Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for September 9, 2026

In this Daily Devotion for September 9, 2026, Pastor David Balla walks through Psalm 79:4-6, an honest cry from someone mocked and shamed on top of real loss. How long, O Lord, will you be angry forever? No polished language softens this question. Real faith asks it and lets it stand, rather than forcing a cheerfulness it does not feel.This devotion connects that cry to the cross, where Jesus asked why He had been forsaken, voicing real anguish rather than hiding it. Because He bore that anguish fully, you are never told to fake peace you do not feel. There we find true grace, forgiveness, and salvation, because His anger against sin was already fully satisfied at the cross for everyone who believes. Through His redemption we are welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven, and in the Lord's Supper He meets our honest questions again, giving His true body and blood for the forgiveness of sins.You are invited to bring your own honest how long questions to Him, trusting that He hears them, and that His justice and mercy have already met completely in Christ.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
