Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). We have to wait for heaven. That’s just true. And things aren’t always going to be easy while we are waiting. But like the thief on the cross, we can be confident that paradise is ours because the heavy burden of our sin was left on the cross with our Savior. Prayer: Jesus, thank you, that for your sake I can be confident of my place in paradise. Amen. #wels #welslutherans #welsdailydevotions #dailydevotions #biblestudy #lutheransoffacebook

Gathering with friends and family around the table, we offer this prayer from Bread for the Day. Make yourself known to us, God of life, as we share the bounty of this food and drink. We give you thanks for those who have gone before us in faith, revealing to us your gracious reign. Feed those who hunger, and give us all a hunger for justice and peace. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom” (Luke 23:42). This man’s repentance was simply and beautifully expressed with a few words. And what happened in heaven? Thanksgiving broke out. At least for that one sinner, it was the best Thanksgiving ever because of what it meant that day and what it will mean for him for all eternity. It won’t be about memories and traditions that eventually fade. It means life everlasting! Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for suffering what you did on that Friday we call good. Amen. #wels #welslutherans #welsdailydevotions #dailydevotions #biblestudy #lutheransoffacebook

Today, Nov. 27, is the National Day of Mourning. This day acknowledges the painful history of how colonization destroyed the lives of Indigenous people on Turtle Island for more than 500 years. In the Gospels, Jesus invites us to bear one another’s burdens and to walk alongside those who mourn (Matthew 5:4). Today we pause to reflect on the many ways in which colonization has caused harm to Native Americans and how we can work toward justice; rescue the oppressed; defend the orphan; plead for the widow” (Isaiah 1:17).

The Foundation and DevCo staff wish you and yours a blessed and happy Thanksgiving celebration! #umchurches #thanksgiving2025 #vaumf #countyourblessings https://vaumfoundation.org/

One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong” (Luke 23:39-41). Truer words were never spoken. They were words inspired by Jesus’ cross, the distinctive symbol of God’s perfect justice and his perfect love. The cross inspired the thief to confess the truth about his sin and his Savior. May the cross do the same for you. Prayer: Jesus, help me see the depth of my sin and the certainty of my salvation in your cross. Amen. #wels #welslutherans #welsdailydevotions #dailydevotions #biblestudy #lutheransoffacebook
