Welcome to 2026! The first week in January—the time where gyms are full, weight loss programs make all their money, and financial plans are in place.

It’s one thing to make resolutions; it’s a completely different thing to develop some healthy rhythms. The 70’s Christian song “Day by Day” gives us a good prayer for the New Year: “Three things I pray. To see Thee more clearly, to love Thee more dearly, and to follow Thee more nearly, day by day.”

The book of Psalms begins with a vivid picture of two paths to walk. One becomes a path to a withered and wasted life. The other is a path that creates deep roots like a tree near a stream. But how do we walk the path to life? The Scriptures teach us that the way to walk this path is in developing healthy rhythms that lead us to deeper love for and knowledge of Jesus and a more devoted life to His mission.

Today we will look at the spiritual rhythms of Bible intake, prayer, rest, worship, and fasting; sharing ideas to implement these rhythms in our lives to help us walk in the way of the Lord day by day.
