TODAY’S BRIEFING

VANTAGE POINT DEVOTIONAL

  • Friday, November 14

    The Department of Energy renewed emergency orders to support Puerto Rico’s electric grid. The island territory continues to prepare for increased demand and seasonal storms.

    The Energy Department explained that these orders “authorize the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) to dispatch generation units essential for maintaining critical generation capacity, while accelerating vegetation management to reduce outages and strengthen long-term grid reliability.“

    “Modernizing Puerto Rico’s energy grid is essential to achieving long-term reliability and affordability for the Commonwealth,” said Energy Secretary Chris Wright. “Our team is working with local and federal partners to boost power generation and accelerate vegetation management efforts to strengthen Puerto Rico’s electrical grid.”

    As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

    • For Secretary Wright to be discerning as he evaluates the power grid of U.S. states and territories.
    • For President Trump and members of his administration as they endeavor to increase the nation’s energy independence.
    • For members of the House and Senate as they consider legislation involving energy production and development.

PRESIDENT’S SCHEDULE

  • Abiding Peace

    A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh. – Proverbs 14:30

    Two artists were commissioned to paint a picture of peace for a prize of $250,000. The first painter created a serene portrait of a lake with the sun glistening across the water. The artist added a young girl skipping near the lake with a yellow balloon securely fastened to her wrist. Trees towered gracefully on one side of the lake, with birds gathering in their tallest branches.

    The second artist painted a pitch-black sky. Lightning zigzagged through the air in unpredictable movements. This painter also had water, but it cascaded down a rocky cliff, flooding into a tumultuous canyon stream below. The trees were bowed by the wind. But in the center, sheltered in the cleft of the rock, a little bird sat on a nest. One faint light shone on the bird as it quietly covered its eggs, despite the situation around it.

    The second painter won the competition. The judges chose the artist who showed the truest manifestation of peace — a well-being that resonates from within regardless of the circumstances.

    One of the names of God is Jehovah Shalom. That means He is the Lord of peace and well-being. When you have a relationship with Jesus, He becomes your Jehovah-Shalom, the One who brings the peace that surpasses all understanding. So when your situation appears dark, praise Him during the storms and allow Him to shine the light of His peace into your heart.

    Pray that U.S. believers in Christ turn away from the chaos of the media and seek Him as their source of tranquility and abiding peace.

    Today’s Verse: Proverbs 14:30

    A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh,
        but envy makes the bones rot.

    4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

    8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
