Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for July 20, 2026

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 20, 2026. "You Hold My Right Hand" opens Psalm 73:22-24 (ESV) with one of the most breathtaking reversals in all of Scripture — a man who confesses he was brutish and ignorant as a beast before God, only to discover in the very next breath that God had been holding onto him the whole time anyway. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how that single word "nevertheless" carries the whole gospel — and how those six words, "you hold my right hand," reveal that God's grip on us, not ours on Him, is what keeps us safe. Jesus came for confused, envious, embarrassed people exactly like the man in this psalm, took hold at the cross when sin was doing its worst, and never let go. Your standing with Him has never been about your insight or your grip strength — it is about His hand around yours, guiding you now and bringing you all the way home to glory. This Bible devotion brings deep comfort to anyone feeling more brutish than brilliant today. Perfect for morning devotion, personal prayer, or daily Bible study.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for July 19, 2026

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 19, 2026. "Like a Dream When One Awakes" opens Psalm 73:19-21 (ESV) with one of Scripture's most arresting images — the wicked, who looked so solid and untouchable, turning out to be nothing more than a dream God shakes off the moment He rouses Himself. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how eternity has a way of showing what was truly solid and what was only mist all along — and how Jesus, who died and rose again, has already stood in eternity's vantage point and come back to tell us what is really true. Death itself, the thing that looks most permanent and final, is no more lasting than a dream once God acts — and your sin, your guilt, everything that once stood against you was buried in that tomb and stays there. What Jesus accomplished is the one thing in this life that is not a dream. This Bible devotion speaks directly to anyone holding this world's comforts or troubles too tightly.
