David's Daily Devotion for October 19

October 19, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, October 19.

There are many mythical creatures in human history, including dragons, unicorns, the Loch Ness Monster, the Abominable Snowman, and my personal favorite, Bigfoot. Also known as Sasquatch, this ten-foot-tall humanoid ape is said to roam the forests of the United States. On this date in 1967, a 60-second film was made in Northern California of an alleged Bigfoot. You’ve probably seen it. But for most folks, especially skeptics like me, it looks like nothing more than a big guy in a gorilla suit.

So, can we believe everything that we see? Hollywood, with all its special effects, has been fooling our eyes for generations. And with the emergence of CGI (Computer Generated Imaging) in the 1970’s, with movies like Star Wars, the trickery multiplied exponentially. Now, in the 21st Century, we’ve got AI. In 2026, Artificial Intelligence can generate images and videos that are virtually indistinguishable from real photographs and films. We can no longer believe everything that we see.

The Bible, on the other hand, has always encouraged us to believe... what we cannot see.

  • 2 Corinthians 5:7 - We walk by faith and not by sight.
  • Hebrews 11:1 - Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
  • John 20:29 - And Jesus said, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed.”

Meet you back here tomorrow,
