Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for September 13, 2026

In this Daily Devotion for September 13, 2026, Pastor David Balla walks through Psalm 80:1-3, a cry to the Shepherd of Israel, asking His face to shine again and His hidden presence to break out visibly. Restoration here is not vague. It is asked for on behalf of real people who needed God to act, not merely to feel sympathy from a distance.This devotion follows that shepherding rule to its fullest expression in Jesus, the Good Shepherd who did not merely shine His face from a throne above the cherubim, but stepped fully into human flesh to seek and save His scattered flock personally. There we find true grace, forgiveness, and salvation, His face already shining toward us in Christ. Through His redemption we are welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven, and in the Lord's Supper that same shepherding presence comes to us still, giving His true body and blood for the forgiveness of sins.Whatever restoration you are asking God for today, ask boldly. Salvation is tied to His face shining upon you, and in Christ, it already has.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
