Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for July 20, 2026

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 20, 2026. "You Hold My Right Hand" opens Psalm 73:22-24 (ESV) with one of the most breathtaking reversals in all of Scripture — a man who confesses he was brutish and ignorant as a beast before God, only to discover in the very next breath that God had been holding onto him the whole time anyway. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how that single word "nevertheless" carries the whole gospel — and how those six words, "you hold my right hand," reveal that God's grip on us, not ours on Him, is what keeps us safe. Jesus came for confused, envious, embarrassed people exactly like the man in this psalm, took hold at the cross when sin was doing its worst, and never let go. Your standing with Him has never been about your insight or your grip strength — it is about His hand around yours, guiding you now and bringing you all the way home to glory. This Bible devotion brings deep comfort to anyone feeling more brutish than brilliant today. Perfect for morning devotion, personal prayer, or daily Bible study.
