David's Daily Devotion for Jun. 30

June 30, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, June 30.

We continue this morning with Patriotic Song Week here at the Daily Devotion, on the way to Independence Day and America’s 250th birthday. Most of this week’s songs are very old, over a century old. One, our National Anthem, has had over 200 birthdays. But today’s song is relatively new. Let’s take a look at “God Bless the U.S.A.”.

David's Daily Devotion for June 26

June 26, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, June 26.

Are you excited about the Semiquincentennial? That’s a mouthful! I’m talking, of course, about our nation’s 250th anniversary - just a week away. Maybe you’re old enough to remember where you were when America celebrated her 200th birthday, the Bicentennial. I was 19, with a year of college under my belt, and no clue whatsoever about what I wanted to be when I grew up.

David’s Daily Devotion for June 25

June 25, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, June 25.

Here’s some old sayings. You’ve probably heard all, or at least most of them.

Haste makes waste
A rolling stone gathers no moss
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink
Don’t put the cart before the horse. (Why are so many of these about horses?!)
All that glitters is not gold
People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones
A stitch in time saves nine

David's Daily Devotion for June 19

June 19, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, June 19.

Yesterday I reminded our readers that this Sunday is Father’s Day. But it’s also another notable occasion. It’s the first day of summer. Here in Texas we don’t wait for the official date - it’s felt like summer for a while now. You’ve probably heard the joke - What are the Four Texas Seasons? Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas. Not too far from the truth.

David's Daily Devotion for June 18

June 18, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, June 18.

Well, another Father’s Day is on the horizon. I’m sure you’ll take the opportunity this Sunday to thank your dad, or remember him. I’m taking that opportunity today, because on June 18, 1913, Travis Lamar Mathis was born. Sometimes my dad’s birthday would fall on Father’s Day - only one necktie or bottle of cologne that year! 

David's Daily Devotion for June 17

June 17, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, June 17.

Did you go to Sunday School when you were a kid? I’ll bet you did. And I’ll bet you loved the Bible stories, just like me - stories like Daniel and the Lion’s Den, Noah and the Ark, Ezekiel and the Dry Bones! Those stories were music to this second-grader’s ears. But my all time favorite Bible story (you’ve probably already guessed it) was David and Goliath. Maybe it was yours. Maybe it still is. But did you know there’s a sequel?
