  • More than Enough – April 24, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260424dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 1 Peter 1:17-19 More than Enough Imagine someone is paying off a small debt by handing over a fortune. That’s the picture the sixteenth-century reformer, Martin Luther, once painted when reflecting on Christ’s sacrifice. He wrote, “Just one drop of this innocent blood would have been more than enough for the sin of the whole world.” Just one drop. Jesus’ blood is infinitely valuable because he is the sinless Son of God. His sacrifice was more than sufficient to pay for every sin: yours, mine, and the world’s. Peter reminds us that we were not redeemed with silver or gold. Those things eventually fade and lose value. We were redeemed with something far more precious: the blood of Christ. That truth changes how we see our lives. Our forgiveness was not cheap. Our rescue was not discounted. God loved us enough to give what was the most precious to him, his own Son. And yet this costly redemption is also our deepest comfort. Because Jesus paid the full price, there is nothing left for you to earn, and nothing left unpaid. Your sins are forgiven. You belong to God. So, we live in what Peter calls “reverent fear,” a fear that is not terror, but a deep respect and gratitude for the grace we’ve received. We treasure the salvation Christ won for us. After all, when you realize what it cost Jesus to redeem you, you begin to see how precious you truly are to God. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for redeeming me with your precious blood. Help me treasure your grace and live each day in gratitude for the salvation you won for me. Amen.   Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License.

  • Military Devotion – Walk the Darkest Valley with Your Shepherd – April 24, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on Psalm 23 Walk the Darkest Valley with Your Shepherd There is a canyon less than 50 yards from our front door. Before you enter the canyon, a sign explains that area was once known as Camp Elliott and served as a training area for artillery during WWII. At the bottom of the sign there is a warning: “Salvage work has been done to remove unexploded shells, but it is possible that due to natural erosion, shells could surface. If you should discover any, do not touch it!”    It is possible that there are unexploded shells in this canyon… In the early 80s some people found one, picked it up and it killed them. Did I also mention that there are coyotes and tarantulas, scorpions and rattlesnakes, and ticks in this canyon?   Every time I walk this canyon I am reminded of King David’s words in Psalm 23, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley . . .” (Psalm 23:4). This canyon is a picture of my life. Seen and unseen dangers are waiting to afflict my body and soul, my property and reputation. What about you?   Life in our nation’s military is like walking through the darkest valley – not just when you’re downrange or underway, not just when you’re at NTC or some other training – but the devil is always waiting to afflict you with spiritual harm. Death and grave are always lurking.   Then King David says in the psalm, “I will fear no evil, for you are with me” (Psalm 23:4). Who is the “you” to whom David refers? You probably know the answer, “The LORD, who is my shepherd, who leads me, guides me, who restores my soul, who laid down his life for mine, only to take it up again, so that he might live and be with me, who will make sure that I dwell in his house forever.”   This canyon not only reminds me that I walk through the darkest valley, but that Jesus is my Good Shepherd, because the name of the canyon is East Shepherd Canyon. If you visit San Diego, stop by and we’ll walk Shepherd Canyon together and talk about Jesus and how he makes sure we lack no good thing because he is our Good Shepherd. Until that day, I encourage you to read Psalm 23 today and then read John chapter 10 and know that Jesus your Shepherd walks with you through the darkest valleys.    Prayer: O Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Good Shepherd who laid down your life for the sheep. Lead us now to the still waters of your life-giving Word that we may abide in your Father’s house forevermore. Walk with all who are deployed, all who are in basic training, those who are in their different schools of training – be their guide. Restore them when days are difficult. Lead them to the green pastures of your Word through faithful chaplains and pastors and Christian friends. We ask this in your name, Amen.  Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.
