Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for January 27, 2026

This daily Christian devotion reflects on Psalm 41:13 (ESV), the closing doxology of Book One of the Psalms. After lament, betrayal, confession, and prayer, David ends not with himself, but with God. “Blessed be the Lord” is the final confession of faith—praise that rests not on changing circumstances, but on the unchanging faithfulness of God.

Calling Him “the God of Israel” anchors this praise in God’s covenant mercy. He is the Lord who binds Himself to His people with promises and remains faithful from generation to generation. The phrase “from everlasting to everlasting” lifts our eyes beyond present trials to the eternal constancy of God. Our days rise and fall, but the Lord remains the same.

The double “Amen” is a strong confession of trust. It declares certainty, not wishful thinking. For Christians, this confidence is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is the faithful “Yes” to all of God’s promises. Because Christ lives, praise has the final word, even in the midst of suffering.

This Christ-centered Lutheran devotion invites believers to end their days, and their prayers, the same way David ends this psalm—with doxology. Whatever the day has held, the Lord remains worthy of blessing.
