David's Daily Devotion for May 6

May 6, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, May 6.

I hope that you had the opportunity to attend a National Day of Prayer event yesterday. We had a good crowd to gather here in Shelby County, Texas. But not quite enough to complete the human prayer chain around our historic 1885 courthouse. We were blessed to give it a try, but it turned out not to be possible. Today we focus on a man who did the impossible.

David's Daily Devotion for May 5

May 5, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, May 5.

In Ephesians 6 we read these words - “Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”

National Day of Prayer, Thursday, May 5, on the Square

May 3, 2022 - On Thursday, May 5, Noon - 12:30, the people of Center are invited to gather at the "center of Center", in front of our historic courthouse, for a National Day of Prayer event. Would you give 30 minutes of your day to be one of a hundred community folks to join hands and circle the old courthouse in a prayer chain? That's going to be a memorable moment! The half hour program will also include the singing of the National Anthem and prayers for our country, our community, our schools, our churches, and our first responders.

Seventy years ago, in1952, President Dwight Eisenhower declared a National Day of Prayer on July 4. Forty years ago, President Ronald Reagan decided it would happen each year on the first Thursday of May. And so this Thursday at noon, you’re invited to join me in front of our historic courthouse for the National Day of Prayer. If you’re reading this in Shelby County, Texas, I’ll be looking for you! If you’re one of our far-flung readers, look for an event in your area.

David’s Daily Devotion for April 30

April 30, 2022 - It's Saturday, April 30.

On April 30, 1989, something happened that changed our world completely. Something was invented that day by the British scientist, Tim Berners-Lee. He christened it "The World Wide Web". And in just over 30 years, within the lifetimes of my daughters, the way we gather and share information has been altered in a way that the world hasn't seen since Gutenberg invented the printing press six centuries ago.

This Sunday morning, First Baptist Church of Center will have the opportunity to ordain a young man to the gospel ministry. Ordination services are always memorable and inspiring moments. In the moment before the ordination, my brother-in-law will share a very appropriate song - God Leads Us Along.

Our local library is having its annual spring book sale today, and I'm on my way! And I’m thinking about my favorite book.

On April 28, 1926, a girl was born in Monroeville, Alabama. Her name was Harper Lee. 1926 was the year my mother was born. Two southern girls. But Lee grew up to become one of the most celebrated and honored American authors in history.
