David’s Daily Devotion for Mar. 27

March 27, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, March 27.

Six years ago this month, the world was shut down tight. Schools, nursing homes, businesses, shops, restaurants, concerts, sporting events - and churches - all closed for the Covid pandemic. It was a bizarre experience, shared by everyone around the world, shared by you and by me. A time that we’ll always remember, even though we’d probably like to forget. And amid that chaos - on March 27, 2020 - David’s Daily Devotions began.

What’s your favorite book of the Bible? I imagine you have one. The book that you know better than all the rest. The book that you have turned to and returned to time and time again. The book that, more than any other, has shaped and guided your spiritual journey.

Biblegateway.com is one of the world’s most popular online scripture sites. They did a study, using search data, and came up with this list of “favorite” Bible books.

On this date, in 1807, a law was passed in England banning the slave trade throughout the mighty British Empire. John Newton was a leader in the abolitionist movement that made that moment possible. Newton is famous for another reason too. He wrote the classic gospel hymn “Amazing Grace”.

On March 24, 1930, the very first church service was broadcast on television. It didn’t draw many viewers. The problem was, back then, only a few hundred Americans even had TVs. But from small acorns mighty oaks grow. Almost a hundred years later, 97% of U.S. households have a television, and even most small churches have some kind of broadcast presence.

March 20, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, March 20. Happy First Day of Spring!

In 1931, British author Eleanor Farjeon wrote a hymn for children. She titled it “A Song for the First Day of Spring”. It was published in a few hymnals but, at her death in 1965, was largely unknown. In 1971, British musician Cat Stevens was making a record album, but needed one more song. Browsing through a bookstore for song ideas, he came upon an old hymn book. Inside he found a simple, lovely hymn about God’s creation that had been written 40 years before.

One faithful reader in Yakima, Washington is over 2000 miles away! Thank God for the internet, where anybody, anywhere, can connect with a message from the Word.

The first day of spring is just 48 hours away as we continue our series on creation and the Creator. Our attention this morning is turned to the theological term “general revelation”. That’s the idea that God reveals Himself - reveals His nature - through nature, through His creation.

David's Daily Devotion for March 17

March 17, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, March 17. We continue our week-long series leading to the first day of spring. And so it’s appropriate to celebrate a day that’s all about green - St. Patrick’s Day. We’re starting to see a whole lot of green here in deep East Texas. In San Antonio, Texas they dye their river green today. Growing up, if you didn’t wear something green to school on St. Patrick’s day - you got pinched!
