  • Your King Is Obedient – April 1, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260401dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross. Philippians 2:8 Your King Is Obedient When my boys were little, my office was at home. One day, my oldest son decided that he wanted to act out the story of Noah’s ark. He handed out the parts to the “cast.” He was to be Noah, his mom was to be “Mrs. Noah,” and his younger brother would play the part of God. Sometime later, I could hear him calling out, “God? Where are you, God?” Apparently, his younger brother had wandered off, and as younger brothers do, wasn’t following the director’s orders. God wasn’t very obedient that day! It’s stunning to think that God would be obedient to anyone. He created all things. Nothing would exist unless he allowed it to. You and I would not draw one more breath, and the earth would not make one more turn unless God himself allowed it to happen. And yet God humbled himself. Jesus allowed sinful human beings to disrespect him, arrest him, mock him, and harm him. He could have stopped them and dropped them dead in their tracks if he chose to. But Jesus chose something else. To humble himself and be obedient—obedient all the way to death on a cross. How far does your obedience to God go? On our best of days, maybe we can feel good that we were able to show God’s love to someone, to turn the other cheek when tempted to lash out, to turn away from some temptation that allured us. And yet, even our very best days can’t free us from the fact that we are sinful in our very nature. And then there are the days when we don’t act our best. Jesus, despite his power and authority, became obedient to the extreme—even death on a cross. Jesus chose perfect obedience to his heavenly Father. Jesus chose willing submission even to sinful humans. He chose obedience all the way to a gruesome and shameful death. Jesus’ obedience was never half-hearted or occasional. Because Jesus obeyed, we have forgiveness. Through faith in him, his obedience has become ours. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for submitting yourself to the cross to save me. Grant me faith to grow in setting aside my own desires to serve my God and others. Amen.   Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

  • Military Devotion – MAYDAY. MAYDAY. MAYDAY. – March 27, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on Matthew 21:1-11 MAYDAY. MAYDAY. MAYDAY. The call comes through on VHF Channel 16, “MAYDAY. MAYDAY. MAYDAY.” Help me! The vessel is taking on water. There is a medical emergency. The vessel is on fire. Help me!   When that distress signal comes in, the U.S. Coast Guard gathers the critical information, broadcasts an Urgent Marine Information Broadcast to nearby vessels and then dispatches rescue assets like a boat or helicopter. A rescue swimmer is often a member of the MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew deployed to respond to a distress call.   Last month off the coast of Washington state, Petty Officer 2nd Class Tyler Jaggers was that rescue swimmer, deployed to help a distressed mariner aboard a large vessel. As Coast Guard aircrews and rescue swimmers have done thousands of times before, Tyler put his life in danger so that others may live. Unfortunately, Tyler gave the ultimate sacrifice and died in the line of duty. Someone called out, “Mayday. Help me.” and he responded.    For over 1,000 years God’s people cried out, “Help me.” The word they used wasn’t “Mayday” but “Hosanna”, which means, “Save!” On a Sunday around 30AD people lined the road that led down the Mount of Olives into the city of Jerusalem and issued a distress signal, “Hosanna! Save us!” They were already drowning… in all that they had failed to do right and in all they had done wrong in God’s sight. They needed someone to rescue them and they saw their rescuer. His name was Jesus. He came riding into the city, not on an aircraft or maritime vessel, but on a donkey. He had come to save knowing the dangers to his own life, knowing he would die in this rescue operation, but others would live.    2,000 years later we send that same ancient distress signal on that same radio frequency, “Hosanna! Come and save us!” Jesus answers that call every single time. For all that we have not done and all we have done wrong in God’s sight that makes us feel as if we are drowning in the sorrow over our sins, Jesus comes riding in through his words, “He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8) to save you. Every single time we issue the Mayday distress signal, “Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Matthew 21:9).  Jesus comes riding in – in a very real way – through body and blood in bread and wine so that you may live.   When you feel overwhelmed by your sin and guilt, send out the distress signal, “MAYDAY. MAYDAY. MAYDAY.” “Hosanna! Come and save me, Lord Jesus!” and he will respond with free and full forgiveness so that you may live.     Prayer: Almighty and everlasting God, work in us Godly repentance that humbly and daily confesses our sins and then confidently turns to your Son Jesus, our Savior, so that we might know and believe our sins are indeed forgiven for the sake of his humble obedience and death on a cross. Comfort all who mourn the death of Tyler Jaggers. Send your holy angels to watch over those who serve as rescue swimmers. Protect them so that others may live. Amen. Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.
