Reading: Psalm 1:1-3; Joshua 1:8

Devotional: Peace isn't passive—it requires discipline. Just as athletes train their bodies through repetition and resistance, believers must cultivate spiritual practices that anchor them in peace. The blessed person meditates on God's Word day and night, becoming like a tree planted by streams of water. Notice the tree doesn't strive to produce fruit; it naturally yields because of where it's rooted. Your peace depends on where you're planted. Meditation—verbalizing Scripture, visualizing truth, and internalizing God's promises—transforms your thought life. When pressure comes, you won't react from anxiety but respond from a reservoir of divine truth.

This week, commit to physical disciplines (sleep, exercise, nutrition), spiritual disciplines (prayer, Scripture, fellowship), and emotional disciplines (rest, laughter, joy). These aren't optional luxuries—they're essential practices that position you to receive God's peace regardless of external circumstances.
