TODAY’S BRIEFING

VANTAGE POINT DEVOTIONAL

  • Thursday, March 5

    U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the White House would be implementing President Donald Trump’s 15 percent global tariff this week.

    Cargo ship

    Under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, the current 10 percent tariff could be raised to 15 percent for up to 150 days to address trade deficits. After that time, congressional approval would be required to extend them.

    President Trump’s administration continues to explore the laws and statutes that allow the president to impose levies after the U.S Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not authorize the broad latitude for the tariffs he implemented last year. Secretary Bessent indicated that he expected the tariff rates would return to the rates they were before the high court’s ruling within five months.

    As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

    • For Secretary Bessent and the president’s trade team as they implement tariff policies.
    • For wisdom for President Trump as he imposes tariffs under various laws and statutes.
    • For the justices of the Supreme Court as they hear and rule on challenges to the president’s orders.

  • Strength in Waiting

    But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength. – Isaiah 40:31

    When you read the biographies of some of God’s warriors in modern times, you will find that, to a person, they emphasize the priority of seeking the Lord in prayer and then waiting quietly in His presence for whatever He might bring. God and Jesus should be the center of your attention, A.W. Tozer wrote in one of his journals. “There is Master Planning, and there is the Master’s Planning. May we not confuse the two. To know His plan requires waiting before Him. Then we can be strong and take heart,” he wrote.

    When you wait quietly before the Lord, it allows His peace to flood your heart. Placing yourself in the trusting posture of total dependency and submission, you can reflect and meditate on His power and might. A portion of today’s verse reminds you that, as you wait on the Lord, your strength will be renewed, and you will mount up as on eagles’ wings. Waiting on Him is restorative and strengthening.

    As you face decisions, you may be inclined to move ahead with urgency instead of waiting on God. Waiting becomes less challenging the more you keep your focus where it belongs. Accept the rejuvenation that comes from waiting on Him today. Intercede for the Supreme Court justices who know the Lord to also wait on God to renew them and guide them in His wisdom and strength.

    Today’s Verse: Isaiah 40:31

    but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
        they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
    they shall run and not be weary;
        they shall walk and not faint.

    22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]
        his mercies never come to an end;
    23 they are new every morning;
        great is your faithfulness.
    24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
        “therefore I will hope in him.”

    25 The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
        to the soul who seeks him.
    26 It is good that one should wait quietly
        for the salvation of the Lord.
