Don’t lose your peace - All The Word for Today Daily Devotionals for 2026

‘The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace.' James 3:18 NKJV

Satan knows that God's Word can only be received by a heart and mind that are at peace, so he will do everything he can to keep you upset. He loves it when you get into an argument just before church and spend the entire service feeling bad. That's why you must do whatever it takes to keep your peace. There is power in peace! If the devil can't get you upset, he has no power over you. He only ‘gains' control when you ‘lose it'. He keeps you upset in order to steal your peace, confuse you, and make you run in circles. Don't let him do it!

Next time you get worked up about some issue, stop and ask yourself, ‘What's the Enemy trying to do here? If I give in to these emotions, what will the result be?' When you're stressed out, you lose your joy. And when you lose your joy, you lose your strength, because ‘the joy of the Lord is your strength.' (Nehemiah 8:10 KJV) So it's essential that you exercise self-control and try to keep your peace. James writes, ‘The wisdom that is from above is peaceable.' (James 3:17 NKJV) More than that, the tells us that the wisdom that comes from Heaven is pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. (See James 3:17-18 NIV). So, while getting along with others can be hard work, it's worth it to have peace.
