TODAY’S BRIEFING

VANTAGE POINT DEVOTIONAL

  • Saturday, January 17

    President Donald Trump is meeting with Prime Minister Robert Fico of Slovakia at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, today.

    The two leaders are expected to sign a business agreement to advance the building of a new U.S.-designed nuclear reactor in Slovakia. All their prior reactors were Russian-designed. Energy Secretary Chris Wright met with Prime Minister Fico on Friday to sign a deal “on cooperation in the field of civil nuclear energy” between the U.S. and Slovakia.

    President Trump’s administration has been urging Slovakia to end its dependence on Russian energy. The reliance on Russia’s natural gas and nuclear energy has provided revenue for the ongoing war in Ukraine.

    As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

    • For President Trump as he pursues energy deals with nations and seeks to end the war in Ukraine.
    • For Secretary Wright as he advances civil nuclear energy development at home and abroad.
    • For wisdom for the president and members of his Cabinet as they evaluate options to increase national security and end international conflicts.

PRESIDENT’S SCHEDULE

  • Your Duty

    He has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills. – Romans 9:18

    How many things do you do daily out of obligation? It might be interesting to tally it up! Examples include your civic duty to notify the police if you see a crime, and your moral commitment to honor your marriage vows. You probably signed a contract to repay a loan you received from the bank, which is an obligation enforceable by law!

    As Creator of the universe, God alone holds the place of Sovereign Ruler. Unlike you, He does not act out of a sense of duty or fear of consequences. The motivation and source of ALL He does is His own holiness, righteous judgment, and love. His plan for rescuing humankind and restoring the earth is the result of His merciful kindness, desiring everyone to enjoy His glory.

    In Romans 9, God describes two kinds of people populating His earth: vessels of mercy, those people who seek a relationship with Him; and vessels of wrath, those who reject Him and His place of authority. And the Lord is well acquainted with both groups! From an earthly perspective, it is difficult to witness inequity and injustice play out in real time. It is tempting to assign evil motives! But beware of judging anyone or anything from your limited human perspective. Only God knows the heart.

    Pray for everyone in the current presidential administration. Every governing official is a part of God’s plan! Ask the Lord to draw the hearts of each to become a vessel of mercy in the United States through actively seeking God and making decisions to bring His blessing upon the nation.

    Today’s Verse: Romans 9:18

    So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

    Recommended for further reading: Jeremiah 17:5-10

    Thus says the Lord:
    “Cursed is the man who trusts in man
        and makes flesh his strength,
        whose heart turns away from the Lord.
    6 He is like a shrub in the desert,
        and shall not see any good come.
    He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
        in an uninhabited salt land.
    7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
        whose trust is the Lord.
    8 He is like a tree planted by water,
        that sends out its roots by the stream,
    and does not fear when heat comes,
        for its leaves remain green,
    and is not anxious in the year of drought,
        for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
    9 The heart is deceitful above all things,
        and desperately sick;
        who can understand it?
    10 “I the Lord search the heart
        and test the mind,
    to give every man according to his ways,
        according to the fruit of his deeds.”
