Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for September 16, 2026

In this Daily Devotion for September 16, 2026, Pastor David Balla walks through Psalm 80:10-12, where the vine God planted had grown enormous, only to have its protecting walls broken down, left exposed to anyone passing by. The writer asks God plainly why, an honest question faith is permitted to bring before Him.This devotion names that same exposure every believer eventually feels, protection seemingly vanishing, life open to attack. But lament is not the final word. Jesus, the true vine, was Himself completely exposed and plundered at the cross, stripped of every human protection, so that you, grafted into Him, would never ultimately be left unguarded again. 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 He continues to guard and keep us, giving His true body and blood for the forgiveness of sins.Bring your own broken walls honestly before God today. He is not offended by the question why. He has already answered it fully in Jesus, who was exposed so that you could finally be secure.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
