  • Blessed Are the Pure in Heart – November 1, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20261101dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion [Jesus said] “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” Matthew 5:8 Blessed Are the Pure in Heart Thick walls of water rushing over the falls and shattering into mists on the rocks below. A spectacular sunset streaking red and orange beams across the darkening blue sky. My wife walking down the aisle at our wedding. Lotus blossoms so thick they lay a purple and green carpet across the pond. These are just some of the beautiful things I’ve been privileged to see. None of them compares to seeing the face of God. No, I’m not claiming I’ve had a vision from heaven and God spoke to me. I am claiming that Jesus promised I will see with my own eyes the God who created me. How could I ever think his promise applies to me? Jesus says it applies to those who are pure in heart. Pure in heart? Not me. I have a nice outside but a rotten inside. I stress when my daughter doesn’t come home on time. I am often jealous of those who have things I don’t. My heart is a lot of things, but it isn’t pure. Still, I will see God—eye to eye. I won’t blink or blush crimson when he looks straight into my polluted heart. Why not? Jesus washed me clean. His death sucked all the sin out of my heart. I am blessed and I am pure and I will see God. On judgment day, God will see my sin-free heart. I will see God. I’ll study his ageless beauty, wisdom, love, and kindness. My life of aches and heartbreaks will quickly dim. All because my Savior pulled my sins onto himself. Prayer: Father, I await the day when we will meet face to face in your heavenly kingdom. 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 Devotion – The Deployment That Never Ends—and the Homecoming – October 30, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on Revelation 7:9-17 The Deployment That Never Ends—and the Homecoming  Earlier this month I joined several thousand San Diegans and families and friends to welcome home the 4,600 Sailors and Marines aboard the USS Lincoln, among them a friend who is a senior officer. Over dinner that evening he shared stories of their longer than expected deployment. He laughed and said, “There were junior enlisted who didn’t believe that we were actually coming home. Even after we had left Guam and then Pearl Harbor, they believed the Department of War could still send us back out again. They were still uncertain of our homecoming.”   In the early to mid 2000s when I served as pastor of our church in Radcliff, Ky., more than one Soldier stationed at Fort Knox shared with me that they felt unsure if they were coming back home from Iraq or Afghanistan.     Earlier this month a 30-year-old Marine died during MARSOC training off the coast of South Florida. He left home certain he would return from training.    When you experience loss, and bear unimaginable grief, when you wrestle with the “what ifs,” and reflect on your own mortality, and wonder, “When am I coming home? Will I come home?” Jesus wants you to know that you will come home and that homecoming will never end. God has seen it already and shares it with you.   In his Revelation the apostle John saw “a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes”(Revelation 7:9). Robes that were “washed” and “made. . . white in the blood of the Lamb” (Revelation 7:14). That Lamb John saw at “the center of the throne [and he] will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes’” (Revelation 7:17).   The Lamb, Jesus Christ, was slain for you. He rose victorious for you. He lives forever for you so that you know with certainty, he will welcome you home to heaven, with the waving of palm branches instead of flags. Where he will dry all tears. Where he will satisfy our longings and grant us everlasting peace as he leads us to drink living water.   That homecoming will happen for you and for me, but that time and place is uncertain for us, and the Lamb knows and that is all that matters. For you who have been washed in the blood of the Lamb already have eternal life, aglorious homecoming celebration that will never end. That is certain. I pray that this confidence will dry your tears and give you hope and joy when you face deployments that seem to never end. There is a homecoming that will never end.    Prayer: Heavenly Father, watch over our service members during deployments, training exercises, and dangerous missions. Strengthen those who stand watch far from home. Comfort spouses, children, and parents who wait anxiously for their loved ones to return. Bring peace to families grieving a service member’s death. When orders change and the future feels uncertain, remind them that Jesus, the Lamb who was slain for them, has secured theireternal homecoming through his death and resurrection. As they face the dangers of military service and the uncertainties of life, anchor their hearts in your promises. Keep us all faithful until you welcome us home to the place where every tear is wiped away, and we will dwell with you forever. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.
