Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for August 30, 2025. Today’s devotion, “I Bless the Lord Who Gives Me Counsel” from Psalm 16:7–8 (ESV), reminds us of the Lord’s faithful guidance and unshakable presence. David blesses the Lord for His counsel, even in the night seasons of fear, doubt, or loneliness. God’s Word is not mere advice—it is the living truth that brings clarity, wisdom, and life. To “set the Lord always before me” is to live each day with eyes fixed on Christ, trusting Him as our refuge and strength. Because the Lord is at our right hand, we shall not be shaken. In Jesus, who is our wisdom and our resurrection hope, we find the counsel that directs our path and the confidence that steadies our steps. Join in this devotion to be encouraged in faith and strengthened in God’s promises.

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for August 29, 2025. Today’s devotion, “The Lord Is My Chosen Portion”from Psalm 16:5–6 (ESV), reminds us that true contentment and joy are found not in wealth, possessions, or security, but in the Lord Himself. David confesses that God is both his portion and his cup—his inheritance and his daily sustenance. To have the Lord is to have everything. Even when life seems uncertain or our “lot” feels lacking, our inheritance in Christ is secure, imperishable, and eternal. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus has given us a beautiful inheritance, one that nothing in this world can diminish or take away. This devotion calls us to rest in God’s provision, rejoice in His presence, and live with the confidence that our lines have truly fallen in pleasant places.

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for August 28, 2025. Today’s devotion, “Preserve Me O God” from Psalm 16:1–4 (ESV), begins with a heartfelt prayer for God’s protection: “Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.” David confesses that apart from the Lord, there is no good, reminding us that all blessings and true security come from God alone. This psalm also highlights the gift of the saints—the community of believers who strengthen and encourage one another in faith. In contrast, those who chase after false gods only multiply their sorrows, for idolatry can never give life. Ultimately, this psalm points us to Christ, who perfectly trusted the Father, and through His death and resurrection has become our eternal refuge. In Him, we are preserved not only for this life but forever.

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for August 27, 2025. Today’s devotion, “In Whose Eyes a Vile Person Is Despised” from Psalm 15:4–5 (ESV), explores what it means to live faithfully in God’s presence with integrity, justice, and devotion. The psalmist reminds us that the righteous honor those who fear the Lord, keep their promises even at personal cost, and reject corruption and exploitation. In a world that often celebrates the corrupt and overlooks the faithful, God calls His people to reflect His truth and holiness in both word and deed. Yet none of us perfectly keep this psalm—only Christ did. He honored the Father, kept His word even unto the cross, and upheld justice without compromise. Through Him, we are welcomed into God’s presence and strengthened by the Spirit to live lives of integrity and faith.

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for August 26, 2025. Today’s devotion, “Who Shall Sojourn in Your Tent?”from Psalm 15:1–3 (ESV), invites us to reflect deeply on God’s holiness and our place in His presence. Who can dwell with the Lord? Who is worthy to enter His holy tent? This devotion explores how Psalm 15 reveals both God’s demand for righteousness and the Gospel’s answer in Christ. Only Jesus perfectly walked blamelessly, spoke truth without deceit, and lived in complete integrity. Through faith in Him, His righteousness is counted as ours, opening the way into God’s presence. As forgiven people, we are also called to live transformed lives of love, truth, and service. Join me each day for Bible-based devotions rooted in God’s Word, offering encouragement, guidance, and hope in Christ.
