COT:
Obedience to God isn’t always easy. Sometimes it means trusting Him when the outcome is uncertain.
In 1 Samuel 15:22, the prophet Samuel tells Saul:
“To obey is better than sacrifice.”
God isn’t just looking for good intentions or religious activity—He’s looking for hearts that trust Him enough to follow His direction.
Real obedience often shows up in small, everyday decisions:
– Choosing integrity when no one is watching
– Showing patience when you’re frustrated
– Loving people when it’s inconvenient
Obedience isn’t about perfection. It’s about surrender.
And the truth is, when we obey God, we’re not losing freedom—we’re stepping into the life He designed for us.
At the edge of obedience we find joy.

Think about:
Is there something God has been prompting you to do that you’ve been putting off? Obedience might feel uncomfortable in the moment, but it always leads to something better.

COT: Thank you for allowing me to serve this AO. It is a special group of men. Windex will do good things!!!

Paul’s prayer to the Colossians seemed fitting for this group as well.

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬
“so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.”

COT:
“Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬-‭27‬ ‭NLT‬‬
How does physical discipline strengthen spiritual credibility?
In a lot of ways. It becomes “Muscle memory”. Hard to doubt your own spiritual credibility when you’ve been in the word and praying for years now.
