David's Daily Devotion for February 2

February 2, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, February 2. 

Welcome to February. Welcome to Groundhog Day. At 6:30 this morning, a little furry rodent emerged from his little wooden house and (drum roll please) he saw his shadow! That means six more weeks of winter. But don’t despair - we’re talking about woodchuck here, not a weatherman, and so we might still have an early spring. Hope springs eternal!

David’s Daily Devotion for Jan. 30

January 30, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, January 30.

If you read yesterday’s devotion, you’ll remember that our focus was on connections - our connections with the characters of the Bible. It was a theme that seemed to resonate with more than a few of our readers, many of whom emailed in about their “Bible person” - the person of the Word that they most identify with. If you have one of those special connections, I would love to hear about it!

David’s Daily Devotion for Jan. 28

January 28, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, January 28.

The power went out at my house in Tenaha last Saturday morning, at the beginning of the ice storm.  And it’s still out! Four days and counting. With temps down into the mid-teens, and no heat, we’ve taken to dressing like Eskimos. But the ice will melt, the electricity will come back on, and it will fade into a memory. All that will remain is the hole in my roof from an ice-covered falling tree limb.  Oh well.  Onward and upward!

David's Daily Devotion for January 23

January 23, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, January 23. 

Forecasters tell us that we’re in for some “wintry mix” this weekend, maybe some sleet, maybe some snow, maybe some ice. All this talk reminded me of the winter storm of 2021. If you were around here then, you’ll no doubt remember it too. Here’s a reprint of a devotion from January, five years ago.

It’s time for your quiz! It’s test day at the Daily Devotion! We’re having a Spelling Bee! My third grade teacher would have a spelling bee every Friday, and I was a very competitive third-grader, so I would always work hard to win. I still work on my spelling. I believe it’s an important communication tool, along with good grammar and proper punctuation. So, here we go - put on your thinking caps!

David’s Daily Devotion for Jan. 21

January 21, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, January 21.

In January, a year ago, Donald Trump was inaugurated president for a second term. The weather was so cold that the ceremony had to be moved into the rotunda of the Capitol. That harkened back to Inauguration Day, January 21, 1985, when the windchill was -25 in Washington D.C. and the ceremony to start Ronald Reagan’s second term moved indoors, as well.
