Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla – June 3, 2025
“The Value of a Good Name” – Ecclesiastes 7:1–4 (ESV)
In today’s devotion, Pastor Balla reflects on the surprising wisdom of Ecclesiastes 7:1–4: mourning teaches the heart more than mirth ever could. Solomon declares that sorrow, not laughter, leads to wisdom—and that a good name, shaped by faith and humility, is more precious than wealth or outward beauty.
Through the lens of Christ, we understand this truth more fully. In Him, the day of death is not a loss but a gain—a peaceful homecoming for the believer. Mourning becomes a sacred space where hearts are refined and drawn closer to eternal realities.
Join Pastor Balla as he explores how godly sorrow, the name we bear in baptism, and the hope of resurrection bring meaning to life and death alike.
