  • With Jesus My Shepherd, I Am Honored – April 30, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260430dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Psalm 23:5 With Jesus My Shepherd, I Am Honored The story arc of Psalm 23 moves fast enough to make your head spin. It begins with David identifying with a lowly sheep, content to recline in the presence of the Lord, his loving Shepherd, knowing that plenty of green grass and clean water are available. Then Shepherd and sheep are up and walking, and the paths seem right—until suddenly all is dark and scary. Fortunately, David is aware that the Shepherd is with him in that shadowy valley, fending off unknown and unseen assailants on every hand. One verse later, the darkness is lifted, revealing the enemies before him, but the tables have turned in an unexpected way. The lowly sheep from the pasture is now the guest of honor at the Lord’s own Table. Those who meant harm to him can do nothing but watch in humiliation and defeat, as he receives every sign of hospitality and honor. Perhaps this sequence of events reflects the way King David looked back on his own life. He went from a young man tending his father’s sheep to a giant-slayer to being hunted by the king as a traitor to being anointed and crowned king himself. How could a young shepherd ever imagine receiving such honor? In gratitude for all these blessings and more, David prayed, “Who am I, Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?” (2 Samual 7:18). He knew better than anyone that it was only by God’s grace that he was blessed in this way. Jesus Christ—both David’s descendant and his Lord—is the Shepherd King who displays lavish hospitality on us, the sheep of his flock. He took our shame and lowliness upon himself, dying in our place, so that he might share his glory with us. When Satan points out our sin, Jesus stuns him into silence, graciously inviting us to his Table where our Lord’s own body and blood assure us of forgiveness. Jesus, our Shepherd, welcomes us as honored guests, anointing us with joy and the Holy Spirit. Prayer: (CW, 552:5) You spread a table in my sight, A banquet here bestowing; Your oil of welcome, my delight; My cup is overflowing. Amen.   Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

  • 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.
