  • With Jesus My Shepherd, I Lack Nothing – April 27, 2026

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260427dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Psalm 23:1 With Jesus My Shepherd, I Lack Nothing What is missing in your life? In the context of reading this devotion and having just been reminded of the opening verse of Psalm 23, you might quickly confess with David, “Since the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.” But as the day goes on, the week progresses, and you look at your bills, deadlines, relationships, health, and responsibilities, you might feel there is something missing. There may be something lacking in your marriage, job satisfaction, daily routines, or life in general. Maybe you could name that missing thing right away. Maybe even talk for an hour over coffee with a friend about what your life is lacking. So why have countless generations of God’s people had these words of David on their lips, “The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not be in want”? Is it a calm expression of trust in God’s providence? Is it to remind themselves to be content, despite their feelings of loss, frustration, or fear? Or is it a prayer, asking the Lord to keep their minds focused on his love for them? You likely would not be surprised if I suggested it was all of the above. It’s true that some things people long for flow from misplaced priorities. The human heart, darkened by original sin, may have you desiring things that are not yours or that are not for your good. The Lord calls you to repent and to return to him, finding in his forgiving grace the one thing you truly need in this life. In other cases, what seems missing may be a truly God-pleasing thing, a blessing only he can give, but for some reason seems elusive to you right now: like peace, safety, contentment, or hope. The Lord invites you to trust his love for you and his promises, which are all fulfilled in Jesus, the Good Shepherd. He bound himself to you and laid down his life for you. You can confidently say with David, “He is my shepherd. With him, I have everything I will ever need.” Prayer: (CW, 552:1) The King of love my shepherd is, whose goodness fails me never; I nothing lack if I am his, and he is mine forever.

  • Military Devotion – Walk the Darkest Valley with Your Shepherd – April 24, 2026

    Watch the Devotion Based on Psalm 23 Walk the Darkest Valley with Your Shepherd There is a canyon less than 50 yards from our front door. Before you enter the canyon, a sign explains that area was once known as Camp Elliott and served as a training area for artillery during WWII. At the bottom of the sign there is a warning: “Salvage work has been done to remove unexploded shells, but it is possible that due to natural erosion, shells could surface. If you should discover any, do not touch it!”    It is possible that there are unexploded shells in this canyon… In the early 80s some people found one, picked it up and it killed them. Did I also mention that there are coyotes and tarantulas, scorpions and rattlesnakes, and ticks in this canyon?   Every time I walk this canyon I am reminded of King David’s words in Psalm 23, “Even though I walk through the darkest valley . . .” (Psalm 23:4). This canyon is a picture of my life. Seen and unseen dangers are waiting to afflict my body and soul, my property and reputation. What about you?   Life in our nation’s military is like walking through the darkest valley – not just when you’re downrange or underway, not just when you’re at NTC or some other training – but the devil is always waiting to afflict you with spiritual harm. Death and grave are always lurking.   Then King David says in the psalm, “I will fear no evil, for you are with me” (Psalm 23:4). Who is the “you” to whom David refers? You probably know the answer, “The LORD, who is my shepherd, who leads me, guides me, who restores my soul, who laid down his life for mine, only to take it up again, so that he might live and be with me, who will make sure that I dwell in his house forever.”   This canyon not only reminds me that I walk through the darkest valley, but that Jesus is my Good Shepherd, because the name of the canyon is East Shepherd Canyon. If you visit San Diego, stop by and we’ll walk Shepherd Canyon together and talk about Jesus and how he makes sure we lack no good thing because he is our Good Shepherd. Until that day, I encourage you to read Psalm 23 today and then read John chapter 10 and know that Jesus your Shepherd walks with you through the darkest valleys.    Prayer: O Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Good Shepherd who laid down your life for the sheep. Lead us now to the still waters of your life-giving Word that we may abide in your Father’s house forevermore. Walk with all who are deployed, all who are in basic training, those who are in their different schools of training – be their guide. Restore them when days are difficult. Lead them to the green pastures of your Word through faithful chaplains and pastors and Christian friends. We ask this in your name, Amen.  Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.
