  • Dehydration – March 10, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260310dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.” John 4:17-18 Dehydration Jesus met a woman at a well outside of her village one day. They started talking, and before long, her whole life was out in the open. He knew all about her. She couldn’t pretend to be someone she wasn’t. Her past sins and her current sinful living arrangement were no longer secrets. She had made excuses and rationalized her behavior in the past. However, that didn’t bring any real relief to the condition of her soul. What Jesus said revealed that she was spiritually dehydrated. What Jesus said revealed how desperately she needed living water. What proof of spiritual dehydration would Jesus point out in your life? What sins for which you’ve made excuses? What sins did you hope were hidden or forgotten? Would he mention a disregard for marriage in the way you live each day? Would he point to choices about how you spend your time or money that don’t put God first? Would he ask questions that reveal grudges you don’t want to let go of or anger that you let fester in your heart? Would he uncover lies you have told or hurtful things you have said? In his Word, Jesus uses the commands of the law to awaken in us a spiritual thirst that no amount of effort or excuses can satisfy. He shows us that what naturally wells up in us is filthy sludge that can only lead to death and not the pure, clean water that leads to eternal life. Jesus himself is the pure living water we need. He entered the wasteland of our world and found spiritual refreshment every day in God’s Word. Then he hung on a cross, thirsty not just from the physical toll of crucifixion but from the spiritual dehydration of our sins that he took as his own. Now he refreshes us with the promise that our sins are forgiven. Our guilt is gone. He revives us with his mercy. Through his death and resurrection, he gives us new life that will never end. Prayer: Jesus, give me living water every day in the promise of your forgiveness. Amen.   Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Military Devotions

  • Military Devotion – Ceasefire! – March 6, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on Romans 5:1-8 Ceasefire! Ceasefire! It is an order that demands: You stop pulling that trigger! Stop dropping mortar rounds! But the adrenaline still courses through your body. You smell the burnt propellant from your firearm. You taste the salt from your sweat. Your heart beats in your eardrums. Your eyes are still trained downrange as you drop an empty and clip in a fresh 5.56 mag, waiting, listening for the next “Pop! Pop! Pop!” so you can reengage in the fight. Ceasefire! An order that should demand peace. You no longer need to use your weapon. You no longer need to be on high alert. There is no reason to fight anymore. This is the order we need to hear from Jesus every day because when it comes to our spiritual life, it is a difficult thing to just stop and let our hearts be at peace. I know this is a hard thing to do because the enemy continues to attack our position with lie after lie. Maybe for you it’s the lie God’s love must be earned by the way you’ve lived your life. Or maybe it’s that God is mean and vindictive and your suffering is God’s way of punishing you for past sins. Or maybe it’s that your worth is determined by how you perform before God as a warrior, as a single person, as a husband or wife or son or daughter. The enemy fire continues to bark, egging you on to keep fighting, keep grinding, maybe you’ll get there someday. But Jesus calmly approaches our position with a gentle yet firm command, “Ceasefire.” Listen to his “Ceasefire” through the Apostle Paul: “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). You have peace with God because he has justified you. This picture of justification lands us in a courtroom. As military service member the thought of standing in court may mean that you have to defend your actions. But in God’s courtroom you don’t need to defend yourself. You don’t even need to testify. “God has justified you,” Paul writes. This means that the judge’s declaration to you is that you are not guilty. You are innocent. Christ Jesus has taken your guilt upon himself for upon the cross he hung guilty for you. So, listen to the command from Jesus when he says to you today, “Ceasefire.” There is no need to keep fighting, to keep grinding, to keep believing the lie that God is punishing you. Just rest in his peace. Whether you feel it or not, it is true: you are at peace with God for he is at peace with you because of Christ Jesus. God has declared it, “Ceasefire.” Just stop. Stand down. Listen to what God has declared to you. You are justified in Christ Jesus. Prayer: Lord Jesus, because you are my judge, my defense attorney and the one who took my place and paid the penalty for my offenses, you remind me that I stand before you justified right now and tomorrow and the rest of the days of my life. Help me to return to the courtroom and hear your declaration of innocence so that I may rest in the peace only you can give. Continue to bring this message of peace to the hearts of our military service members who are engaged in combat. Reassure them that they stand before you justified. Strengthen their minds and bodies to carry out their vocation as war fighters, knowing their salvation is secure. Amen. Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.
