  • We’ve Had a Problem – October 26, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20261026dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. Romans 3:19-20 We’ve Had a Problem On April 13, 1970, an oxygen tank exploded aboard the Apollo 13 spacecraft. Drifting into the dark vacuum of space, the crew faced a catastrophic systems failure. Their oxygen was escaping into space, and their power was rapidly draining. The radio crackled with a now-historic phrase: “Houston, we’ve had a problem.” Those astronauts couldn’t save themselves. They couldn’t step out and piece the spacecraft back together. If they had been forced to rely on their own resources, they would have been doomed. The apostle Paul issues a similar, terrifying diagnostic report for you and me. By nature, we like to think we can navigate our own way to heaven. We assume the law—God’s holy commandments—is a step-by-step flight manual to manage a safe landing there. But Paul shatters that illusion. God’s law was not intended to save sinners. It was given so that “every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.” It’s a master warning alarm flashing aggressively on our spiritual control panel. It can’t fix our broken condition; it simply tells us there’s a problem. “Through the law we become conscious of our sin.” When we honestly measure ourselves against God’s holy demands, our self-righteous defenses crumble. Our mouths shut. We realize our spiritual oxygen is completely depleted. We have a problem. We can’t fix it. But our rescue doesn’t depend on us. Just as the Apollo Crew had to rely entirely on Mission Control to get them home, we rely entirely on God’s rescue mission in Jesus. Our Savior stepped into our doomed vessel, lived perfectly under God’s law in our place, suffered the fatal consequences of our sin on the cross, and rose victorious to bring us safely home. God’s law only diagnoses and condemns; Jesus gives life. When the law silences your excuses, don’t despair. Look to Jesus. The problem is fatal, but your Savior has already rescued you. Prayer: Jesus, help me see how helpless I am, and empower me to cling to you now and forever. Amen.   Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Military Devotions

  • Military Devotion – When Faith Makes You Stand Out – October 23, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on Matthew 10:16-23 When Faith Makes You Stand Out   Dan worked for the government. Dan was a believer in the one true God. Dan enjoyed the free exercise of his faith in the one true God under this government. One day the government decided to change its policy about the free exercise of one’s religious beliefs. What did Dan do? He went home and prayed, giving thanks to God. Dan asked God for his help in this situation.   Dan had fellow government employees who did not like him very much because he was a believer in the one true God. They spied on Dan and witnessed him violating the new government policy. They went to their supreme leader and ratted Dan out. Dan was slated for execution because of what he had done.   Dan’s story might sound familiar to some of you, because it is the story of Daniel in the book that bears his name. I’d encourage you to read Daniel chapter 6 today, because Dan’s story is very much like yours.   As a war fighter, you are an employee of the federal government. Our constitution protects the free exercise of your religious beliefs. Military chaplains exist to protect the free exercise of all religions within the United States military. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act prohibits the government from substantially burdening a person’s exercise of their religious beliefs and practices.   But you and I know that it is not always easy to be faithful. When you are the only one who requests religious accommodation, and you stand out because you are “special,” when you are the one who bows your head in prayer before every meal, when you are the one who has the Bible or this blue devotion book on your desk in your room or your office or in the barracks, when you are the one who reads that Bible or devotion book, when you are the one who does not embody the “work hard–play hard” mentality, you might feel like Daniel.  And do you feel some guilt for those times that you have not lived as Daniel did? But God has made some promises to you. And he gives us the story of Daniel to show us the kind of God that he is for us when it is difficult to live as Christians.   Dan was slated for execution by being thrown into a den of hungry lions. But God sent an angel to shut the mouths of the lions and preserved Daniel’s life.   God never promised Daniel that he would rescue him in that way. But he had made a promise to Daniel “never to leave [him] or forsake [him]” (Deuteronomy 31:8). God had promised to always be Daniel’s Savior. He had promised Daniel that eternal life was his. And Daniel trusted those promises.    Jesus has made promises to you. About those times when you stand up and say something about the truth of the Scriptures, “Do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” And then Jesus promised, “You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved” (Matthew 10:19-20, 22).   Stand firm even when it is not easy to do so. For it is Jesus who causes you to stand firm in him and his promises.    Prayer: Gracious Lord, our refuge and strength, pour out your Holy Spirit on your faithful people whose vocation is Soldiering. Keep our war fighters steadfast in your Word. Protect and comfort them in all temptations. Defend them against all their enemies and bestow on your church your saving peace, so that she might endure for eternity, for you have promised it. I pray this through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.   Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.
