TODAY’S BRIEFING

VANTAGE POINT DEVOTIONAL

  • Wednesday, November 26

    President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to launch the Genesis Mission. The White House described the mission as “a new national effort to use artificial intelligence (AI) to transform how scientific research is conducted and accelerate the speed of scientific discovery.”

    The mission directs the Energy Department to leverage the National Laboratories and create a closed-loop AI experimentation platform for supercomputers to generate scientific foundation models and power robotic laboratories. The Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST) will coordinate efforts of the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the national initiative, as well as the integration of data and infrastructure in the government.

    “The Genesis Mission connects world-class scientific data with the most advanced American AI to unlock breakthroughs in medicine, energy, materials science, and beyond,” said White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios.

    As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

    • For the president to seek God’s guidance as he supports and advances the use and implementation of artificial intelligence.
    • For Director Kratsios as he coordinates federal artificial intelligence research across agencies.
    • For wisdom for U.S. officials as they deliberate the guardrails to place on AI.

  • Sharpening

    Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. – Proverbs 27:17

    Heat and sparks are the result of two pieces of iron being drawn across each other. The resistance from the friction creates heat that cleans a blade and hones it to a fine, useful edge. In an ideal setting, people who disagree actually help one another, as each one benefits from considering a different perspective. But today, deep division exists in this nation and, tragically, even among professed followers of Christ. How can you navigate disagreement and benefit from it?

    It is important to realize that some conflict is unavoidable! Some issues are vital to the truth of the Gospel, and standing firmly upon your conscience and conviction is legitimate. Jesus was firm about the reality that His message was controversial. “I have not come to bring peace, but a sword” (Matthew 10:34). 

    Pride is a major obstacle to learning from conflict. It is a favorite tool of the enemy to separate you from the knowledge of God and His flowing grace. Do you want to grow in faith? “Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you” (1 Peter 5:6). To be a testimony to Christ, “Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless… without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world” (Philippians 2:14-15).

    Pray for those in authority, in government and churches across this country, to lay down any pride that blocks God’s grace and blessing. Ask that humble leaders, sharpened by knowledge of God, rise up for the benefit of all.  

    Today’s Verse: Proverbs 27:17

    Iron sharpens iron,
        and one man sharpens another.

    Recommended for further reading: James 4:1-6

    What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? 2 You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. 4 You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? 6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
