Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla – June 7, 2025
“Wisdom’s Strength” – Ecclesiastes 7:19–22 (ESV)
Where does true strength come from? In today’s devotion, Pastor Balla reflects on Solomon’s teaching that wisdom is greater than the power of rulers. Yet no one is righteous—not even the wise—for “there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.”
This devotion explores the difference between worldly cleverness and godly wisdom—the kind grounded in the fear of the Lord and fulfilled in Christ. We are reminded not to take every word to heart, especially harsh ones, since we ourselves have spoken thoughtlessly. The wise are not without sin, but they repent, forgive, and rest in God’s mercy.
Join us as we consider the strength of wisdom that leads not to pride, but to grace and humility in Christ.
