Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for July 12, 2025. Today’s reflection from Psalm 3:5–6, “I Lay Down and Slept,” offers a powerful word of comfort and courage. In the face of overwhelming danger, David confesses that he could sleep peacefully — not because the threats vanished, but because the Lord sustained him.

We explore how true rest, even in the midst of anxiety or fear, is found in trusting God’s faithful care. Each new morning is a testimony to His mercy. When thousands rise against us — whether external enemies or internal fears — we are not shaken, for Christ our Savior is with us.

This devotion is especially for those who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or burdened by life’s uncertainties. Rest in God’s promises. Share this message to encourage others with the peace that only Jesus gives.

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for July 11, 2025. Today’s meditation from Psalm 3:3–4, “The Lord My Shield and Glory,” brings us from despair to confidence. Surrounded by enemies and abandoned by many, David lifts his eyes and confesses the truth: “But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.”

God surrounds His people with His protecting grace, lifting up those bowed down by fear, shame, or sorrow. Even when earthly status is lost, the believer’s glory remains in being known and sustained by the Lord. From His holy hill — the place of His dwelling and reign — the Lord hears and answers.

This devotion points us to Christ, who lifts our heads from the cross to the empty tomb. Subscribe for daily Gospel-centered devotions rooted in Scripture and Lutheran (LCMS) confession.

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for July 10, 2025. Today’s devotion, “Many Are My Foes” from Psalm 3:1–2, reflects David’s honest cry in the face of overwhelming adversity. As he fled from Absalom, his own son, David was surrounded by enemies and slander. His foes not only threatened his life but also questioned his salvation: “There is no salvation for him in God.”

But David turns not to despair—but to prayer. In the midst of betrayal and fear, he cries to the Lord who hears. This psalm reminds us that even when the voices of doubt rise, God remains faithful. And ultimately, it points us to Jesus, who was surrounded by enemies on the cross yet triumphed over sin and death for us.
