David’s Daily Devotion for Sept. 26

September 26, 2024 - Good Morning!  It's Thursday, September 26.

We continue today with a week-long series on what the Bible has to say about dealing with disappointment.

The Bible uses a variety of tools to teach us - from the poetic phrases of the Psalms to the doctrinal statements of Romans to the prophetic language of Revelation.  But, if you're like me, your strongest link to God's Word is through the stories.  

David's Daily Devotion for September 25

September 25, 2024 - Good Morning. It's Wednesday, September 25.

We continue today with our week-long series on dealing with disappointment. What fun, huh? Seriously, I hope these devotions are speaking to you. I know they're speaking to me.

Do you have a nickname? We began this series by focusing on Joseph of the Old Testament. But there's another Joseph that we meet in the New Testament. No, not the husband of Mary, but a Joseph that is actually never called Joseph. We call him Barnabas, a name that, in Aramaic, means "Son of Encouragement."

David’s Daily Devotion for Sept. 23

September 23, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Monday, September 23.

Today we start a five-part series on facing disappointment. We've all dealt with many moments of disappointment, and so God gives us many characters in His Word who dealt with it as well - and came out the other side with renewed hope.

Our first character is perhaps the greatest example of this. He certainly faced as much or more disappointment than any other Bible character. His name was Joseph, and we find his amazing life story in the book of Genesis.  

David's Daily Devotion for September 19

September 19, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Thursday, September 19.

When I began writing these daily devotions four years ago, I made a promise to myself that I would not abuse your time. You're a busy person, places to go, things to do, people to see. So, I've tried to never write more than it would take you more than two minutes to read. Today's devotion will most certainly come under the wire.

One verse. One thought. One prayer.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9

David's Daily Devotion for September 17

September 17, 2024 - Good Morning! It's September 17.

One of the most celebrated and influential songwriters of the 20th century was born on this day in 1923. His brief, six-year career produced 55 songs that made the top ten charts, 11 that went all the way to #1. The list of famous musicians that he inspired is too long to mention. In 2010, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. His name was Hank Williams.

David's Daily Devotion for September 16

September 16, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Monday, September 16.

Misidentification can be embarrassing. Have you ever called someone by the wrong name or asked them how their Aunt Bertha is doing after her recent surgery, and then realized that this is a completely different person who does not have an Aunt Bertha. Embarrassing. I once had an experience like this, without even speaking a word.

David’s Daily Devotion for Sept. 13

September 13, 2024 - Good Morning! It's Friday, September 13.

I have two friends here in Center, Texas who are celebrating their birthday today - on Friday the 13th. One of them remembers another Friday the 13th when he turned 13! He says 13 is his lucky number. Not many people would say that. Do you get nervous when this day rolls around? Enough people do that there's a word for it - parakevidekatriaphobia. Say that three times fast!
