In this Daily Devotion for September 25, 2026, Pastor David Balla walks through Psalm 81:16, God's promise of the finest wheat and honey from the rock, abundance that could only come from Him, never manufactured through human labor or planning. Israel missed it for one simple reason. They turned away from receiving it.This devotion carries that abundance forward to Jesus, who called Himself the bread of life, offering nourishment that satisfies far beyond wheat or honey. At His Table, you receive Him truly, His own body and blood, the finest food any sinner could be given, offered freely and completely. There we find true grace, forgiveness, and salvation, ready and waiting regardless of your own past stubbornness. Through His redemption we are welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven, and in the Lord's Supper that same abundance is placed into your hands, given for the forgiveness of sins.Do not measure your life by scarcity today. Come instead to the abundance already prepared in Christ. He still satisfies completely. He always 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

In this Daily Devotion for September 24, 2026, Pastor David Balla walks through Psalm 81:13-15, a lament from God Himself, wishing His people would simply listen and receive what He was already offering freely. It was never a bargain requiring obedience first, but a gift refused only by stubbornness that chose something lesser instead.

This devotion applies that same pattern to how people resist the good news today. God is not reluctantly offering salvation, waiting to see whether anyone will earn it first. In Christ, the gift is already fully prepared, already fully paid for, already fully offered. There we find true grace, forgiveness, and salvation, ready and available to anyone willing to receive it. Through His redemption we are welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven, and in the Lord's Supper that same freely given gift is placed into our hands again, His true body and blood, for the forgiveness of sins.

Hear this lament today as an invitation, not a complaint aimed at someone else. Whatever ways you have walked instead of His, God's wish over you remains the same. Everything you need is already His to give.

In this Daily Devotion for September 23, 2026, Pastor David Balla walks through Psalm 81:10-12, where God grounds a wide open invitation, open your mouth wide, and I will fill it, in a deliverance already accomplished. Grace comes before instruction. Yet stubborn hearts refused it, choosing their own counsels instead.

This devotion carries that invitation to the Table, where Jesus Himself gives you His true body and blood, not a symbol pointing to something absent, but His real presence given for the forgiveness of your sins. There we find true grace, forgiveness, and salvation, offered generously to anyone willing to receive it rather than earned by following our own counsel. Through His redemption we are welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven, and in the Lord's Supper we open our mouths wide, receiving what only He can give.

Consider your own heart today. Are you approaching God ready to receive what He generously offers, or quietly following your own stubborn counsel instead? He has already proven Himself faithful. Come to Him ready to be filled completely.
