TODAY’S BRIEFING

VANTAGE POINT DEVOTIONAL

  • Thursday, December 25

    Merry Christmas from all of us at The Presidential Prayer Team!

    President Donald Trump said, “Melania and I send our warmest greetings to those celebrating Christmas in the United States and around the world. During this joyous time of year, we join a grateful Nation in thanking God for His abundant blessings and boundless love.“

    “As families, friends, and communities come together to rejoice in the birth of Christ, we are reminded of the divine message from the first Christmas: ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.‘ While the challenges that face our country are great, the bonds that unite us as Americans are much stronger. Together, we must strive to foster a culture of deeper understanding and respect—traits that exemplify the teachings of Christ.“

    “As we celebrate Christmas, we remember the precious religious liberties our forefathers so righteously fought to secure. We also pause to pay tribute to those courageous men and women of our Armed Forces who continue to fight for our cherished freedoms. As Commander in Chief, I salute them for their service and thank their family members for their shared sacrifice in this noble mission, especially during the holiday season.“

    “We hope your heart is filled with the love and joy of your faith, family, and friends this Christmas. We send our best wishes for a merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.”

    President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are spending Christmas at their Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

    As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

    • For President Trump and First Lady Melania and their family.
    • For Vice President Vance and Second Lady Usha and their family.
    • That all government officials would celebrate Christ’s birth today.
    • For the people of the United States to turn to the Lord in gratitude for coming to redeem humanity.

Merry Christmas!

  • The Light Has Come

    The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. – Isaiah 9:2

    Five years ago, just before Christmas, the world witnessed something that hadn’t happened for 800 years… the conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn. Though greatly apart, they appeared to be conjoined into one shining star. They were not a star, of course, but together the planets’ reflection of the sun was unusually bright. “A rare Christmas Star,” the media proclaimed.

    But greater than a rare Christmas star is here… Jesus, the Light of the World, whose first advent is celebrated today. The Messiah lights the way for those living in darkness. He turns gloominess into gladness and takes you from deep darkness into the glories of His radiant light. “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you” (Isaiah 60:1).

    Today’s verse says the people “walked in darkness.” While people were dwelling in a dark and perilous time in Isaiah’s day, the same thing is happening today. They do not need a rare conjunction of planets; they need Jesus. If you have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness into His Kingdom of Light, reflect that Light today to others. Jesus said, “I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness” (John 12:46). Pray for each of the nation’s leaders to desire the way out of darkness and come to the True Light.

    Today’s Verse: Isaiah 9:2

    The people who walked in darkness
        have seen a great light;
    those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,
        on them has light shone.

    Recommended for further reading: Isaiah 60:1-6, 19

    Arise, shine, for your light has come,
        and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
    2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,
        and thick darkness the peoples;
    but the Lord will arise upon you,
        and his glory will be seen upon you.
    3 And nations shall come to your light,
        and kings to the brightness of your rising.
    4 Lift up your eyes all around, and see;
        they all gather together, they come to you;
    your sons shall come from afar,
        and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.
    5 Then you shall see and be radiant;
        your heart shall thrill and exult,
    because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
        the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
    6 A multitude of camels shall cover you,
        the young camels of Midian and Ephah;
        all those from Sheba shall come.
    They shall bring gold and frankincense,
        and shall bring good news, the praises of the Lord.

    19 The sun shall be no more
        your light by day,
    nor for brightness shall the moon
        give you light;
    but the Lord will be your everlasting light,
        and your God will be your glory.
