David's Daily Devotion for September 1

September 1, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, September 1.

Here’s another devotional coming to you from New Orleans, Louisiana - The Big Easy - The Crescent City - Paris of the South - The City That Care Forgot... my favorite place. I’ve travelled here a couple of dozen times over the years and had the opportunity to repeat a number of memorable experiences. But there’s one experience that I’ve had only once. The day that I was part of the “Second Line.“

David's Daily Devotion for August 27

August 27, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, August 27.

Last Sunday morning I had the pleasure of playing a pipe organ for the worship service of a church here in East Texas. There’s nothing quite like the sound and the power of a pipe organ. When the service ended I added a postlude and “let all the stops out”! I chose the classic hymn “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee”. I hope it inspired that congregation to move into their week with hearts full of praise. It certainly inspired me, and reminded me of this story.

David’s Daily Devotion for Aug. 25

August 25, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, August 25.

This morning we take a look at a trilogy of Bible chapters, three consecutive scripture passages that form a pattern - a pattern that we see repeated over and over in the Bible and in our lives. This morning we look at Psalm 22, 23, and 24. I would print these three psalms in their entirety, but I never write more in these daily devotions than you can read in two minutes, so I’ll just share three excerpts.  

David’s Daily Devotion for Aug. 24

August 24, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, August 24.

On August 24, 1919, Ray Caldwell was on the mound for the Cleveland Indians. Caldwell seemed to be nearing the end of a once promising baseball career. In better days he starred for the Boston Red Sox, playing alongside a young phenom named Babe Ruth. But time, and alcohol, had dimmed his once bright light. The Red Sox waived him and he was hoping to restart his career in Cleveland. This was his first game with the new club.

David’s Daily Devotion for Aug. 20

August 20, 2026 - Good Morning!  It’s Thursday, August 20.

There’s nothing trivial about the Word of God.  I’m sure you’d add an “amen” to that statement.  But, having said that, there is such a thing as Bible trivia.  My mom had a half dozen Bible trivia games plus a dozen more Bible trivia books - all of which I inherited.  Bible trivia includes little fun facts that can both amuse and illuminate.  So, here’s a dozen for you on this summer morning.  Feel free to pull them out to amaze your friends with your impressive biblical knowledge.

David’s Daily Devotion for Aug. 19

August 19, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, August 19.

In Mark 8:11-13, we read - “The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test Him they asked for a sign from heaven. Jesus sighed deeply and said, ‘Why do you ask for a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to you’. Then He left them, got back into the boat, and crossed to the other side.”
