David's Daily Devotion for April 17

April 17, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, April 17.

There’s a word that shows up often in the Word, but not so often anymore in our modern culture. It’s the word “redeem.” I first encountered this word, as a boy, not in a church, but in a grocery store. When my mother bought her groceries, along with her change, she would get stamps - S & H Green Stamps. Maybe you’re old enough to remember those too.

Do you recognize the name Elizabeth Holmes? Well, on this day in 2015, Time Magazine named her one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World”. She was just 30 years old, but her company - Theranos - was estimated to be worth over nine BILLION dollars! Her invention of a device that would revolutionize the process of blood tests and medical diagnostics had taken the world by storm.

But it was all a lie.

David’s Daily Devotion for Apr. 15

April 15, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, April 15. Spiritual Lessons From a Mother Hen, Chapter Two.

Recently I wrote about seeing my neighbor’s hen on a cold, early spring morning, as she wrapped her wings around her eleven baby chicks. It reminded me of Psalm 92:4 - “He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge”. Well, yesterday I got yet another spiritual lesson from that mother chicken.

David’s Daily Devotion for Apr. 14

April 14, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, April 14.

I’m a big history fan, and sometimes that personal interest leads me to focus the Daily Devotion around some great historical event. And then that reference (hopefully) opens the door to a spiritual thought. There are some dates on the historical calendar, however, that seem to have passed without any earth-shattering, momentous milestones.

April 14 is definitely NOT one of those dates.

David's Daily Devotion for April 9

April 9, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, April 9.

With thoughts of Easter still fresh in our minds, we remember this morning that Resurrection Sunday wasn’t Christ’s last day on earth - there were 40 more. The Bible mentions at least ten encounters that Jesus had during that period before His ascension back to heaven. Time with His disciples, with His family, and once with over 500 followers. God knew that the truth of the Resurrection would be the foundation of our faith, and so He wanted to give us plenty of confidence in that truth.

David’s Daily Devotion for April 7

April 7, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, April 7.

How many Bibles do you own? Do you have a favorite? Which one was the most expensive? Which one do you read the most? Or perhaps you only read the Word online. If so, you’re in good company. In the last ten years the Bible app business has exploded. The popular site “YouVersion” recently celebrated its one billionth download!

David's Daily Devotion for April 6

April 6, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, April 6. 

The Bible is a book that is dominated by stories about men. I challenge you to name more than ten significant female characters from the Word. Why is this? Perhaps it’s because the Bible was written within a culture that was dominated by men. Whatever the reason, we must admit that women in scripture are few in number. But we must also agree that the women of the Word were often mighty in faith. Women like Queen Esther, Deborah the judge, Priscilla, a co-laborer with Paul, and Mary, the mother of Christ.
