TODAY’S BRIEFING

VANTAGE POINT DEVOTIONAL

  • Friday, October 23

    Today, President Donald Trump will speak at a midterm election rally in the Alico Arena at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida.

    Special Envoy Steve Witkoff met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Oslo, Norway, early this week, and then went to St. Petersburg to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday.

    President Putin agreed to resume peace talks with Ukraine and the United States after November 10. President Trump said that the administration was the closest it has been to resolving the conflict. However, Russia followed the diplomatic meeting with a drone and missile attack on Ukraine, which killed two people and injured 34 others.

    As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

    • For God’s protection over President Trump as he speaks at the midterm rally in Florida today.
    • For the president and his diplomatic team as they negotiate to end international conflicts.
    • For safety for Secretary Rubio as he completes his meetings in India and returns to the U.S.

  • Love and Honor

    Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. – Romans 12:10

    Have you had someone you trusted, with whom you thought you shared a relationship of brotherly affection, turn their back on you for their own gain? Jesus had that experience with Judas. This disciple, who walked with Him for three years and saw His miraculous ministry, offered Him up to the Jewish leaders for money in the end. The relationship and his life were lost to selfish, dishonorable motives. 

    Paul directs the believers in Rome in the ways to follow Christ, the mindset to cultivate, the behaviors and attitudes which will serve them and the community of faith. Paul contrasts the approach of members of the body of Christ with the natural fleshly responses to ordinary situations and troubles. Paul cautions Christians of the enemy’s desire to cause dissension among those who profess love for the Lord. The secular world is full of people who do not care who they step on as they climb the ladder of success. Sadly, some in the Church even lose sight of their reason for serving, desiring credit and recognition for what they do.  

    Paul’s exhortation is a call for holy living in obedience to God’s Word, to put others before self, giving them honor, appreciation, and acknowledgment instead of envious rivalry. Let your love for others be as if they were your own family, because they are your family in Christ! Let your love be genuine, sincere, not merely of words, but with the same tenderness you have for a dear family member. The virtue here is love covered in humility and honor.

    You may be tempted to feel discouraged by the apparent lack of genuine love in the public arena today. Pray that the love of believers who serve in federal, state, and local governments across this nation will stand firmly planted with humility of spirit, so their example may resonate in the hearts of those with whom they work. And intercede for followers of Christ to honor their civic duty to vote in next month’s election.

    Today’s Verse: Romans 12:10

     Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.

    19 We love because he first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother. 

    5 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
