  • God Is Still in Charge – October 21, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20261021dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. . . . For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. Romans 13:1,4 God Is Still in Charge Government can be frustrating. Ever-changing tax forms. Long lines at government offices. And sometimes, real injustice. Someone wrongs you, and the courts say it isn’t worth their time. It’s easy to lose hope. So, what the Bible says about government might surprise you. Paul, an early follower of Jesus, wrote these words to Christians living under the Roman Empire. Its government was often harsh. Even so, Paul says that governing authorities are established by God, and that a person in authority is “God’s servant for your good” (verse 4). That doesn’t mean every government is perfect or every law is fair. It does mean God is not absent. He uses government, even flawed government, to bring order, protect people, and punish wrongdoing. Imagine life with no courts, no fire departments, no traffic laws, and no safety standards for food and medicine. Here is the clearest example that God is in charge, even when government fails. Two thousand years ago, a Roman governor named Pilate sentenced Jesus to die. Pilate knew Jesus was innocent, but he gave in to the crowd to protect his own position. It looked like a terrible failure of justice. Yet Jesus told Pilate that any power he had was given from above. God was still in charge. He used that unjust verdict to rescue the world. Jesus’ death paid for the sins of every person, including yours, and his resurrection opens the way to life with God forever. Whatever your government does, and whatever frustrations you carry, you have peace through Jesus. Government keeps order in this life. Only Jesus gives life forever. God has forgiven you and made you a citizen of a better country. No government can take that away. The God who brought good out of Pilate’s verdict is still at work today, and he is working for you. Prayer: Almighty God, King, and Lord of all, thank you for caring for me through governing authorities. Help me be a responsible citizen, and give me hope, trusting that you are working good even through imperfect governments. Amen.   Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Military Devotions

  • Military Devotion – Living in Two Kingdoms – October 16, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on Romans 13:1-7 Living in Two Kingdoms  A couple of weeks ago I was running through the canyon near our home here in San Diego and out of nowhere an aircraft came screaming over the treetops. I looked up and saw the recognizable bright blue paint and the words “US NAVY” underneath. It was the Blue Angels, rehearsing for the two-day airshow at Miramar Marine Corps Air Base near our house. I wondered, “How much does it cost to put on a two-day airshow like that? And who pays for it?” It’s probably your taxes and my taxes that pay for that airshow.    How do you feel about paying your taxes? Before you answer that question, let’s first listen to what God has to say through the apostle Paul:    “This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes” (Romans 13:6-7).  The apostle Paul makes the point that God has established the authority of the government for the purpose of protecting our property and bodies. One of the ways the government does that is by collecting taxes. They use tax dollars to establish a standing Army and Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, Air Force and Space Force. Paul explains that you who are warfighters, carry out your vocation for this purpose: “For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer” (Romans 13:4).  You may not always agree with the orders you receive while you serve in the military. You may not always be happy with the way our government uses our taxes. But God uses it for his good purposes.   It’s good for us to remember that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, paid his taxes faithfully and willingly. He honored those in authority over him in the state. He was the perfect citizen. And even though that same government that he respected and to which he paid taxes used his taxes to crucify him. God used it for good, to forgive your sins. For all the times that you complained about paying your taxes, or were less than honest in submitting your taxes, or those times you disrespected your government, Jesus’ righteous life covers over it all. His death pays the penalty for those sins.   And so, he has set you free from complaining, set you free from dishonesty, and set you free to go and be a faithful citizen, to be a faithful warfighter, to carry out your vocations, to serve your neighbor and to share the gospel with your neighbors and to pay your taxes willingly and gladly.   It is not always easy to be a citizen of two kingdoms—the kingdom of God and the kingdom of the State —but God has shown us the way, and he shows us his Son, Jesus, the perfect citizen, who lived and died and rose so that we might live in his perfect kingdom forever. Let us keep our eyes fixed on these truths as we live in two kingdoms. Prayer: O Lord our God, so govern the nations on earth and direct the affairs of this world that your church may worship you in peace and joy; may we live such faithful lives in both kingdoms that others see Christ through us and make Christ known to them. Keep our warfighters faithful in their vocations. Give them the strength to carry out their missions and training to the best of their ability, so that your name is honored, and we may live in peace. In Jesus’ name I pray it. Amen.   Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.
