Hi, I'm Adam Burton and this is the Daily Devo. Today is Friday, October 15, 2021. This week's Bible memory verses are Romans, chapter 12, verses 1 and 2. I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Do not be conformed into this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12, verses 1 and 2. Did you know that on this date in 1783, Jean Francois Palatre des Rozier flies the world's first manned balloon flight. The teacher from France spent about four minutes in the air in a balloon made by flight pioneers Joseph Michael and Jacques Etienne Montgolfier.
The Montgollier brothers were responsible for the world's first balloon flight and for sending the first living being a duck on a balloon. In 1951, I Love Lucy airs for the first time. The American sitcom aired on CBS and featured real life couple Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. The popular show lasted for six years and it had several spin offs after it went off air in 1987.
Thomas Sankara is killed. Sankara, the president of Burkina Faso, was killed during a coup led by Blaise compore in 1990. Mikhail Gorbachev is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The then President of the Soviet Union received the prestigious award given out by the Norwegian Nobel Committee for his role in lessening intentions during the Cold war.
And in 2003, Shenzhou 5, China's first human space flight mission launch launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch center in the middle of the Goi Desert in northern China. This launch brought the Chinese into the exclusive club of countries who have achieved manned space flight. The other countries are the USA and the Soviet Union or Russia. And now you know what happened on this day in history.
Think about these Bible verses throughout the day. From Job, chapter 14, verses 15 through 17. You would call and I would answer you. You would long for the work of your hands, for then you would number my steps.
You would not keep watch over my sin. My transgression would be sealed up in a bag and you would cover over my iniquity. Thanks for listening to the Daily Diva. I'll see you on Monday.
God bless.
