Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for September 6, 2026

In this Daily Devotion for September 6, 2026, Pastor David Balla walks through Psalm 78:67-69, where God chooses the tribe of Judah over Ephraim, not because Judah had earned it, but entirely according to His own will and purpose, settled long before anyone had a chance to prove themselves worthy.This devotion traces that same sovereign choosing to Jesus, born from the line of Judah, and through Him, to us. You were not selected by God because you outperformed anyone else. You were chosen the same way Judah was chosen, entirely by grace, apart from any merit of your own. There we find true grace, forgiveness, and salvation, given rather than earned. Through His redemption we are welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven, the true and lasting sanctuary, and in the Lord's Supper that same undeserved love is placed into our hands again, His true body and blood given for the forgiveness of sins.Rest in that today. Your standing before God was never earned through your own strength. It was given, secured forever in Christ, where God has set His unshakable love.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
