Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla – May 29, 2025
“The Tragedy of Hoarding” – Ecclesiastes 5:13–17 (ESV)
In today’s devotion, Pastor Balla reflects on the “grievous evil” of hoarding wealth. Solomon reveals how clinging to riches can bring not security, but ruin. Hoarded wealth may vanish through misfortune, leaving the hoarder empty-handed and alone. “Just as he came, so shall he go”—a sobering truth for all who put trust in earthly treasure.
This devotion invites us to consider the spiritual danger of placing hope in possessions rather than in God. The one who toils for the wind finds only vexation; the one who trusts in Christ gains eternal riches.
Join Pastor Balla for a biblical meditation on the fleeting nature of wealth and the enduring value of God’s grace in Christ.
