TODAY’S BRIEFING

VANTAGE POINT DEVOTIONAL

  • Wednesday, December 17

    President Donald Trump will give a national address from the White House this evening. In his announcement, the president said, ” It has been a great year for our Country, and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!”

    The Senate Armed Services Committee, chaired by Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi, is holding a closed briefing today on the U.S. military strikes on narcoterrorists from Venezuela.

    Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth provided information to the House of Representatives on Tuesday regarding the U.S. strikes on narcoterrorist vessels in the Caribbean.

    Secretary Rubio stated, “We are dismantling the infrastructure of terror organizations operating in our hemisphere, undermining the security of Americans. Threatening, killing Americans, poisoning Americans. This has been a highly successful mission that’s ongoing.”

    As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

    • For President Trump to be led by the Lord as he addresses the nation.
    • For Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth as they explain the legality and strategy of strikes on the Venezuelan narcotics cartel vessels.
    • For the safety of members of the U.S. Armed Services stationed around the globe.

  • Sanctified Relationship

    The law was our guardian until Christ came…but now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. – Galatians 3:24-25

    The book of Leviticus is where God clearly calls out His people to be set apart from the rest of the world. He implores them to a life of sanctification and holiness. Leviticus is sometimes referred to as the “book of life.” In its pages, the Lord presents His desire and plan for His people to live in continual relationship with Him. In fact, He gives many specific rules and laws to the Israelites for living a holy life. On the positive side, the laws reveal His nature and will and instruct them how to live. On the negative side, those laws point out people’s sins and show them that it is actually humanly impossible to please Him by trying to completely obey all His laws. Even all the Levitical sacrifices could not permanently resolve the sin issue. A permanent sacrifice was needed.

    Jehovah Mekoddishkem means “the Lord who sanctifies.” The law teaches the need for salvation and cleansing from sin. God’s grace provided this redemption through Jesus Christ. As a result, people can now become alive in Him and embrace His desires while simultaneously becoming dead to the sin nature and human will.

    So as you celebrate Christ’s birth this season, thank Him for being the ultimate sacrifice. He came to Earth in human flesh in order to pay the price for your sins so you could be in relationship with Him. And as you are consecrated to Him, you are sanctified by your Jehovah Mekoddishkem.

    Pray that your national and local governing officials would also accept Christ’s sacrifice on their behalf, allowing Him to sanctify them into a holy life of relationship with Him.

    Today’s Verse: Galatians 3:24-25

    24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,

    7 Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God. 8 Keep my statutes and do them; I am the Lord who sanctifies you.

    13 Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.

    18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,
