  • Who Will Win? – February 27, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260227dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” Genesis 3:15 Who Will Win? Right in the middle of the wreckage, God speaks a promise. Adam and Eve have disobeyed. Trust is broken. Shame has entered the world. Everything good now feels fragile. And before the humans say a word—before they apologize, explain, or promise to do better—God talks to the serpent, “He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” It’s a strange moment. God isn’t giving instructions. He’s declaring an outcome. This isn’t advice. It’s a verdict. Evil will not win. That promise matters because, if we’re honest, it often feels like evil is winning. Sin feels strong. Guilt lingers. Death feels permanent. We see brokenness in the world and in ourselves, and we wonder if it’s too deep to fix. We wonder if what’s broken can really be made right. God’s promise answers that question. Yes. And not because people improve, but because God intervenes. From the very beginning, God makes it clear that rescue will come from outside us. An offspring. A deliverer. Someone who will step into the fight we’re losing and win it for us. That promise runs like a thread through the entire Bible and leads directly to Jesus. When Jesus is nailed to the cross, it looks like the serpent has won. Jesus suffers. Jesus bleeds. Jesus dies. It looks final. But the cross is not defeat—it’s the decisive blow. Sin is paid for. God’s justice is satisfied. Satan’s accusation is silenced. And Jesus’ resurrection confirms it. The serpent struck Jesus’ heel, but Jesus crushed the serpent’s head. Death did its worst and still lost. That victory changes everything. It means your sin, real as it is, is not stronger than God’s grace. Your past, heavy as it may feel, does not define your future. Fear and guilt do not get the last word. Jesus does. Paradise was lost in a garden, but it was promised on a cross and procured at an empty tomb. God keeps his promises—even when everything seems broken. God’s answer is always bigger than our questions. Prayer: Lord God, thank you for keeping your promise to defeat sin, death, and the devil. When I feel overwhelmed by guilt or fear, remind me of Christ’s victory. Give me faith to trust in what Jesus has done for me and peace to live in the hope he has won. 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 Devotions

  • Military Devotion – PCSing with a Promise – February 27, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on Genesis 12:1-8 PCSing with a Promise How many times have you moved in your lifetime? For military personnel, the number can get pretty high. And let’s be honest—moving is hard. Household goods get broken or delayed. You might arrive not knowing a single person. There’s no guarantee you’ll make friends quickly or that you won’t feel lonely. PCS orders may send you somewhere new and much of it feels uncertain. In Genesis 12, the LORD gave Abram orders that sounded a lot like PCS orders: “Go…to the land I will show you” (Genesis 12:1). Except Abram had no map. No intel brief. No sponsor waiting at the gaining unit. Abram was 75 years old. He and his wife had no children. And yet, the LORD attached promises: “I will bless you… and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you” (Genesis 12:2-3). And Abram went—over a thousand miles on foot—not because he had guarantees, but because the LORD had spoken. Abram moved under promise. You do, too. In your vocation, God calls you to go—to new duty stations, new homes, new communities. But he sends you with promises. He promises to be with you. He promises daily bread. He promises forgiveness when you fall into sin. He promises that in Christ, you are declared righteous before him—not because of your strength, but because of Jesus’ perfect life and innocent death for you. At times, PCS moves strain you emotionally, physically, and spiritually. You may wonder if God sees you in the transition. But his promises don’t change with your zip code. The same God who called Abram calls you by his Word. The same God who kept his promise—bringing Isaac, then Jacob, then King David, and finally Jesus into the world—has kept his promise to save you. In Christ, you will not perish but have eternal life. And that’s the final PCS, isn’t it? Not to another duty station or another town, but to the place Christ has prepared for you. A permanent home where there are no more goodbyes, no loneliness, no uncertainty. Until then, wherever the military sends you, you live under God’s unchanging promise. You are PCSing—with a promise. Prayer: Lord God, you called Abram to go with nothing but your promise, and you proved yourself faithful. As military members move through the many changes of military life, remind them that your promises in Christ never fail. Especially watch over those deployed and their families. There is a lot of uncertainly right now, Lord. Do as you’ve promised: be with us, provide for us, forgive us, and keep our eyes fixed on our eternal home with you. Amen. Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.
