Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla – June 4, 2025

“The Folly of Nostalgia” – Ecclesiastes 7:10–12 (ESV)

Do you ever find yourself saying, “Things were better in the old days”? In today’s devotion, Pastor Balla explores Solomon’s warning against nostalgia in Ecclesiastes 7:10–12. Looking back with longing often blinds us to God’s present grace and faithfulness. True wisdom does not dwell in the past—it walks with Christ today.

Solomon reminds us that while both wisdom and wealth offer protection, only wisdom preserves life because it is rooted in God. Christian wisdom looks forward in hope and lives anchored in the unchanging promises of Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Join Pastor Balla as he contrasts nostalgia with biblical faith and shows how wisdom in Christ equips us to live each day with confidence, contentment, and joy in the Lord.
