TODAY’S BRIEFING

VANTAGE POINT DEVOTIONAL

  • Sunday, November 1

    President Donald Trump is speaking at midterm election rallies in Salina, Kansas, and Dubuque, Iowa, today.

    The campaign events were rescheduled as the president held tele-rallies for midterm election races nationwide.

    Legislators in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives face conflicting legislation to end the twice-yearly time change. Senator Rick Scott of Florida introduced the Sunshine Protection Act last year to maintain Daylight Saving Time year-round. Representative Mary Gay Scanlon of Pennsylvania introduced the Sunshine for Our Kids Act this summer to keep the nation on Standard Time.

    As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

    • For the Lord’s protection over President Trump as he travels to speak at the midterm election rallies today.
    • For wisdom for federal legislators in the House and Senate as they consider eliminating the time change by keeping either Standard Time or Daylight Saving Time year-round.
    • For members of the federal judiciary as they hear challenges to election laws and procedures.

    Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!  – 1 Chronicles 16:34

    Can you hold two seemingly contradictory truths at the same time? Every follower of Christ will have the opportunity to discover the reality of the saying, “Life is hard AND God is good.“ You may have difficulty seeing the Lord as good in a world of chaos and destruction, and you are not alone. Do not be afraid to admit your doubts and take another look.  

    One of the first steps in recognizing God’s goodness is to double-check that you are looking at life correctly! Some people go through the day making a list of everything “wrong:” the things they want but do not have, and the problems they do have and do not want. Those lists can become a filter of doubt, blinding you to God’s blessings.   

    Giving thanks is the reasonable response to the revelation of God’s gift of salvation through Christ and your adoption into His eternal Kingdom. It is not adopting some fantasy perspective. The Lord’s favor upon His children is an aspect of His character, not a reflection of your worthiness. If you are a child of God, you are blessed and have a reason to be grateful.    

    All the good you find on Earth and in your life comes from God: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights“ (James 1:17). Good things are not a fortunate coincidence or something you made happen. View these clearly as “reasons for gratitude.” Yes, life is challenging, but the Lord is good! Offer Him the praise He is due, and invite those you know to join in that celebration. 

    Today’s Verse: 1 Chronicles 16:34

    Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; 
        for his steadfast love endures forever!

    The Lord is near to the brokenhearted 
        and saves the crushed in spirit. 
    19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, 
        but the Lord delivers him out of them all. 
    20 He keeps all his bones; 
        not one of them is broken. 
    21 Affliction will slay the wicked, 
        and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. 
    22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants; 
        none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
