Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 20, 2026. "You Hold My Right Hand" opens Psalm 73:22-24 (ESV) with one of the most breathtaking reversals in all of Scripture — a man who confesses he was brutish and ignorant as a beast before God, only to discover in the very next breath that God had been holding onto him the whole time anyway. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how that single word "nevertheless" carries the whole gospel — and how those six words, "you hold my right hand," reveal that God's grip on us, not ours on Him, is what keeps us safe. Jesus came for confused, envious, embarrassed people exactly like the man in this psalm, took hold at the cross when sin was doing its worst, and never let go. Your standing with Him has never been about your insight or your grip strength — it is about His hand around yours, guiding you now and bringing you all the way home to glory. This Bible devotion brings deep comfort to anyone feeling more brutish than brilliant today. Perfect for morning devotion, personal prayer, or daily Bible study.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 19, 2026. "Like a Dream When One Awakes" opens Psalm 73:19-21 (ESV) with one of Scripture's most arresting images — the wicked, who looked so solid and untouchable, turning out to be nothing more than a dream God shakes off the moment He rouses Himself. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how eternity has a way of showing what was truly solid and what was only mist all along — and how Jesus, who died and rose again, has already stood in eternity's vantage point and come back to tell us what is really true. Death itself, the thing that looks most permanent and final, is no more lasting than a dream once God acts — and your sin, your guilt, everything that once stood against you was buried in that tomb and stays there. What Jesus accomplished is the one thing in this life that is not a dream. This Bible devotion speaks directly to anyone holding this world's comforts or troubles too tightly.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 18, 2026. "Until I Went into the Sanctuary of God" opens Psalm 73:16-18 (ESV) with the turning point of the entire psalm — not a better argument, not harder thinking, but a single phrase that changes everything: until I went into the sanctuary of God. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how the psalmist's fog lifted not through isolated reasoning but through going to where God had promised to be found — among His gathered people, under His Word — and how that same promise holds for you today in the Word read and preached, the water of Baptism, and the bread and wine where Jesus gives His true body and blood to ordinary people through ordinary means. When your own reasoning runs out and doubt won't budge, the answer isn't to think harder alone — it's to go where Jesus promised to meet you. He's still there, still giving Himself away.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 17, 2026. "All in Vain I Have Kept My Heart Clean" opens Psalm 73:13-15 (ESV) with one of the most painfully honest cries in all of Scripture — the exhausted complaint of someone who tried hard to be good and still got stricken every morning, wondering if faithfulness counts for anything at all. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how the psalmist's crisis reveals a foundation built on personal performance rather than God's promises — and how the gospel breaks in to rescue him and us, pointing to Jesus whose heart really was clean and whose hands really were innocent, struck down in our place so that our daily struggles are never again read as God rejecting us. Your standing before God was never a scorecard you were keeping — it is His gift, finished and freely given. This Bible devotion brings relief to anyone who has ever felt that faithfulness was getting them nowhere. Perfect for morning devotion, personal prayer, or daily Bible study.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 16, 2026. "How Can God Know?" opens Psalm 73:10-12 (ESV) with one of the sneakiest forms of unbelief there is — not outright denial of God, but the quiet assumption that He isn't watching closely enough to notice. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how this doubt never stays private, how it shapes behavior in ordinary moments, and how the only reliable answer to "how can God know?" is not found in circumstances or feelings but in what God has actually said and done — sending His own Son to live, die, and rise again as the unmistakable proof that He was watching all along, watching closely enough to do something about it at Calvary. This Bible devotion brings honest conviction and steady gospel comfort to anyone whose faith quietly wonders if God is really paying attention.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 15, 2026. "Their Mouths Against the Heavens" opens Psalm 73:7-9 (ESV) with a wave that builds from swollen eyes and foolish hearts all the way to a tongue that struts through the earth and sets itself against God — the inevitable destination of unchecked comfort and presumed impunity. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how sin rarely stays hidden, how God's patience gets mistaken for God's absence, and how every one of us has, in some smaller way, set our own mouths against heaven — making the good news of Jesus all the more remarkable. Christ never once opened His mouth against heaven, and He gives that perfect record to you as a gift, taking on the cross the judgment your words actually deserved so that your mouth is now free for something entirely different — thanksgiving and praise.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 14, 2026. "No Pangs Until Death" opens Psalm 73:4-6 (ESV) with an uncomfortable truth — the wicked seem untouched by trouble, strong, comfortable, and at ease, while their very ease produces pride worn like jewelry and violence worn like clothing. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how outward ease has never been the measure of God's favor, and how Jesus — the only truly innocent man who ever lived — proves the opposite pattern entirely, taking the hard road on purpose, carrying trouble not as a sign of God's rejection but as the means of dealing with our sin once and for all. Don't measure God's love by your circumstances, good or hard — measure it by the cross, where He already told you everything you need to know about how much you matter to Him.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 13, 2026. "Truly God Is Good" opens Psalm 73:1-3 (ESV) with one of the most honest confessions in all of Scripture — an anchor dropped before the storm hits, as the psalmist admits his feet nearly slipped because the wicked seemed to prosper while faithfulness seemed to cost him everything. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how real trust holds onto God's goodness with one hand and honest confusion with the other, bringing both to the same God who isn't afraid of either one — and how the clearest proof of God's goodness is never our circumstances lining up, but Jesus, given for us at the cross when we had nothing good to offer and everything to be forgiven for.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 12, 2026. "The Prayers of David the Son of Jesse Are Ended" reflects on Psalm 72:20 (ESV) — one plain, quiet sentence that closes a collection of prayers without fanfare, and speaks directly to every believer who has ever run out of words. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how David's prayers ending is not the end of the story, because another Son of David came — Jesus — who prayed perfectly, who said not "I've run dry" but "It is finished," completing everything David ever hoped for when he cried out to God. When your own prayers run out of words, you have a Savior who took up where every human prayer falls short, who intercedes for you even now, and who has already spoken the ending that matters most over your life — paid for, forgiven, His.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 11, 2026. "Blessed Be the Lord the God of Israel" closes Psalm 72:18-19 (ESV) with the only ending the psalm could ever have — pure, overflowing praise to the God who alone does wondrous things. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how that word alone carries the full weight of the gospel — nobody else gets credit, nobody helped, and nobody can add a single thing to what Christ finished at the cross for your salvation. And the wondrous things are still happening — in the Baptism that holds you today, and in the true body and true blood of Jesus, truly and really present in, with, and under the bread and wine, filling the earth with His glory one ordinary sinner at a time. This Bible devotion invites anyone carrying a burden to set it down next to this verse and simply say thank you. Perfect for morning devotion, personal prayer, or daily Bible study.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 10, 2026. "Long May He Live" opens Psalm 72:15-17 (ESV) with a prayer that no earthly king can ever fully answer — but Jesus Christ answers completely and eternally, the same yesterday, today, and forever, alive forevermore because death itself could not hold Him. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how the abundance, blossoming life, and enduring name described in this psalm point to the new creation Christ purchased with His own blood — and how every Lord's Supper, where His true body and true blood are truly and really present in, with, and under the bread and wine, is a foretaste of that overflowing abundance already placed in your hands by the King Himself. This Bible devotion reminds us that the name above all names will never fade, because He first blessed every nation by taking their sin, death, and condemnation upon Himself at the cross.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 9, 2026. "For He Delivers the Needy When He Calls" opens Psalm 72:12-14 (ESV) with words that should stop every reader cold — precious is their blood in his sight — the language not of politics but of redemption, pointing us directly to Jesus Christ. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how the pattern of Christ's entire ministry fulfills this psalm exactly — the blind beggar, the leper, the desperate woman — and how Jesus went all the way to the cross to accomplish what no earthly king could, redeeming sinners from sin, death, and the devil at infinite cost. That same precious blood is not a distant memory — it is truly and really present in the cup of the Lord's Supper, delivered to His people by the King's own hand.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 8, 2026. "May He Have Dominion from Sea to Sea" opens Psalm 72:8-11 (ESV) with a vision of universal, absolute, eternal dominion that no earthly king has ever come close to fulfilling — and that belongs entirely to Jesus Christ, Lord of lords and King of kings. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how the Wise Men bowing at Bethlehem was the psalm beginning to come true, how Christ won His universal dominion not by conquest but by bearing the sin of every nation at the cross and walking out of the grave on the third day — and how this same King of all nations stoops to feed His people with His own body and blood in, with, and under the bread and wine of the Lord's Supper. This Bible devotion reminds us that the One before whom all kings will bow bears the marks of nails in His hands. Perfect for morning devotion, personal prayer, or daily Bible study.

This Bible study continues an in-depth examination of prayer by focusing on the importance of humility, private fellowship with God, and developing a consistent, meaningful prayer life. Using Matthew 6:5-13 as the primary text, the lesson contrasts genuine prayer with the prideful, outward displays of religion that Jesus condemned. The study begins by identifying pride as one of the greatest enemies of effective prayer. Jesus warned against praying merely to be seen or heard by others, reminding His followers that those who seek the approval of people have already received their reward. True prayer is not about impressing others but about humbly approaching God with a heart that recognizes complete dependence upon Him. Believers are encouraged to examine their own hearts, lay aside pride, and remember the sacrifice of Christ on the cross as the greatest motivation for humility. The lesson also challenges the common misconception that prayer exists primarily to present God with a list of personal requests. Instead, prayer is presented as a relationship and ongoing conversation with the Heavenly Father. Jesus’ model prayer demonstrates that worship and praise should come before petitions. Prayer should begin by acknowledging God’s holiness, greatness, and sovereignty before bringing personal needs before Him. Worship is not limited to church services or singing but should become a central part of every private prayer. Another significant emphasis is the danger of prosperity and self-sufficiency. The lesson notes that when life becomes comfortable, people often become less dependent upon God. While many believers feel too busy to pray, the reality is that they are too busy not to pray. The study reminds us that compared to much of the world, most Americans enjoy tremendous material blessings, yet these blessings can quietly diminish our dependence upon the Lord if we are not careful. Prosperity often becomes an obstacle to spiritual growth when it replaces a daily reliance upon God. The heart of the lesson centers on Jesus’ command to “enter into thy closet” when praying. This private place represents intentional, uninterrupted time alone with God. Public prayer certainly has its place, but personal communion with the Lord cannot be replaced by praying in church or with family. The speaker explains that true intimacy with God is developed in private, where worship, confession, thanksgiving, and honest conversation take place without distraction or the desire to impress others. Drawing from personal testimony, the speaker shares how God answered a prayer for more time by allowing unexpected life changes that ultimately provided extended seasons of private fellowship with Him. Although the circumstances were difficult, they became the beginning of a deeper, life-changing prayer life. This testimony illustrates that God often answers prayers in unexpected ways and uses life’s challenges to draw His children into closer fellowship with Himself. The lesson also reminds believers that meaningful prayer requires time. While prayer does not have to be lengthy to be sincere, developing a close relationship with God cannot be rushed. Just as Jesus frequently withdrew to spend extended periods alone with the Father, believers are encouraged to establish regular times of private worship and communion with God. Finally, the study examines the Lord’s Prayer, not as a prayer to be repeated mechanically, but as a pattern for approaching God. Jesus teaches that prayer should begin with worship, acknowledging God’s holiness and kingdom before moving to personal requests. His example provides a framework that includes praise, submission to God’s will, dependence upon His daily provision, confession, forgiveness, and spiritual protection. Ultimately, this lesson reminds believers that effective prayer is built upon humility, sincere worship, and a personal relationship with God. Public expressions of faith can never replace private fellowship with the Father. As Christians spend intentional time alone with God, their dependence upon Him grows, their hearts become more aligned with His will, and prayer becomes not merely a religious duty but one of the greatest privileges of the Christian life.

For eleven weeks we've followed David's rise from humble shepherd to Israel's greatest king—but in 2 Samuel 11, everything changes. In this message, we examine David's affair with Bathsheba, his attempt to cover up his sin, and the devastating consequences that followed. More importantly, we discover that moral failure rarely happens overnight; it's often the result of a slow drift away from God's ways. This Bible study offers a sobering warning about unchecked lust, the dangers that often accompany success, and the importance of guarding our hearts long before temptation arrives. While David's story exposes the destructive power of sin, it also reminds us that repentance and redemption are still available to those who turn back to God.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 7, 2026. "May They Fear You While the Sun Endures" opens Psalm 72:5-7 (ESV) with a prayer that outlasts the sun and moon themselves — pointing us past every earthly king to Jesus Christ, whose kingdom has no end. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how the godly fear the psalmist prays for is not cowering terror but the deep, joyful reverence that flows from the gospel — and how the stunning image of rain falling on mown grass is nothing less than Christ Himself coming to the cut-down, the laid-low, and the stripped bare to bring life where there was only stubble.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 6, 2026. "Let the Mountains Bear Prosperity for the People" opens Psalm 72:3-4 (ESV) with a breathtaking vision of creation itself overflowing with righteousness under the rule of the one true King. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how this psalm's picture of the poor defended, the needy delivered, and the oppressor crushed finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ — who undoes the damage of sin from the inside out, and who continues to give Himself truly and really to His people in the Lord's Supper, His body and blood present in, with, and under the bread and wine. This Bible devotion reminds us that the King who will one day make the mountains bear prosperity has already paid for it at the cross and empty tomb.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 5, 2026. "Give the King Your Justice O God" opens Psalm 72:1-2 (ESV) with a prayer for a righteous king that no earthly ruler has ever fully answered — and points us forward to the One King who alone can bear its full weight. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how Solomon's psalm pushes past every imperfect throne to Christ the King — the royal Son who possesses perfect righteousness as His own eternal inheritance, who defends the poor not as political strategy but as the God drawn to the humble and needy, and who was Himself condemned unjustly so that the unjust could stand righteous before God. This Bible devotion reminds us that every prayer for true justice finds its ultimate answer not in any capitol building but in Jesus Christ.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 4, 2026. "I Will Also Praise You with the Harp" closes Psalm 71:22-24 (ESV) with full-throated, full-bodied praise rooted not in national celebration but in something far deeper — the faithfulness of the Holy One of Israel and the redemption of a soul bought back at infinite cost. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how the psalmist's shouting, singing, harp-playing joy flows directly from the gospel — a price was paid, a ransom was given, and that ransom was the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — July 3, 2026. "You Who Have Made Me See Many Troubles" opens Psalm 71:20-21 (ESV) with one of Scripture's most striking confessions — that God has been sovereign over every calamity, every hard chapter, and every depth of a human life. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how the psalmist's confidence in revival and restoration is grounded in resurrection language that points directly to Easter morning — Jesus going all the way down into death and being brought up again by God. Because Christ is risen, no trouble is wasted, no depth is final, and God's pattern of bringing life out of death is not a metaphor but a historical certainty.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — June 30, 2026. "O God Do Not Be Far from Me" opens Psalm 71:12-13 (ESV) with one of the most honest prayers in all of Scripture — a cry from a heart that feels God's distance but runs to Him anyway. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how the psalmist's prayer of faith in the face of accusation and hardship points us directly to Christ, who silenced every accusation against us through His death and resurrection. When Satan accuses and God seems far away, we do not point to our own goodness — we point to Jesus, whose blood has cleansed us from all sin.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — June 29, 2026. "Do Not Cast Me Off in the Time of Old Age" opens Psalm 71:9-11 (ESV) with one of Scripture's most tender prayers — a cry from weakness and aging that God will not forsake His people when their strength is spent. In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how the psalmist's enemies mistake suffering for divine abandonment, and how the cross of Christ forever answers that lie. Because Jesus was not abandoned in death but raised in victory, we know that God will not cast off His people in weakness, old age, or trial. This Bible devotion brings deep comfort to anyone aging, struggling with health, or feeling forgotten, reminding us that God's love is not based on what we can accomplish.

In this Lutheran daily devotional, Pastor Balla explores how the psalmist's puzzling life of faith points directly to Christ — rejected, crucified, yet risen — and how our identity rests not in the opinions of others but in God's declaration that we belong to Him.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla — June 27, 2026.

Revival starts when I stop letting my Past define Me, and this message goes straight to that truth. In this week's conversation on The Smith and Rowland Show, Alan and Rowland talk about what Revival really is, why shame loses ground when the Word of God speaks, and how Romans 4:17 points us back to God's power to call things that are not as though they were. This Bible study brings a clear warning and a clear hope. If I keep living by memory, failure, and old wounds, I will keep agreeing with the lowest version of myself. But when I let Scripture define my identity, I begin to see what God says about me in Christ. I am called righteous. I am called holy. I am called blameless. The message also draws a sharp line between Revival and awakening. Awakening is when the lost come to life in Christ. Revival is when believers wake up again, get fresh fire, and return to obedience, worship, and hunger for God. That difference matters, because the church cannot settle for routine religion when God is calling His people higher. You'll also hear a strong warning about spiritual warfare, identity, and the battle between what should be and what is. From Luke 4 to 1 Corinthians 2:9, this teaching points back to the Word, the Spirit, and the need to stop playing games with God. Revival begins in honesty, repentance, and a renewed mind. If you've felt weighed down by shame, disappointment, or self-condemnation, this message will point you back to the hope of the gospel. God still speaks a better word over Me, and His truth is still able to bring change. Watch this full teaching and ask the Lord to renew your mind, revive your heart, and call you back into His purpose. #Revival #Past #Faith #BibleStudy #TheSmithAndRowlandShow

The cursing of the fig tree stands out as Jesus' only miracle of destruction. Some reject this miracle as being beneath the Jesus we know. Did he really get so annoyed about not getting a fig that he would destroy the tree—even though he knew it wasn't the season for figs? Or is there a deeper lesson? This Bible teaching explores: • Why Jesus cursed the fig tree • Whether this was a "bad miracle" • The fig tree as a prophetic object lesson • The connection between fruitlessness and divine judgment • What this miracle reveals about faith and hypocrisy • The curse on creation and the age-of-the-earth debate • How Jesus used physical illustrations to communicate spiritual truth If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a 5-stars rating.
