Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for September 10, 2026

In this Daily Devotion for September 10, 2026, Pastor David Balla walks through Psalm 79:7-9, a prayer that builds its case on nothing Israel had done well. Crushed and brought very low, the writer asks God not to remember their sins at all, appealing entirely to compassion rather than merit.This devotion follows that appeal to where it rests, not on Israel's worthiness but on God's own name and character as the God who saves. Atonement was never something sinners could produce for themselves. It came fully and finally in Jesus, who bore the sins that could not simply be overlooked, satisfying justice completely so mercy could be given freely to everyone who trusts Him. There we find true grace, forgiveness, and salvation, secured through His finished work. Through His redemption we are welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven, and in the Lord's Supper that same atonement is placed into our hands again, His true body and blood given for the forgiveness of sins.Come to God today the way this prayer does. Do not bring your record. Bring your need, and trust that He acts for the glory of His own name, the name that sent Jesus to atone for you completely.Subscribe for weekly sermons and Daily Devotions.If this devotion has blessed you, consider supporting this ministry: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphYou can also give directly at https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphHashtags (5)#DailyDevotion #Lutheran #LCMS #BibleStudy #Christianity
