Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for August 16, 2025

In today’s Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla, we begin Psalm 12 with David’s urgent plea: “Save, O Lord, for the godly one is gone” (Psalm 12:1–2 ESV). Looking at a world where truth is rare and deception is common, David laments the loss of faithfulness among God’s people. Lies, flattery, and “double hearts” have replaced honesty and integrity, eroding trust and weakening community. Pastor Balla unpacks how these verses reveal not just social decline but a deeper spiritual sickness—a turning away from God’s truth. Yet, David’s cry is filled with hope, for the Lord still preserves the faithful and remains the unshakable source of truth. This devotion calls us to live with sincerity, speak words that reflect Christ’s integrity, and pray for God to raise up the godly in every generation.☕ Support this ministry: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphHashtags:#Psalm12Devotion#PeopleOfTruth#GodlyLiving#DailyLutheranDevotion#PastorBalla
