Hi, I'm Adam Burton, and this is the Daily Devo. Today is Tuesday, October 5, 2021. This week's Bible verses are Romans, chapter 11, verses 33 through 36. Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God.
How unsearchable are His judgments, and now inscrutable His ways. For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been His counselor, or who has given a gift to Him that He might be repaid, for from Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things, to Him be glory forever. Amen. Romans, chapter 11, verses 33 through 36.
Did you know that on this date, in 1947, the first televised presidential speech in the United States was given. Harry Truman, the 33rd President of the US, called on Americans to use less green to help Europe, which was still reeling from the effects of the Second World War. He asked people to avoid eating meat on Tuesdays and eggs and poultry on Thursdays, and to consume one less slice of bread every day. In 1962, James Bond makes his theatrical debut, the fictional British spy with the code name 007, was featured on the big screen for the first time in Dr.
No, based on the 1958 and Fleming novel of the same name, the movie starred Sean Connery as James Bond. In 1969, Monty Python's Flying Circus makes its debut, the British sketch comedy series lasted for a year on the British Broadcasting Corporation. The show was a commentary of daily life in Britain and had several recurring themes and characters, played by Eric Idol, Graham Chapman, John Police, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, and Terry Jones. The sketches are often thought to have had a strong influence on television comedy around the world.
In 1984, the first Canadian goes into space. Mark Garnal flew as the payload specialist on STS-41G, the sixth flight of NASA's Space Shuttle Challenger. The flight that launched on this day was also the first space mission to have two women, Sally Ride and Catherine Sullivan. In 2000, the bulldozer revolution occurs in former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
President Slobodan Milosevic was overthrown after hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered in Belgrade to protest against recently held elections. While largely peaceful, the protesters burned down the parliament building. Milosevic resigned and stepped down from his office two days later. And now you do know, think about these Bible verses today from Luke chapter 18 verses 9-14.
He also told his parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and treated others with contempt. Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed with us, God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week.
I give tithes of all that I get. But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone, who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.
Thanks for listening to The Daily Diva. I'll see you tomorrow. God bless.
