Consider today’s passage

Read Psalm 1:1–3 within the whole psalm and notice its picture of a tree beside water. Consider a repeated influence in your routine and how it shapes your response. Choose a distraction you can set aside for the next reading. Keep a question about the passage if you want to study it further.
