Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for July 14, 2026

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 14, 2026. "No Pangs Until Death" opens Psalm 73:4-6 (ESV) with an uncomfortable truth — the wicked seem untouched by trouble, strong, comfortable, and at ease, while their very ease produces pride worn like jewelry and violence worn like clothing. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how outward ease has never been the measure of God's favor, and how Jesus — the only truly innocent man who ever lived — proves the opposite pattern entirely, taking the hard road on purpose, carrying trouble not as a sign of God's rejection but as the means of dealing with our sin once and for all. Don't measure God's love by your circumstances, good or hard — measure it by the cross, where He already told you everything you need to know about how much you matter to Him. This Bible devotion brings clarity and comfort to anyone tempted to read life's circumstances as a spiritual scorecard. Perfect for morning devotion, personal prayer, or daily Bible study.
