David’s Daily Devotion for March 9

March 9, 2022 - On March 9, 1890, Vyacheslav Molotov was born in Russia. Good luck pronouncing his first name, but I'll bet you didn't have as much trouble with his last name... because of the homemade bomb called the "Molotov cocktail." When the communists came to power in Russia in 1917, Molotov began to rise through the ranks of the new government, finally becoming foreign minister, second only to Joseph Stalin. 

David’s Daily Devotion for March 8

March 8, 2022 - Good Morning. It's Tuesday, March 8.

News came yesterday to our town of the death of a small boy in a horrible accident. There's an old saying, "It takes a village to raise a child." And it takes a village to mourn the loss of one. Words fail us at times like this. And so we turn to The Word.

Psalm 34:18 - The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and comforts those who are crushed in spirit.

David’s Daily Devotion for March 3

March 3, 2022 - This coming Sunday morning our church will sing a new song, one that we've never sung together before. It's called "House of the Lord" and it's filled with truth and joy. The Contemporary Christian songwriter, Phil Wickham, composed the song in 2020 - during the height of the pandemic - during a time when we weren't allowed to meet in the house of the Lord. And joy was in short supply, as well.

David’s Daily devotion for March 2

March 2, 2022 - We're still 18 days away from the first day of spring, but here in Shelby County, Texas, we're starting to see some signs that the season is changing.  And we're grateful to God for that.  The beginning of spring, on March 20, falls on Sunday this year.  And we're planning a series of devotions during the week prior, that will focus on our Creator and on His creation.  Hope you can join us for those thoughts.

David’s Daily Devotion for March 1

March 1, 2022 - Today is a day that's known by several names.  Some call it "Mardi Gras" or "Fat Tuesday".  Others refer to it as "Shrove Tuesday" or "Pancake Day".  What's all this about?  Well, basically, it's all wrapped up in the fact that today is the last day before Lent, that six-week season in the traditional church calendar that leads to Easter.

David’s Daily Devotion for Feb. 28

February 28, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, February 28.

Don’t look now, but February is about to be in the rear-view mirror. Is it just me, or is 2022 flying by like a freight train? March is on the doorstep and the first day of Spring is less than three weeks away. We’ll do a series in March about our Creator, and about His beautiful creation.

David’s Daily Devotion for Feb. 26

February 26, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Saturday, February 26.

Alexander Pope was an English poet in the early 1700's. After Shakespeare, he may be the most quoted writer in history. Here are just a few of his memorable thoughts - 

  • To err is human, to forgive, divine.
  • Fools rush in, where angels fear to trod.
  • Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
  • A little learning is a dangerous thing.

And my personal favorite - "Hope springs eternal".
