  • Righteousness Revealed and Believed – October 11, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20261011dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion In the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” Romans 1:17 Righteousness Revealed and Believed People often talk about “the big reveal.” Whether it is a home remodel, a full-body makeover, or a recently purchased car, people get excited to share news of their new things with family and friends. They enjoy sharing with others what has brought them joy. In our Bible verse today, the apostle Paul talks about “a big reveal.” Far greater than anything in this world we can buy or refurbish, he talks about a truly amazing otherworldly thing God has revealed. It is his righteousness. It is important to note that he’s not talking about the righteousness that God has because he is the all-holy, sin-free deity. In fact, talk of that kind of righteousness can only make unholy, sinful humans afraid if we take time to think about what that means for us. We stand convicted, condemned, and cursed because God is righteous and demands righteousness. We are not that, and we can’t produce it. The desires of our hearts, the thoughts of our minds, and the lives that we lead reveal that all too clearly. Paul is talking about something else here. He tells us that a righteousness from God is revealed or made known in the gospel—the good news of Jesus Christ. It is a real righteousness God gives sinners through faith in Jesus, who lived and died for them. It is as though he says to you: “Because Jesus paid the price, you are no longer counted guilty! You are righteous in my sight.” Such a truth and the life it promises come to us through faith. Be confident that the Lord has declared you righteous in and through Jesus. Live with peace, hope, and joy, knowing that in Jesus, God has revealed his own real righteousness for you. Take a good look at and grab hold of this “big reveal,” and live with your hope for this life and the next one in Jesus. Prayer: Lord, I thank you for the gospel message through which you work faith in my heart. I thank you for declaring me righteous in your sight and for giving me true and lasting life in Jesus. 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 – Honored to Wear It – October 9, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on Romans 1:16,17 Honored to Wear It  I’m going to apologize in advance. If I see you in a restaurant or at the store or out in our community or at an airport and you’re wearing your uniform, I will probably stop and talk to you.  Not because it’s my job, but because I care very deeply for those who serve in our nation’s military. And your uniform says something about you. It’s going to tell me which branch you serve; your rank insignia will tell me whether you’re enlisted or officer and maybe how long you’ve been serving. The patches on your arm will tell me a little bit about your MOS or your rate, your job in in the military. Your uniform says something about you.  The apostle Paul talks about this when he writes, “I am not ashamed of the gospel” (Romans 1:16). The gospel is the good news about Jesus. Paul is not ashamed of that good news about Jesus. He wears it like a uniform. Anybody that came into contact with the apostle Paul knew that he was a Christian because of the way he carried himself, the way he answered questions, the way he forgave people, the way he loved them, the way he was so selfless; he wasn’t so much concerned about what people thought about him but that people knew about Jesus.  When you put on your uniform and go to work, you work alongside people in a religiously pluralistic environment. There are people that work alongside you who come from all sorts of different faiths and beliefs, even people who say they don’t believe anything about God. Sometimes this can make sharing your faith a little uncomfortable. Senior NCO and officers have shared with me that this is hard for them to do because they don’t want to project that their faith is the faith of their command or unit.They have to be very careful about that. There are war fighters who have shared that they are a little bit shy about sharing the gospel because they want to fit in with those around them.   Paul says, “I am unashamed. I am honored to wear the gospel as a uniform.” Why? He goes on to say, “I’m not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16). Paul wanted everyone to know that he wore the uniform of the gospel so that other people might know Jesus.   When you wear the gospel as your uniform people will know that you are a Christian. They will know it because of the way you talk to people, the way that you are service-minded and not self-centered, the way that you forgive and are patient and loving. Wearing that uniform builds bridges with people. As you build those bridges, God is going to open doors so that you can build a bridge to Jesus. Jesus is what they need.  Paul goes on to say in the very next verse that this righteousness that they need to know is not a righteousness of their own. They are righteous before God, not because of things that they have done, but because of what Jesus has done for them. Behonored to wear that righteousness which God has given you, for righteous is what he has declared you to be in Christ Jesus.    Be honored to wear the uniform of the gospel, that good news of Jesus, so that others may wear this uniform, too.    Prayer: Jesus, you have called us to serve others and to live as your people wherever you place us. Give our military members courage to be unashamed of your gospel. Help them reflect your love in the way they speak, serve, forgive, and care for those around them. When they work alongside people of different beliefs or no faith at all, give them wisdom and humility. Let their lives point others to you without fear or embarrassment. May their uniforms identify whom they serve in this world, while their words and actions show whom they serve eternally. Amen.  Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.
