David’s Daily Devotion for July 26

July 26, 2022 - Good Morning!  It’s Tuesday, July 26.

On this day in 1863, a man passed away at the age of 70.  In those seven decades this man -

*Fought in the War of 1812
*Lived for three years with a Cherokee tribe
*Was elected to Congress
*Served as a US Senator
*Was governor of Tennessee (AND Texas!)
*Led the Texas army to victory at San Jacinto
*Was the first president of the Republic of Texas
*Ran for president of the United States

An utterly amazing life.  And at the age of 61, this man did the most amazing thing of his life.  Sam Houston . . . was baptized.

Meet you back here tomorrow,

Bro. David
