upon the United States and that the Lord will draw the hearts of governing officials and citizens to Him.

  • Forgiving

    Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. – Ephesians 4:32

    Psychologists say forgiveness is letting go of your right to resentment or anger against someone who may have wronged you. It is a conscious and deliberate act. On the human scale, forgiveness does not mean that what has been committed is excused, or even that it is tolerable. In his book, When Bad Things Happen to Good People, Rabbi Harold Kushner suggests you should forgive but remember, so that you would be alert lest the same wrong be done to you again. A quote often attributed to St. Augustine says that failure to forgive or holding onto resentment is “like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.”

    Thankfully, God’s forgiveness is far superior to any of those. Psalm 103:12 says, “As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.” Hebrews 8:12 says that God forgives your sins and remembers them no more.  What compassionate forgiveness that is! As today’s verse says, the Lord expects the same from you. It is a difficult undertaking that can only be accomplished through the grace and Spirit of God working in and through you.

    Your life is a reflection of Jesus and His Gospel. Freely love. Freely forgive. Ask God to reveal His love and truth to those in government and soften their hearts to accept His free grace and forgiveness, so that many might come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

    Today’s Verse: Ephesians 4:32

    Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

    12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
