  • Stay awake! – November 12, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20261112dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. . . So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 1 Thessalonians 5:3,6 Stay awake! We’ve all dozed off at some point. Sitting in front of the TV is one thing, but what if you’re behind the wheel? Your eyelids start to get heavy. Everyone else in the car is sleeping. It’s taking all you have to stay awake. You nod off and hit the rumble strips. In that situation, falling asleep could be deadly. Being spiritually awake means trusting in Jesus for salvation. Spiritually dozing off means our attention and faith start to drift away from him. This can be spiritually deadly. Another thing happens when we drift off to sleep. You start to dream and lose touch with reality. Some dream of a “peace and safety” apart from Jesus— “I’m at peace, I’m doing my best.” Some dream of a better life apart from God’s plan and design. Wake up! The rumble strips of God’s Word wake us up to reality: The day is coming and this world won’t last forever. Our lives in this world don’t last forever. It’s time to stay awake! But how? When you’re on a road trip you need help staying awake—snacks to munch on, tunes to listen to, a friend who stays awake with you. Jesus, the one who awakens our souls to the reality of his forgiveness, keeps us awake on our way home to heaven. He puts other believers in our lives to stay awake with us and encourage us along the way. When we start to drift, we can tune our hearts to his promise of salvation and tune out the empty promises of this world. He is with us, and he neither slumbers nor sleeps. Prayer: Lord, when I drift, steer me back to you. When I become tired and alone, remind me that you are with me. Amen.   Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Military Devotions

  • Military Devotion – The Watch – November 6, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 The Watch Here in San Diego, we have a lot of Navy and Coast Guard ships and boats. One thing that has always impressed me is that since a ship operates 24 hours a day someone is always standing watch making sure that the ship and those aboard are safe and secure. This is not unique to the Navy or Coast Guard. When I visit Air Force, Marine Corps bases, or an Army post, someone is always standing guard, not just at the gate but at other secure locations around the installation.   For those of you who have stood watch, this is not the most exciting part of your vocation. Because it can become very monotonous and repetitious. And yet, your standing watch is so vital to the mission and safety of everyone on that vessel or duty station.   Jesus and the apostles and the OT prophets all use similar language when they call believers to watch, because Christ is coming soon. God gives us repeated warnings to wake up, to watch, to stand guard, to wait with vigilance because he knows how monotonous and repetitious it can be to wait. He knows that by nature we tend to get distracted by other more exciting things in our lives than reading his Word, devoting time to prayer, receiving the Lord’s Supper, going to church, participating in a Bible study. Someone once said to me, “Pastor, it seems that when I come to church, I hear the same thing.” To which I replied, “Well that’s good! That means you’re hearing the story of Christ crucified and risen for you again and again.” This is how we stand watch, how we wait.   Because he tells us, “You know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. . . So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert” (1 Thessalonians 5:2,6) and self-controlled.    And so, we stand watch—we wait—we prepare. Ask the Holy Spirit to move in you a rededication to faithful study of his Word, for his Word is life for you. The apostle Paul ends this section of his letter by saying, “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath, but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. . . Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing” (1 Thessalonians 5:9,11).   Every time you pass through the gate or board the ship, and you have to flash your ID, let that be a reminder: Now is the time for me to keep the watch for my soul. For Jesus is coming. He is coming soon. When he does, your watch will end and you will rest from your watching and waiting.    Prayer: Lord Jesus, you promised that you are coming soon. Forgive us for those times we have been lax in our preparations for your second and final coming. Renew in us a diligence and eagerness to hear your message of forgiveness, salvation, and life for us. As we listen and study your Word, do as you promise and keep us hypervigilant, waiting for you to bring us to be with you where we will rest from our labors. Lord Jesus, keep all who watch and guard war fighters and their equipment faithful in their duties. Send your holy angels to protect all who are in harm’s way. When you allow danger to come to them, do as you promise, and work out even evil for their eternal benefit. Amen.  Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.
