David’s Daily Devotion for Feb. 19

February 19, 20222 - Good Morning! It’s Saturday, February 19.

Part of the training that goes into becoming a Navy pilot involves learning what to do . . . when you crash. Often, it's been found, when a plane crash lands into water, that the pilot loses all sense of what's up and what's down – and may actually be swimming toward the bottom instead of the surface. The trainers teach a surefire solution – blow out a little air and follow the bubbles – they always go to the top!

David’s Daily Devotion for Feb. 18

February 18, 2022 - Good Afternoon!  It’s Friday, February 18.

On February 18, 1986, a commercial was broadcast featuring the actor Yul Brynner, who spoke about the dangers of smoking.  Why was this big news?  Because Brynner had died four months earlier - from lung cancer.  It was a message from the grave, and it made a powerful impression.

February 17, 2022 - Good Morning! It's Thursday, February 17.

"Nothing is Impossible" is one of my favorite old-time gospel songs. It was inspired by Matthew 19:26 - "with God all things are possible." I was thinking about that song and that verse, and was reminded of a humorous quote by the writer, A. A. Milne - "They say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing everyday."

David’s Daily Devotion for Feb. 16

February 16, 2022 - Good Morning!  It's Wednesday, February 16.

This weekend, the youth from our church are going away to a camp nearby for a retreat. Forty-eight hours of fun and food and fellowship. A couple of days to listen to God's voice and reconnect with Him. A retreat. But that word "retreat" sometimes brings up negative impressions - "Never give up! Never back down!! Never retreat!!!" But in reality, the opportunity to take time away from our busy, cluttered lives to go to a quiet place and relax, recharge, restore, renew - is definitely a positive thing!

Isaac Newton, in the 17th century, was a mathematician, physicist, inventor, astronomer, theologian, author, and scientist. He created the field of calculus, invented the reflecting telescope, developed the laws of motion and gravity. These “laws” were the dominant scientific discoveries for three centuries, until Einstein’s theory of relativity in 1905. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest geniuses who has ever lived.

David’s Daily Devotion for Feb. 14

February 14, 2022 - Today we conclude our week-long series on the subject of love. Maybe some of you, on this Valentine’s Day, will be blessed to receive the gift of a dozen roses. Well, here’s a dozen scripture verses about love. Hope they’re a blessing to you!

Psalm 63:3 - Because your steadfast love is better than life, O Lord, my lips shall praise You!

I John 3:18 - Let us not love in word or talk, but in deed and in truth.

Romans 5:8 - God showed His love to us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

David's Daily Devotion for Feb. 12

February 13, 2022 - We continue our series of devotions on love, a series that will conclude on Monday, Valentine’s Day.

The books that have been written about love - the plays, the songs, the poems - would fill a million libraries. But perhaps the most famous words on this subject are found in a letter, a letter that the Apostle Paul wrote to a church in Corinth, Greece, two thousand years ago. In the Bible it’s found in the 13th chapter of I Corinthians.

David’s Daily Devotion for Feb. 9

February 9, 2022 - Good Morning! It's Wednesday, February 9.

As the calendar inches closer and closer to Valentine's Day, we continue our devotion series on the subject of love.

On Sunday night, February 9, 1964 - 78 million Americans (the most in history) tuned their TVs to the Ed Sullivan Show, and the world of popular music was changed forever. The guests that night were four young lads from Liverpool - the Beatles. Maybe some of you were watching. I missed it. My family, being devout Baptists, were, of course, at church!
