"Choose Your Master" is the theme of our devotion for Wednesday, June 17, 2026. It is from the Lutheran Hour Ministries and written by Dr. Kari Vo. Wishing you a wonderful day! Shelley

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. … For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:12-18, 20-23)

-----

Think of a slave market. Who is walking around and making choices? The masters, that’s who. The slaves have to stay in one place and put up with whatever the masters decide to do. They have no options.

But Paul gives us a different picture—a market where it’s the slaves who are choosing their masters! And their lives will be completely different, depending on which master they choose.

The first master is one that we all know very well, from our own lived experience. It’s sin—the force inside us that drives us to do what is bad and wrong and unhealthy, even when we know better. And of course, if we decide to serve that master, it’s going to end up in death. How could it not?

But the other master is one that we can only serve because Jesus Christ has set us free to do so. That master is righteousness—or maybe we could call it God Himself. Jesus set us free from the power of sin through His own suffering, death, and resurrection. And now we belong to Him, to love Him and do what is good in God’s eyes—not out of fear or obligation, but out of free love and thankfulness. How could we not want to serve the One who saved us at the cost of His own life?

Dear Jesus, Your service is real freedom. Keep me Yours forever. Amen.

"Suffering" is the theme of our devotion for Tuesday, June 16, 2026. It is from the Lutheran Hour Ministries and written by Dr. Kari Vo. Wishing you a wonderful day! Shelley

[The prophet Jeremiah said:] O Lord, You have deceived me, and I was deceived; You are stronger than I, and You have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all the day; everyone mocks me. For whenever I speak, I cry out, I shout, “Violence and destruction!” For the word of the Lord has become for me a reproach and derision all day long. If I say, “I will not mention Him, or speak any more in His Name,” there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot. For I hear many whispering. Terror is on every side! “Denounce him! Let us denounce him!” say all my close friends, watching for my fall. “Perhaps he will be deceived; then we can overcome him and take our revenge on him.” But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten. O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You have I committed my cause. Sing to the Lord; praise the Lord! For He has delivered the life of the needy from the hand of evildoers. (Jeremiah 20:7-13)

-----

These are the words of Jeremiah the prophet, after God sent him to give bad news to the people of Judah. They had rebelled against God, even sacrificing their own children to idols! And so God sent Jeremiah to tell them disaster was coming.

But of course, nobody likes bad news. And so one of the leaders beat up Jeremiah and put him in the stocks overnight as punishment. Just imagine how Jeremiah felt—he said everything God told him to say, and now he was paying for it with pain and public shame. No wonder he’s upset with God!

And Jeremiah is very upset—so angry and heartsick that he imagines what it would be like to just stop being a prophet altogether—to quit God’s service and never say a word again to try to help anybody.

But it won’t work. God’s word burns inside him, and Jeremiah can’t stop himself from warning the people. And even when he’s upset with God, he can’t stop trusting Him or hoping in Him either. He knows that God is with him even in the darkest times, and he trusts God to rescue him.

That gives me hope too. Because there are times in our lives when we suffer for doing the right thing, for simply doing what God wants us to do—and we too are tempted to give up. But God will not give up on us. God came Himself into our broken, ruined world to rescue us at the cost of His own suffering and death. He knows what it’s like. He went through it.

And then He rose from the dead to give us everlasting life, peace, and joy. Evil won’t win in the end. Jesus will. And we will celebrate with Him as His people.

Dear Lord, when I suffer, be with me and help me to hope in You! Amen.

Our devotion for Monday, June 15, 2026, is from the Lutheran Hour Ministries and written by Dr. Carol Geisler. Wishing you a great day! Shelley

Because he holds fast to Me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows My Name. When he calls to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation. (Psalm 91:14-16)

-----

“He knows My Name.” With those words the psalmist is not rejoicing in the fact that God knows his name, although that is of course true. This is a statement from the Lord Himself, expressing His delight in those who trust in Him and know His sacred Name. Yet for many people today the Name of God remains unknown. Some people imagine “God” as a nameless power or cosmic force. Others prefer to keep God at a distance. They would rather not know His Name, calling on Him only when they want something from Him. All who worship these nameless gods have “exchanged the truth about God for a lie” (Romans 1:25a).

Called by the Holy Spirit and enlightened by the Gospel, we know God’s Name because He has revealed it to us. Once known as God Almighty, He spoke to Moses from a burning bush and revealed His holy Name: “I AM WHO I AM.” Under the authority of that sacred Name, Moses led the Israelites out of slavery to freedom, telling them, “I AM has sent me to you” (Exodus 3:14b). I AM is the God who saves and sets people free. He is the God in whom we trust and He is not a nameless, self-help kind of God. He is not an un-named power or force. He is our Heavenly Father and the Father of our Savior Jesus Christ.

We know and love the Name of Jesus, the Name above all names, a Name that means “God saves.” Salvation is not simply a matter of knowing His Name. We know and believe that Jesus died for us and rose in victory over death. We trust Him to deliver us from sin, death, and Satan because Jesus is God in human flesh. He is I AM, the God who saves and sets people free (see John 8:58). As these psalm verses remind us, the Lord in whom we trust and whose Name we know will deliver and protect us. He will answer us when we call to Him and rescue us from evil. He will honor us and satisfy us with life and salvation. There are people all around us who do not yet know the Name of God. They may refuse to acknowledge His existence or worship a false god. We know God’s Name, and we can introduce Him to those who do not yet know Him. We want them to join us in holding fast to Jesus, who is I AM, the God who saves and sets people free.

Dear Lord Jesus, help me to share Your holy Name and saving work with others who do not yet know You. Amen.

Welcome to our devotion for Sunday, June 14, 2026. It is from the Lutheran Hour Ministries, written by Dr. Carol Geisler, and based on the hymn, "Hark, the Voice of Jesus Crying." Have a wonderful and blessed day! Shelley

“Let none hear you idly saying, ‘There is nothing I can do,’ While the multitudes are dying And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth, ‘Here am I, send me, send me!’”

-----

The Lord of the harvest gazes at fields that are ready and waiting. The people He came to save need to hear the good news of the kingdom of God, “but the laborers are few” (Luke 10:2b). The Savior calls, “Who will go and work today?” Reluctant to witness, we may answer, “There is nothing I can do.” With that response we find ourselves in equally hesitant company. Many saints answered the Lord’s call with a response that was, at least initially, like our own: “There is nothing I can do.”

Called to lead God’s people out of slavery, Moses, being slow of speech, simply replied, “Please send someone else” (Exodus 4:13b). Consecrated before birth to be a prophet, Jeremiah protested the prophetic call because of his youth and inexperience. Jonah, sent to proclaim a message of repentance in enemy territory, did not bother with excuses. He just sailed off in the other direction. The prophet Isaiah, aware of his own sin, cried out, “Woe is me!” (Isaiah 6:5b). Some New Testament believers were also reluctant harvest laborers. James and John wanted glory without suffering. On the night his Lord was arrested, Peter swore that he never knew Jesus. A believer named Ananias was reluctant to lay hands of blessing on a Pharisee named Saul, a known enemy of Jesus’ followers.

A shining exception among those reluctant servants was a young woman, Mary of Nazareth. Called to be the mother of the Messiah, Mary answered in humble trust: “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your Word” (Luke 1:38b). Mary’s Son, the Son of God, humbled Himself to be born among us. Obedient to His Heavenly Father, Jesus gave Himself willingly into death for our salvation. God forgives our sins for Jesus’ sake, just as He forgave each of His reluctant but repentant saints and sent them out into the harvest fields. Still today the Lord of the harvest calls witnesses to labor in the ripening fields, bringing the Good News of salvation to the world. We may worry about our worthiness for the work before us, but the Lord prepares His workers for service. He forgives our sins and promises His abiding presence in our lives. Fueled by forgiveness and filled with the Spirit, we answer in the words of Isaiah, eager to join in the harvest work: “Here am I, send me, send me!”

Dear Lord, forgive my sins, and send me as a witness to work in Your harvest fields. Amen.

Our devotion for Saturday, June 13, 2026, is from the Lutheran Hour Ministries and written by Rev. Dr. Gregory Seltz. Wishing you a wonderful day! Shelley

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. (1 John 3:16)

-----

Not long ago, I got a glimpse of the living hope we have in knowing Christ as our Savior after reading about the aftermath of a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, writes Rev. Seltz. One park ranger who was assessing the damage found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, the ranger knocked over the bird with a stick.

When he gently tapped it, three tiny chicks scurried out from under their dead mother’s ashen wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and gathered them under her wings, sensing the approaching danger. She could have flown to safety but refused to abandon her babies. Then the blaze arrived, and the heat scorched her small body. Through this, the mother remained steadfast; she had been willing to die so those under the cover of her wings would live.

When I read about this little bird that saved her babies, I thought of Psalm 91:4a. Here the Bible reminds us: “He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you will find refuge.” The wings of God were the gift of His Son, the power of His cross, and the glory of His resurrection.

All of us are caught up in the conflagration of sin, death, and the power of the devil. Our death is assured if we are left to our own power to try to escape these destructive forces. It is for this reason that God so loved each of us that He sent His own Son to gather us under His protective wings. On Calvary the blazing fire of evil and all our sins struck our Savior. He died with us gathered under His wings so that we, too, might live. The apostle Paul says it this way: “For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

The dead body of Christ was not a pillar of ash that was knocked over and forgotten, as it was with the mother bird’s body. Rather, on the third day, He arose from the dead giving us a true and living hope now and throughout eternity.

The apostle John is reminding us that there is no greater definition of love than one who is willing to lay down his or her life for someone else. How thankful we can be for those who have sacrificed their lives—in any way—so that someone else might live. These acts of love continue to remind us that the greatest act of love is found in Jesus who willingly gave His life for ours.

Thanks be to God who gives us victory in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear Lord Jesus, overwhelm us with Your love so that we can love others the way You love us. Amen.

"Journey Through Anxiety" is the theme of our devotion for Friday, June 12, 2026. It is from the Lutheran Hour Ministries and written by Rev. Dr. Michael Zeigler. Have a wonderful day and great weekend ahead! Shelley

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (Philippians 4:6)

-----

How do you react to a warning light on your car? Do you immediately start picturing yourself stranded on the interstate in a thunderstorm? Do your palms start to sweat because you feel like you’re driving a 2,000-pound ticking-time-bomb? Or, do you assume that it’s probably not a big deal? It’s most likely a false indication, anyway, so there’s nothing to worry about. It’s part of the providence of God that if you have multiple people sharing a car, usually you balance each other out on this question. One of you wants the warning light fixed yesterday. The other is content to stick a yellow smiley face over it. And together, you eventually get it to a mechanic who can tell you what you actually need.

Today we hear one of the many places in which the Bible tells us not to worry. “Don’t be anxious” (see Matthew 6:25, 6:31, 10:19; Luke 12:11; Isaiah 35:4). But what is it, to be anxious? Anxiety is fear projected into the future. Fear is an unsettling response to some current threat (real or perceived). But anxiety is fear of an anticipated threat. The bad thing hasn’t happened, but it could happen, in the future. Anxiety is like a warning light. Your engine isn’t currently seizing, but it could happen. The light tells you that it’s possible that something bad will happen in the future, so you should find out what you can do about it now. Or, it’s also possible that the light is a false indication, and what the system needs is to be reset, and the codes cleared out. But, probably don’t put a sticker over it, okay?

In a fallen world, in a world full of real threats, anxiety is a fact of life. The same Paul, who told us, “don’t’ be anxious,” admits that he himself feels anxiety “for all the churches. See 2 Corinthians 11:28 and Philippians 2:28). Even Jesus, according to His fully human nature, had to journey through extreme mental and spiritual anguish when He anticipated the threat of the cross (see Mark 14:33-36; John 12:27). So, if the Son of God and His holy apostle were both intimate with anxiety, you don’t need to beat yourself up over the fact you’re worried about some stuff. When the Bible says, “cast all your anxieties” on God “because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7), it assumes that you are generally going to have something to cast.

In the right context, anxiety can be good, when it functions as a warning. It’s a creaturely response that helps keep you safe—to warn you to “look before you leap” (or to check your oil before you drive). But anxiety does you no true good until it prompts you to take it all to the Lord in prayer. As Paul tells us and Jesus shows us, anxiety is part of this mortal life. But God doesn’t want us to stay there. He wants to journey with us, through it. When Jesus says, “don’t be anxious,” it’s an invitation to go forward with the all-powerful Creator God whom we get to call “Father,” who cares even for little birds (see Luke 12:6, 24). You can go forward in confidence with the One who deflected your greatest threat—eternal separation from God—because He promises to bring you safely home. You don’t have to worry because Jesus says you’re more valuable than birds and cars—worth dying for. And even better than a mechanic—your Father knows exactly what you need (see Luke 12:30).

Dear Father, once again, I cast all my anxieties on You. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Our devotion for Thursday, June 11, 2026, is from the Lutheran Hour Ministries and written by Dr. Kari Vo. Have a wonderful day! Shelley

And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When He saw the crowds, He had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers in His harvest.” And He called to Him His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him. These twelve Jesus sent out … (Matthew 9:35-10:5a)

-----

If you’re like me, says Dr. Vo, you ask people to pray for you all the time. If someone’s sick, if they’re dying, if you’re in danger of losing a job or your house, if you’re just feeling poorly—you ask people to pray. And that’s sensible, isn’t it?

But in today’s story, we get the only prayer request Jesus ever made of His disciples, as far as I can remember. He looked at the crowds of human beings He was preaching the Gospel to, and He had compassion on them. And He said to His disciples—to us!—“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

This is still true, isn’t it? Most of us can simply look out a window and see some of the people Jesus came to save. Even if we are out in the desert, a glance at our cellphones shows us a world dying without Christ—a world of people who are “harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” And the longer we have been with Jesus, the closer we come to His heart—the more our hearts will break for these people. For we were once among them—without life and without hope in the world.

But Jesus reached out to us. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, He brought us to Himself in faith. His suffering and death set us free from our sin, guilt, and shame; and now that He has risen from the dead, He gives us His own real, eternal life that has started already in our hearts, and that will go on forever. We know what it means to be at peace with God—more than that, to be His beloved children, people whom God delights in. That is what Jesus wants for every human being.

And so now He sends us out, both to pray and to speak the Good News to the people around us, so they can trust in Jesus, too.

Dear Lord, I’m nervous, but I love You. Use me to bring others to faith in You—and please remember my weakness, and show me what You can do through me in spite of it. Amen.

"Dying for the Ungodly" is the theme of our devotion for Wednesday, June 10, 2026. It is from the Lutheran Hour Ministries and written by Dr. Kari Vo. Have a great day! Shelley

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by His blood, much more shall we be saved by Him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. (Romans 5:6-10)

-----

I think pretty much all Christians have days when our sins overwhelm us and we can’t make ourselves believe that God really wants us—that He really loves us, forgives us, and wants us to be His own, writes Dr. Vo. It’s a human problem. We know ourselves well enough to look at our sins and think “Yuck!” and turn away in loathing. We wouldn’t want even our closest friends to know the evil thoughts that flit through our heads, even (maybe especially!) when we’re trying to do good. And how terrible if anyone ever found out about that thing we did years ago, that still worries us at night when we’re lying awake!

Paul knows we feel this way. He had his own nightmarish sins to accuse him. But Paul found something stronger than the power of sin to accuse and make us feel horrible. He found Jesus—or I should say, Jesus found him. Jesus found him right in the middle of his worst sins—actually on the road to Damascus, where Paul intended to arrest and imprison and kill Christian believers! And Jesus made Paul His own, forever.

If you believe in Jesus, He has found you as well. He came looking for you, and your sins didn’t put Him off! Your sins are no surprise to Him—He knew them, suffered for them, and put an end to them, long before you were born—on a cross outside the walls of Jerusalem.

This is why Paul can say, “For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. … God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus never said, “Clean up your act and then I’ll die for you, then I’ll make you My own.” No, He came and He suffered and He died and He set us free, long before we were born. He washed us clean and took us to belong to Him forever and He gave us a share in His own resurrected life—and He did all of this before we even knew enough to wish for it, when we didn’t even know His Name. He loved us when we were still in our sins—and if He could love us to the point of death then, what will He do for us now?

Dear Lord, You loved me when I was a sinner—enough to die for me! I need Your help to believe this. It’s too wonderful for me. Help me. Amen.

For Tuesday, June 9, 2026, our devotion is from the Lutheran Hour Ministries and written by Dr. Kari Vo. Wishing you a wonderful day! Shelley

They [the people of Israel] set out from Rephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and they encamped in the wilderness. There Israel encamped before the mountain, while Moses went up to God. The Lord called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you shall be My treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is Mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.” So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the Lord had commanded Him. All the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” And Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord. (Exodus 19:2-8)

-----

Dr. Vo writes, Have you ever wondered why God chose Israel to be His special nation? Indeed, why bother having any special nation at all? I think the reason God chose one nation is right here in these words: “You shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”

What exactly does that mean, a “kingdom of priests”? What exactly are priests, anyway, according to the Bible? What are they supposed to do?

I went looking, and I found this in the book of Hebrews: “For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins” (Hebrews 5:1). That is how the Bible describes the work of a priest: to serve as a mediator between God and human beings, mainly by offering sacrifices for human sin.

That was supposed to be Israel’s role when it came to all the other nations. They were to serve as mediators. They were to tell other nations about the true God, so that all people, Jews and Gentiles alike, could draw near to Him and put their trust in Him.

But what about the sacrifices part? That, too, came true—because Jesus our Lord was born a Jew, under the law of Israel, pure and holy, without flaw. And as the sinless Lamb of God, Jesus gave Himself up as a sacrifice on the cross, taking away all our sins—all the guilt and shame and penalty that lay against us. Because He suffered and died for us, we are set free from our sins—every human being who trusts in Him, Jew and Gentile alike. And because He rose from the dead, we have life and joy and peace in Him forever—living together in His kingdom.

Dear Jesus, thank You for sacrificing Yourself for me, so that I too may be part of Your kingdom. Amen.

Our devotion for Monday, June 8, 2026, is from the Lutheran Hour Ministries and written by Dr. Carol Geisler. Wishing you a wonderful day! Shelley

Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise! Give thanks to Him; bless His Name! For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations. (Psalm 100:4-5)

-----

If faithful church-goers respond to a survey about their reasons for attending worship, there may be as many different answers as there are respondents. Why do they worship every Sunday? Some enjoy music and like to sing the hymns that celebrate our salvation. Others want to hear the Scripture readings and the sermon, teachings that will help them grow in faith. Many look forward to receiving God’s gifts of Word and Sacrament. There will be those who especially long for the peace and comfort they find in the words of the absolution. Others enjoy fellowship with their brothers and sisters in Christ, and many may attend simply in joyful obedience to the Lord’s command to keep the Sabbath day holy.

These are all reasonable answers, but the psalmist might have a different response for a worship survey. He worships with joy, entering the Lord’s temple with thanksgiving and praise. He blesses the holy Name of the Lord. But why is he there in God’s house? The psalmist is not there because he enjoys music, although it is very likely that he does because he composes songs! The temple is a place to learn the Word of God and to grow in faith and fellowship with all who trust in the God of Israel. But the psalmist has another reason for his attendance. He goes to the temple because the Lord is good. The psalmist worships in God’s presence because the steadfast love of the Lord endures forever, and His faithfulness lasts through all generations.

“The Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever.” Whatever our personal likes or opinions might be as we go to church, our reasons are the same as those of the psalmist. We come together to worship with our brothers and sisters in Christ because of the enduring, steadfast love of our Lord. That steadfast love led our Savior to take up His cross and die for us. The Lord’s steadfast love and faithfulness are revealed in the gift of His holy Supper as we receive His body and blood, given and shed for the forgiveness of our sins. It is the steadfast love of the Lord that comforts and encourages us through the reading, teaching, and hearing of His Word. Week after week, we “enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise” to receive God’s gracious gifts of Word and Sacrament. We might respond to a survey with a variety of answers about our reasons for worship, but each time we gather to worship in the presence of the Lord, we are there because of His steadfast love!

Dear Lord, now and forever, accept my grateful praise for Your steadfast, enduring love. Amen.
