TODAY’S BRIEFING

VANTAGE POINT DEVOTIONAL

  • Monday, January 12

    The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing the first oral arguments of the new year today.

    The case the justices consider today involves the circumstances in which a case can be transferred from state to federal court by a federal contractor. The circumstances involve parishes (counties) of Louisiana seeking to hold oil and gas companies accountable for not obtaining a coastal use permit from the state.

    Since the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals denied the request from the companies to move the case to federal court, the Supreme Court will now hear arguments on the legality of transferring the case.

    As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

    • For the justices of the Supreme Court as they consider the relevant laws and questions of jurisdiction in the case.
    • For discernment for Chief Justice John Roberts as he presides over the high court.
    • For President Trump and officials in his administration as they seek to improve and increase oil and gas production in the nation.

    No purpose of yours can be thwarted. – Job 42:2

    Did you ever watch a painter daub paint on a canvas and wonder what the strokes were ultimately going to represent? As the creation neared completion, did you notice an image or landscape suddenly appear out of what previously seemed to be a confusing or chaotic amalgamation of colors? The artist paints with a vision in mind that will be revealed after all the hues and contrasts have had their finishing touches.

    You may be inclined to observe world events and assume the dark deeds of those bringing harm to humanity are far outside of the Lord’s purposes. But God’s Word says the opposite: “I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the Lord, who does all these things” (Isaiah 45:7).

    Both the good and the bad you see in the world have a specific place in God’s plan. And every book of the Bible affirms the purpose of God’s work: to reveal Himself to all living creatures as the Author of life, light, and love. He is the compassionate Creator, Father, Lord Almighty, worthy of worship.

    The fact that the world and all its brokenness is within God’s purpose and sovereignty is tremendously comforting and amazingly hopeful! He is in the process of rescuing every willing human being and bringing restoration to Earth through Jesus Christ, right before your eyes! 

    Humble your heart the Lord today and acknowledge that His ways are not your ways but His plans are the path to salvation for humankind. Pray for the president’s administration to seek His direction and ask God to draw their hearts to know His salvation.

    Today’s Verse: Job 42:2

    I know that you can do all things,
        and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

    For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
        but the Lord made the heavens.
    27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
        strength and joy are in his place.

    28 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
        ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
    29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
        bring an offering and come before him!
    Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
    30  tremble before him, all the earth;
        yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
    31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice,
        and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
