David's Daily Devotion for May 18

May 18, 2022 - Good Morning. It’s Wednesday, May 18.

This afternoon I’ll be attending a funeral. A good friend lost his daughter to cancer. And a few years ago he lost his wife to the same cancer. And he faces cancer now himself.  At times in our lives, it seems that we are given more than we can bear. Perhaps you’ve had times like that in your life. Perhaps you’re going through a time like that right now.

We turn to friends. We turn to family. We turn to The Word.

On May 17, 1971, a musical premiered at a little theater in New York City. It was called "Godspell" and took its theme from the Book of Matthew, from Christ's famous Sermon on the Mount. In 1973, the "little musical that could" was turned into a successful Hollywood movie. And the live production has been playing somewhere in the world pretty much ever since.

When we moved to our place just east of Tenaha, Texas, there was an old hummingbird feeder hanging on the back porch. I cleaned it out, filled it with sugar water, hung it back up, and sat back and waited for the hummingbirds. That was four years ago... and I'm still waiting.

I teach the Broadcast Sunday School lesson each Sunday at 9am. It goes out to local cable TV and FM radio. And it live streams, as does our 10:15 worship service, on our Facebook site - FBC Center, Texas - and on our website - fbccenter.org. We would be honored and blessed to have any of our Daily Devotion readers to tune us in.

What are the best selling books in history?  The novel "Don Quixote" is said to have sold 400 million copies and Charles Dicken’s "A Tale of Two Cities" 200 million. The "Harry Potter" book series tops out at 500 million and my favorite novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird", has sold 40 million. 

David’s Daily Devotion for May 11

May 11, 2022 - Yesterday afternoon I was driving back to Center, Texas from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I sometimes think of Oklahoma looking just like West Texas. And some of it does. But yesterday afternoon I drove through beautiful rolling hills and vast green pastures. At one point I looked out, and on one of those beautiful hills were hundreds and hundreds of grazing cows. It was a picture. It was a picture worth a thousand words. It was a picture that reminded me of these words -

Every beast of the forest is mine, says the Lord, the cattle on a thousand hills. Psalm 50:10

David's Daily Devotion for May 9

May 9, 2022 - Good morning! Today is Monday, May 9.

I hope all you moms had a wonderful Mother’s Day. At First Baptist Center, a “mother’s trio” sang a song called “If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again.” We dedicated it to all those who were remembering mothers that have gone on to heaven. My mom passed in 2010 and nothing has been quite the same since.

David's Daily Devotion for May 7

May 7, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Saturday, May 7.

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, so today we look at a mother in the Bible who epitomizes the selfless love of mothers everywhere.

Her name was Jochebed. You don’t see many couples naming their daughters “Jochebed” these days, which is surprising since it really rolls off the tongue. Anyway, we find her in the first chapter of Exodus. And we also find there a pharaoh “who did not know Joseph”, Joseph saved Egypt from a cataclysmic famine. But he was long dead and forgotten.
