David's Daily Devotion for October 13

October 13, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, October 13.

This morning we focus on a famous, beautiful, and inspiring passage of scripture - I Peter 2:1-5. Take a look.

“Rid yourself of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. As you come to Him - the Living Stone - rejected by men but chosen by God, you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house.”

David's Daily Devotion for October 9

October 9, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, October 9.

Yesterday I was sipping my morning coffee, sitting in my porch swing, when an intruder came onto my property. My place is bounded by woods, and from out of the woods came a young deer. She took a leisurely stroll across my yard and then disappeared into the woods on the other side. We’re in a dry spell here in deep East Texas so maybe she was looking for water. There’s a pond back in those woods and I imagined her dipping her head down to sip her morning drink.

On October 6, 1927, a memorable movie premiered in New York City. It was called “The Jazz Singer” and was the very first “talkie”, a film with synchronized sound. The audience that night was stunned by this new technology and reacted with a standing ovation. Movie-goers across the country, and then around the world, followed suit. The silent film era was over. Sound had won.

David's Daily Devotion for October 2

October 2, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, October 2.

Today we focus on the power of music. Have you heard about the war that was won... with singing? This amazing story is found in 2 Chronicles Chapter 20. As we read it, we find that Israel was besieged by not one, not two, but three invading armies. Their prospects looked hopeless. The day before the big battle King Jehoshaphat called his people together.
