In this Daily Devotion for September 20, 2026, Pastor David Balla walks through Psalm 81:1-3, an unrestrained call to worship, tambourine, lyre, harp, and trumpet, all sounding together on Israel's appointed feast days. This loud, festive worship was rooted in specific memory, remembering God's real, historical rescue out of Egypt.

This devotion carries that same pattern into worship today. Joyful singing is never meant to float free from remembering what God has actually done. Christians gather, especially around the Lord's Supper, not merely to feel something for a moment, but to remember and receive again the real deliverance God has accomplished through Jesus. There we find true grace, forgiveness, and salvation, given through His finished work rather than manufactured feeling. Through His redemption we are welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven, and in that Supper we receive His true body and blood, truly given for the forgiveness of sins.

When you gather for worship, whether at church or quietly at home, let your voice reflect what you are remembering. God our strength has acted decisively in Christ, rescuing you completely. That truth deserves a song raised aloud.
