David's Daily Devotion for May 13

May 13, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, May 13.

On May 13, 1767, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his first opera. He was eleven years old! He actually began writing music when he was four. At four, I was learning to tie my shoes. When he was eight, Mozart finished his first symphony. I, on the other hand, was conducting a serious study of Saturday morning cartoons.

We mere mortals cannot hope to achieve what geniuses do. But we, like Mozart, can make a start. You’ve probably heard the old saying, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”. And I’m reminded of the famous words spoken by President John F. Kennedy at his inauguration in January 1961. After listing a series of lofty goals, he famously said, “All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this administration, nor even, perhaps, in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.”

Is there something that God wants you to begin? Maybe He’s leading you to reach out to mend a broken relationship. Perhaps He’s placed the desire in your heart to start - or restart - a daily time of Bible study. Maybe there’s a particular ministry that He’s pointing you towards. Whatever it may be, there’s no time like the present.

Let us begin.

Meet you back here tomorrow,
David
