  • Strengthened by God’s Good Gifts – April 22, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260422dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion When [Jesus] was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24:30-32 Strengthened by God’s Good Gifts The two disciples with whom Jesus spoke on Easter evening on the road to Emmaus had had their faith shaken to the core. Jesus had been tried as a felon and crucified as a criminal, looking like a failure. They heard the reports that the tomb was empty and Jesus was alive, but it didn’t revive their faith. They didn’t even stick around in Jerusalem to see if it might be true. They hit the road for Emmaus, leaving the other disciples. Jesus chose these two doubting disciples to be among the first he appeared to after his resurrection. He didn’t show up at Pilate’s palace. He didn’t walk into the temple in triumph. He didn’t gloat to the religious leaders who orchestrated his death. He chose two disciples in a crisis of faith. Jesus gave them exactly what they needed. He shared God’s Word. He broke bread with them as he had during the Passover meal the previous Thursday. Those good gifts were all they needed to recognize that Jesus was alive and so was their faith. We know what it’s like to struggle. A temptation that won’t loosen its grip. An illness that lingers. A loved one is drifting further from God. All of these can cause a crisis of faith. That’s when we go where Jesus has told us to look. We open his Word where we hear that our sins are forgiven. We see that the cross is for us. And in the Lord’s Supper, Jesus gives us something tangible. We don’t just hear we are forgiven; we receive it. When faith feels fragile, God doesn’t demand that we get stronger. He points us to his promises. The same Savior who walked with those disciples still comes to his people today. He still brings those good gifts with him. Prayer: Heavenly Father, when doubt clouds my heart, draw me back to your Word and your promises. Strengthen my faith with your good gifts. Amen.   Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

  • Military Devotion – Walking with Jesus’ Promises – April 17, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on Luke 24:13-35 Walking with Jesus’ Promises “This is not what I thought it would be.” I’m not sure what the Navy recruiter told him, or what he expected life in the Navy to be, or what he chose to hear from his recruiter, what his friends or family said, but after two years in, this is not what he expected. I can see you smiling as you listen to this devotion – because you know. After a PCS, a deployment, a school, the transition from active to civilian – you heard all sorts of things, but until you get there, it can be a different experience. And you may find yourself saying, “This is not what I thought it would be.” There are all kinds of struggles – both emotional and spiritual – that go along with it.   You’re not alone. This is nothing new, especially for God’s people. That first Easter evening, two of Jesus’ disciples began their slow walk from Jerusalem to a village called Emmaus. Jesus sidles up to them on their walk and joins their conversation. He plays dumb when they share the news about their teacher, Jesus from Nazareth whom they had hoped was the Messiah, the Christ, was now dead. And there were rumors about a resurrection. They said, “He wasn’t what we thought he would be.”   Starting with Scripture Jesus began to teach them what the Holy Spirit had said about him all along, to correct their misconceptions about the Messiah.   When you find yourself in those life situations that force you to say, “This is not what I thought it would be,” the soul asks of God, “Didn’t you say something about this? Why aren’t you doing what you said you would do?”   Sometimes like those two disciples we believe things about God that aren’t true. For example, have you ever said this or had someone say this to you, “God helps those who help themselves.” It can be used in a situation where you’ve made some questionable decisions and in order to free yourself from more dire consequences you are encouraged to put some effort forward and then God will help you the rest of the way. Nowhere in Scripture does God promise this to you.   In fact, the opposite is true. The Bible says, “When we were still powerless… while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:6,8). When we are completely helpless, when we say things like, “This is not what I expected,” Jesus sidles up to us and with his words says, “Here is what I have promised you. First, that I died for you. So, for all those times you’ve pegged me for things I haven’t promised you, I forgive you for that. I rose from the dead so that you may know that all the promises I made in the Bible, they will happen. I will keep them, just for you. And this one that you struggle with, “God helps those who help themselves,” I have promised you, “God helps the helpless. God is the strength of the weak. God will give glory and relief after you suffer the crosses you must carry. God loves you.”   My friends, keep walking with Jesus, so that you know what he has promised. Cling to what he has promised.     Prayer: O God, by the humiliation of your Son, you lifted up this fallen world from the despair of death. By his resurrection to life, grant your faithful people gladness of heart and the hope of eternal joys. Grant hope to those who struggle to see your Almighty guiding hand in the current conflicts of the world. Grant wisdom to our leaders so that there may be peaceful resolutions in the Middle East. We ask this in the name of your Son, our Risen and living Savior. Amen.   Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.
