Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for July 16, 2025. Today’s reflection, “You Have Put Gladness in My Heart” from Psalm 4:6–8, draws our hearts toward the true source of lasting joy and peace. In a world that anxiously asks, “Who will show us some good?”, David turns not to possessions or prosperity but to the presence of the Lord.

When God lifts the light of His face upon us, He gives a joy that surpasses abundance — a gladness deeper than any harvest of grain or overflow of wine. This joy is not earned, but given — placed in our hearts by the God who redeems and sustains us.

In Christ, we find rest that the world cannot offer. Join us in this devotion and discover peace that allows you to sleep in safety, knowing you are held in the hands of your Savior.

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for July 15, 2025. Today’s reflection, “Be Angry and Do Not Sin” from Psalm 4:4–5, speaks directly to our hearts in a world filled with tension and emotional unrest. David acknowledges the reality of anger — even righteous anger — but warns us not to be ruled by it.

We are called to pause, ponder in silence, and respond with faith. In Christ, we are given a better way: holy restraint, genuine repentance, and trust in the Lord’s justice. This devotion unpacks how prayer, silence, and right worship flow from hearts made new by grace.

Whether wrestling with anger, sorrow, or frustration, let the Word of God lead you into peace and renewed trust. In Jesus, our sacrifice and righteousness, we are free to lay down wrath and take up faith.

Welcome to Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for July 14, 2025. Today’s reflection, “Answer When I Call” from Psalm 4:1–3, reminds us that prayer is not just ritual — it’s communion with the God who hears, loves, and acts.

David cries, “Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!” — not based on his merit, but on the Lord’s mercy. Though scorned and slandered, he holds fast to this truth: “The Lord has set apart the godly for Himself; the Lord hears when I call.”

This devotion explores how faith clings to God’s promises even when surrounded by lies and shame. Christ is our righteousness, and in Him, we are heard, set apart, and never forsaken.

Be encouraged today: your prayers do not fall into silence. The Lord hears. Call on Him with confidence!
