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.

David’s Daily Devotion for Apr. 3

April 3, 2026 - Good Morning!  It’s Friday, April 3, and we’ve come to the end of our series “The Road to Resurrection”.  We’ve come to the end of Holy Week.  We’ve come to Good Friday.  

Over the last four days we’ve witnessed Christ’s encounters with friends and foes, with those who loved Him, and with those who plotted against Him.  And then on Friday - Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Man, the Good Shepherd, the Prince of Peace, our Messiah, our Lord, our Savior - was savagely nailed to a rugged Roman cross.

David’s Daily Devotion for Apr. 2

April 2, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, April 2.

Tonight I have the opportunity to do something I’ve never done before, but have always wanted to do - I’m going to a Jewish Seder. I’ve heard teachers teach about the Seder. I’ve heard preachers preach about the Seder. I’ve read my share of material about it. But there’s no education more effective than personal experience, and this evening, at long last, I’ll experience the Jewish Passover ceremony called . . . the Seder.
