David’s Daily Devotion for June 26

June 26, 2024 - On June 26, 1977, a concert was presented at the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana. The 18,000 people present had no idea that they were witnessing a moment in history.  It was the last concert that Elvis Presley would ever give. His performance, as it had been for several years, was a shadow of the Elvis that the world had come to know and love. But for 90 minutes he gave that crowd everything he had. And six weeks later he was dead.

Most Texans grow up knowing what "Juneteenth" is. That name, a blend of "June" and "19th" is a reminder of the day in 1865 when the Emancipation Proclamation was announced in Galveston. June 19th immediately began to be an annual day of celebration among African Americans in Texas, and the tradition soon spread across the South. And as African Americans began to resettle in the North and in the West, they took this tradition with them. In 2021 it became a national holiday. Happy Juneteenth!

I have the blessing of sharing the broadcast Sunday School lesson at First Baptist Center. It goes out locally through FM radio and cable TV, and streams around the world on Face Book Live and our church website. Our system has been down for a couple of weeks due to power outages and so it was good to be back yesterday - sending out the Word.

As I write this, 50 of our teenagers are in the middle of youth camp. And 30 of our children leave for their camp this Saturday. Exciting times. Lots of prayers are going up right now, asking God to touch young hearts. To Him be the glory for all that He is doing, and for all He will do.

On June 12, 1942, a young girl turned thirteen. One of her birthday gifts was a small book with a lock on the front - a diary. She began writing in it that very first day, but wondered how the happenings of her humdrum life could ever fill its pages. Less than a month later, the life of Anne Frank changed forever.
