Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for July 5, 2025. Today’s meditation on Psalm 1:4–6, titled “The Wicked Shall Not Stand,” contrasts the fate of the righteous and the wicked. While those rooted in God’s Word flourish like a fruitful tree, the wicked are like chaff blown away by the wind, with no foundation or endurance before God’s judgment. Scripture warns that those who reject the Lord cannot stand among the righteous, for their path leads to destruction. Yet God knows the way of the righteous — those redeemed by Christ, rooted in His grace, and preserved by His mercy. Find encouragement to hold firm to Christ, whose saving work secures your place in God’s congregation forever. 🔔 Subscribe for daily LCMS devotions centered on God’s Word, Lutheran teaching, and the hope of salvation in Christ.
