The More Excellent Way

Today’s Passage
1 Corinthians 13:1-3

Highlighted Verse
1 Corinthians 13:2

“And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.”

At the end of chapter 12, Paul reminds the Corinthians that every believer is an important part of the body of Christ. He encourages them to earnestly desire the gifts that build up the church, but then he adds these words:

“And yet I show you a more excellent way.”

Before Paul describes what love looks like, he first explains why it matters.

He begins with a striking picture. Without love, even the most eloquent words become nothing more than noise. Then Paul raises the bar. The greatest gifts, the deepest knowledge, the strongest faith, and even the greatest sacrifice are empty without love.

Paul isn’t diminishing the gifts. He’s showing that love is what gives them their purpose.

Without love, words become noise. Gifts become empty. Sacrifice becomes profitless.

God isn’t simply looking at what we do. He sees the heart from which our words, our service, and our sacrifice flow.

Let’s Pray,

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us first and for showing us the more excellent way.

Search our hearts and reveal anything that is driven by pride, selfish ambition, or the desire to be noticed. Fill us with a genuine love for You and for others, so that our words, our service, and our sacrifice are shaped by the love You have shown us.

May our lives build up the body of Christ and bring honor and glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Security of Wisdom

Today’s Passage
Proverbs 4:18-27

Highlighted Verse
Proverbs 4:23

“Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.”

Most of us pay attention to the big decisions in life.

The direction we want to go. The opportunities we pursue. The goals we hope to accomplish.

What we often overlook are the things that shape those decisions long before they are ever made.

In Proverbs 4, Solomon is speaking to his son about wisdom. Throughout the opening chapters of Proverbs, he repeatedly urges his son to seek wisdom, pursue understanding, and listen carefully to instruction.

Why?

Because the fool sees no need for wisdom, but the wise person recognizes how desperately he needs it.

As the passage unfolds, we begin to see why that matters.

Solomon speaks about the heart, the mouth, the eyes, and the path of our feet in the same conversation because he is showing his son how wisdom shapes a life.

When God’s truth is treasured in the heart, it begins affecting everything else. It influences our speech, guides our focus, and helps direct our steps. One thing affects another until wisdom becomes more than something we know—it becomes the path we walk.

Wisdom does more than help us react to life’s decisions. It teaches us to ask better questions before those decisions are ever made. It helps us recognize influences, opportunities, and directions that may look good on the surface but lead us away from what matters most.

Perhaps that is why Solomon describes the way of the wicked as darkness and says they do not even know what makes them stumble.

What a contrast.

The wise person learns to pay attention to the things that are shaping his life before he ever reaches that point.

That is the security found in wisdom. Not that we will live perfectly, but that God’s wisdom helps us walk in the light, recognize dangers along the path, and follow the direction that leads to life.

Let’s Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us Your wisdom through Your Word and Your Spirit. Help us to recognize our need for Your guidance and give us a growing desire for wisdom and understanding. Teach us to listen carefully to Your truth and allow it to take root in our hearts.

Give us wisdom to recognize the influences, habits, and attitudes that are shaping our lives. When You reveal something that is leading us in the wrong direction, give us the humility to receive correction and the courage to make the changes that need to be made.

Guard our hearts, guide our focus, direct our steps, and help us walk in the path of wisdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

How Much More

Today’s Passage
Matthew 7:7-12

Highlighted Verse
Matthew 7:11b

“How much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”

Most of us have had someone in our life we knew we could call when we needed help.

Maybe it was a father, grandfather, mentor, or trusted friend. When a question came up, a problem arose, or life felt overwhelming, we knew they would take our call. We weren’t afraid to ask because we trusted they cared about us and wanted what was best for us.

Life has a way of reminding us how often we need that kind of help. Questions arise. Decisions have to be made. Sometimes we know exactly what to do, and sometimes we don’t. And even when we think we know the answer, there is just something comforting about talking it through with someone we trust.

In Matthew 7, Jesus invites us into that same kind of relationship with our heavenly Father.

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”

Jesus is not simply teaching us how to pray. He is helping us see the heart of the Father we are praying to.

If a child asks his father for bread, he is not given a stone. If he asks for a fish, he is not handed a serpent. A loving father provides what his child needs.

Then Jesus says:

“How much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”

The longer you walk with the Lord, the more you begin to understand those words. Some things you once thought were needs turn out to be wants, and some of God’s greatest gifts arrive in ways you never expected.

Yet through it all, you discover that your Father can be trusted.

That is why we can ask, seek, and knock with confidence. Not because we always know what we need, but because our Father does.

Let’s Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for inviting us to come to You. Thank You that we never have to face life’s questions, burdens, and uncertainties alone.

Help us to trust Your heart even when we do not understand Your answers. When we are tempted to worry, carry our burdens alone, or lean on our own understanding, remind us to come to You.

And when we are hesitant to bring something before You, help us remember how much more. How much more You love us. How much more You care for us. How much more You can be trusted.

Teach us to rest in Your care and trust You more each day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Pure Words

Today’s Passage
Psalm 12

Highlighted Verse
Psalm 12:6

“The words of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.”

Every now and then you meet someone whose words carry a little extra weight.

Not because they’re louder than everyone else. Not because they always tell you what you want to hear. But because over time you’ve learned they mean what they say.

Those kinds of people are refreshing because their words and their character match.

And on the other side of the coin, we’ve also experienced the disappointment of discovering that someone’s words carried more confidence than truth. The words sounded right, but eventually we discovered they weren’t who we thought they were.

David felt that tension too. As he looked around, he saw flattering lips and double hearts. People were saying one thing and meaning another. Their words sounded good, but they were empty.

That is what makes Psalm 12:6 shine so brightly.

“The words of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.”

David is painting a beautiful picture for us. He compares God’s words to silver that has been refined until every impurity has been removed, meaning God’s words are completely trustworthy.

The longer you walk with the Lord, the more you begin to understand what David is describing. God is holy, faithful, and true. There is no impurity in Him, and there is no impurity in His words.

What He promises, He does. What He says, He means.

Psalm 12 reminds us that while the words of people often fail us, the words of God never will. That truth gave David confidence to trust the Lord even when everything around him seemed uncertain.

Let’s Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You are holy, faithful, and true. In a world filled with changing opinions, broken promises, and uncertain circumstances, thank You for being the firm foundation we can trust completely. Thank You that Your words are pure and that Your promises never fail.

Help us to listen to Your voice above all others and teach us to trust You more each day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Seeing Clearly

Today’s Passage
Matthew 7:1-6

Highlighted Verse
“Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭5‬

Few things come more naturally than noticing what someone else is doing wrong.

We see their impatience, their pride, and their mistakes with surprising clarity. Yet one of the greatest dangers in the Christian life is becoming an expert on everyone else’s faults while remaining blind to our own.

Most of us are familiar with the picture of the plank and the speck. A man is focused on a tiny speck in his brother’s eye while somehow missing the plank in his own.

The illustration becomes uncomfortable when we realize how easy it is to identify problems in other people while overlooking similar struggles in ourselves.

Sometimes the faults that bother us most in others are the very things God is trying to address in our own hearts.

The problem isn’t that the brother has a speck. The speck is real. The brother truly needs help. The problem is trying to help while remaining blind to our own need.

Jesus warns that the standard we use for others has a way of exposing our own hearts as well. It is easy to extend grace to ourselves while demanding accountability from everyone else. It is much harder to welcome the same honest examination into our own lives.

David modeled that kind of humility throughout the Psalms. He recognized evil when he saw it, yet he continually asked God to search him, test him, and reveal anything that was out of place.

Before we can see clearly enough to help others, we must be willing to let God search our own hearts first.

When we allow God to correct us, we are often able to help others with greater grace, patience, and compassion because we remember how much grace He has shown us.

The passage ends with a reminder that humility and discernment belong together. The speck is still there, and the brother still matters. Yet not every person is seeking wisdom, and not every situation calls for correction. Some moments call for speaking, while others call for patience, prayer, and restraint.

The goal is not becoming an expert on everyone else’s faults. The goal is becoming the kind of person God can trust to help a brother well.

Let’s Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your patience and grace toward us. Help us to be humble enough to receive Your correction and teachable enough to grow from it. Search our hearts, reveal anything that is out of place, and help us walk in wisdom, humility, and discernment. Give us grace when helping others and wisdom to know when to speak and when to remain silent. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord, help me keep my eyes wide open to my own heart before I try to help someone else.

Faithful in Every Season

Today’s Passage
Psalm 34

Highlighted verse
Psalm 34:18

“The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.”

One of the things I appreciate most about David is that he never pretended to have it all together. When he was afraid, overwhelmed, or needed help, he cried out to the Lord.

Throughout Psalm 34, David keeps reminding us of the same truth: the Lord hears, the Lord delivers, and the Lord saves.

That gives you the sense that David had learned something through years of walking with the Lord. That life isn’t free from fears, troubles, or afflictions, but God is always faithful in the middle of them.

That is what makes verse 18 so comforting.

“The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.”

Life brings fears, troubles, and afflictions to every one of us. Yet those troubles never have the final word.

The Lord remains near to His people through them all. He hears us when we cry out to Him, strengthens us when we are weary, and remains faithful through every season of life.

Troubles come and go, but the faithfulness of God remains.

Let’s Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for being a God who hears, saves, and remains near to Your people. Help us to bring our fears, burdens, and struggles to You instead of carrying them alone. Teach us to trust You more each day and to rest in the comfort of Your faithful presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord, help me remember that I never face life’s troubles alone.

Today marked the first workday of our new season — Season 11! 🎉🦌

We started the day cleaning up camp. A few trees came down during the storms this past week, so we spent some time cutting them up and hauling them off so we could gather around the fire pit for our morning devotional.

Today’s lesson came from Matthew 6:19-34, which was also today’s daily devotional.

As we worked through the passage, we saw how Jesus connects treasure, focus, service, and worry.

The things we treasure most have a way of capturing our attention. Over time, those things begin to influence our decisions and priorities. Before long, they can begin to master us without us even realizing it. That is why Jesus reminds us that no one can serve two masters.

It is no surprise that Jesus then begins talking about worry. When our hope is tied to temporary things, we naturally worry about losing them. Our joy rises and falls with our circumstances because our treasure is tied to them.

But Jesus doesn’t simply tell us to stop worrying. He redirects our hearts:

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” — Matthew 6:33

When God’s kingdom becomes our treasure, our focus changes. When our focus changes, our priorities change. When our priorities change, we learn to trust God with tomorrow instead of being consumed by worry today.

For a deeper look at this passage, be sure to read today’s CCO Daily Devotional.

Other tasks for the day included:

• Cutting trees out of the roadway
• Riding around and inspecting the property as they have cut most of the timber this year.

The clear cut is going to change a lot of things, so we spent some time evaluating the property and discussing new possibilities for the upcoming season.

We’ll be back at it again next week and will continue workdays all the way til September as we prepare for another deer season.

Thank you to all of our amazing supporters! Please consider becoming a Deer Season Sponsor for our 2026 season. We are excited about what God has in store and believe Season 11 is going to be a great one!

What Has Your Heart?

Today’s Passage
Matthew 6:19-34

Photo verse Matthew 6:33

In Matthew 6, Jesus is teaching us a valuable lesson about the heart.

He begins by talking about treasure. The things we value most have a way of pulling our hearts toward them. That is why Jesus tells us to lay up treasures in heaven. He is teaching us to invest our lives in things that have eternal value rather than things that will one day pass away.

The things of this world may have value for a season, but they cannot last forever. Careers, accomplishments, possessions, hobbies, and recreation can become misplaced treasures if we allow them to take God’s rightful place in our hearts. But the treasures that have eternal value are Christ, His kingdom, His Word, and the people we invest in for His glory.

What we treasure affects what captures our attention. If our hearts are fixed on earthly things, those things often become our focus. But when our hearts are fixed on God and His kingdom, it changes how we see everything else.

And that is why no one can serve two masters. Whatever has our hearts and our attention will eventually influence our decisions, and before long it can begin to master us without us even realizing it.

It is no surprise that Jesus eventually talks about worry. When our hope is tied to temporary things, we naturally worry about losing them. Our joy begins to rise and fall with our circumstances because our treasure is tied to them. But when our treasure is in Christ and His kingdom, we can trust Him with tomorrow because our treasure is secure.

As you read this section, Jesus seems to keep bringing us back to the same question:

What has your heart?

That can be an uncomfortable question, but it’s one worth asking. It invites us to honestly examine what we treasure, what captures our attention, and what is shaping our lives.

Jesus is not merely teaching about money, possessions, or anxiety. He is helping us examine what we truly value, pursue, and trust.

That is why He ends by saying:

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”

Let’s Pray

Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us that the things of this world are temporary, but Your kingdom is eternal. Help us to treasure You above everything else and to keep our hearts focused on what matters most. Protect us from allowing temporary things to pull our attention away from You. Teach us to seek first Your kingdom, trust You with tomorrow, and find our joy in Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Keep Showing Up

Today’s Passage
Hebrews 11:1-6

Highlighted Verse
Hebrews 11:6

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

Nobody expects to become a skilled fisherman, hunter, or athlete overnight.

The people who excel in those things have usually spent years learning, practicing, making mistakes, and growing along the way.

Some learned from others, while others were mostly self-taught.

But they all have something in common.

They kept learning.

They kept showing up.

They kept seeking knowledge and understanding.

Yet many of us become discouraged when spiritual growth doesn’t happen as quickly as we hoped.

We read our Bible for a few days and wonder why everything hasn’t changed.

We pray for a short time and wonder why we don’t feel closer to God.

We struggle with the same temptation and begin to think we aren’t growing at all.

But growth rarely happens overnight.

That is true in life, and it is often true in our walk with God.

Hebrews 11:6 reminds us that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Notice what the verse does not say.

It doesn’t say God rewards those who understand everything or never struggle.

It says He rewards those who diligently seek Him.

When you read the rest of Hebrews 11, you don’t find perfect people.

You find people who kept trusting God.

Noah kept building.

Abraham kept following.

Moses kept believing.

They didn’t always know how everything would turn out, but they continued to walk by faith.

The same is true for us.

Keep showing up.

Keep opening God’s Word.

Keep praying.

Keep seeking Him.

Over time, God often does things in our hearts that we cannot see day by day, but one day we look back and realize He was growing us all along.

Let’s Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for being faithful even when we grow impatient. Help us not to become discouraged when growth seems slow. Give us a desire to keep seeking You through Your Word, through prayer, and through obedience.

Surround us with faithful believers who encourage us to keep seeking You. Give us humble hearts that are willing to learn, teachable spirits that receive wise counsel, and friends who will encourage us when we grow weary and lovingly tell us the truth when we need it.

Teach us to walk by faith and trust that You are at work even when we cannot see it. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflection

If you haven’t seen the growth you expected, don’t lose heart. Keep showing up. Keep seeking the Lord. The God who rewards those who diligently seek Him is often doing more than we can see in the moment.
