In this episode of the Mighty Oaks Daily Devotional, Jeremy Stalnecker continues through Psalm 1 by explaining what a truly blessed life looks like according to Scripture.

Today’s devotional points us to a practical, guiding principle found in Galatians 6:10, a “back pocket” verse for moments when we’re unsure how to act. Scripture reminds us that when we have the opportunity, we are called to do good to all people, showing kindness, meeting needs, and encouraging others whenever we can. While we’re especially called to care for fellow believers, this verse challenges us to reflect God’s love broadly and intentionally, particularly in everyday and sometimes uncomfortable situations where simple obedience can make an eternal impact.

Today’s devotional looks at Jesus’ clear call in Matthew 16:24 and reminds us that while the Christian life is filled with incredible blessings, it is not meant to be an easy or self-centered life. Jesus teaches that true discipleship requires denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and following Him. The Christian life is not about comfort or personal gain, but about living sacrificially for the sake of others and reflecting Christ to the world. Following Jesus means embracing hard obedience, trusting His example, and walking faithfully in His steps.

Today’s devotional simply and powerfully revisits the heart of the Christmas story in Luke 2:8. The angel’s announcement to the shepherds declares good tidings of great joy, the birth of a Savior, Christ the Lord. In this moment, heaven proclaims peace and goodwill made possible because God sent His Son. Christmas reminds us that true peace is not found in circumstances, but in the Savior who came so we could be reconciled to God and live in the hope of His grace.

Today’s devotional reminds us that the themes we often associate with Christmas, hope, joy, and peace, are not meant to be manufactured by a season or circumstances. Romans 15:13 teaches that true joy and peace come from confident assurance in who God is and what He has done for us through Christ. As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, we’re reminded that real hope is found in Him, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can experience lasting joy and peace no matter the season.

Today’s devotional reminds us why we exchange gifts at Christmas, because they point to the greatest gift ever given. Romans 6:23 explains the sobering reality that the wages of sin is death, but it also reveals the hope of the gospel: “the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Christmas is the celebration of a gift we did not earn and did not deserve, given by God because we needed salvation. Jesus came to pay the price for our sin and make forgiveness and eternal life possible through Him.

As we enter the Christmas season, today’s devotional reminds us that Christmas is more than the celebration of a baby’s birth, it is the celebration of our Savior. In John 14:6, Jesus declares that He is “the way, the truth, and the life,” revealing why His birth mattered so deeply. Christmas had to happen so that Easter could happen. Jesus came from heaven to earth, took on human flesh, and lived among us so that He could die in our place and make a way for us to be reconciled to God. Christmas is the celebration of the Savior we needed, who came to give us life.

Today’s devotional answers a foundational question: How do we know God loves us? In 1 John 4:9, Scripture tells us that God’s love wasn’t just spoken, it was demonstrated. God made His love unmistakably clear by sending His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In a world full of uncertainty, this truth remains unchanging: God proved His love through action, giving Jesus to restore our relationship with Him and secure our hope.

Today’s devotional centers on 1 Peter 5:7 and speaks directly to those carrying anxiety, fear, and the weight of uncertainty. Scripture invites us to cast every care on Jesus, not as a cliché, but because He genuinely cares for us. The same Savior who left heaven, took our sin, and died in our place invites us to bring our burdens to Him in prayer. When anxiety presses in, we’re reminded that we don’t carry it alone. We can trust the One who loves us and holds our future.

Today’s devotional looks at Joshua 1:9, where God commands Joshua to be strong and courageous as he steps into an overwhelming calling. Facing uncertainty, fear, and the weight of leadership, Joshua is reminded that courage isn’t rooted in confidence in ourselves, but in the presence of God. When God calls us to take the next step, even when we can’t see how it will work out, He promises to be with us wherever we go. Courage grows when we trust the One who leads us forward.

Today’s devotional looks at Ephesians 4:22 and the biblical pattern for real change in the Christian life. Scripture teaches that freedom from sin and destructive habits requires more than just cutting things out, we must also replace them with what God intends. Paul explains that growth happens when we put off the old way of living, renew our minds through God’s truth, and intentionally put on the new life created in righteousness and holiness. This process takes effort and obedience, but it leads to lasting victory and transformation.

Today’s devotional challenges us with James 1:22, reminding us that spiritual maturity requires more than hearing God’s Word, it demands living it out. Scripture warns that when we hear the truth but don’t act on it, we deceive ourselves. Genuine faith transforms how we think, speak, work, and treat others. This verse invites us to pause and evaluate whether our lives reflect what we say we believe, calling us to be doers of the Word in every part of life.

Today’s devotional reflects on Paul’s words in Philippians 3:13, where he declares his commitment to stop looking back and instead reach forward toward what God has called him to. Paul acknowledged he hadn’t “arrived,” but he was determined to pursue the prize of God’s high calling with focus, purpose, and forward momentum. This passage reminds us to release the weight of the past, invest fully in the present, and live each moment in pursuit of a life that glorifies God.

Today’s devotional focuses on 2 Corinthians 5:17 and the truth that when we come to Christ, God doesn’t simply patch up our old broken pieces. He makes us entirely new. Scripture says the old has passed away and all things have become new. Through the Holy Spirit, we receive a new heart, a new mind, and a new way of seeing and experiencing the world. You’re not a repaired version of your past; you are a completely remade creation. Walk confidently in the new life God has given you.

Today’s devotional from Isaiah 43:18–19 reminds us that no matter how hopeless our circumstances may feel, God is not limited by what we see, what we've tried, or what we’ve failed at. He calls us to stop looking back and trust that He is able to do something new, something only He can do. When life feels like a wilderness or a desert, God promises to make a way forward and provide exactly what we need, even bringing “rivers in the desert” to sustain us as He leads us into His plan.
