Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for September 5, 2026

In this Daily Devotion for September 5, 2026, Pastor David Balla walks through Psalm 78:64-66, where grief builds until God suddenly awakes as from sleep, like a strong man shouting, and puts His adversaries to everlasting shame. What felt like divine silence gave way, without warning, to complete deliverance.This devotion carries that same pattern to the tomb of Jesus. For three days it looked like death had won completely, and heaven stayed silent. Then Jesus rose, awakening from death itself like a conqueror, putting sin, death, and every enemy to everlasting shame at once. There we find true grace, forgiveness, and salvation, secured once and for all through His finished work. Through His redemption we are welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven, and in the Lord's Supper that same victory is proclaimed and given to us again, His true body and blood for the forgiveness of sins.Whatever silence you are enduring right now, remember that the same God who raised Jesus is not sleeping. His apparent silence and actual absence are never the same thing. He is simply not finished yet.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
