Today's Word of Wonder: Resonance

The Scripture Spotlight for Today

"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit."
— Proverbs 18:21 (NIV)

The Devotion: The Weight of Your Whisper

We often think of our words as "empty air." We vent when we’re frustrated, we gossip when we’re bored, and we speak harshly to ourselves when we fail. But the Bible tells us that our words have Resonance. They don't just disappear; they land like seeds in the soil of our lives.

If you spend your Monday morning saying, "This week is going to be a disaster," you are essentially planting "disaster seeds." But when you align your tongue with God's truth—even when you don't feel it yet—you are planting Life.

The WOW Moment today is realizing that you have a God-given authority to change the "frequency" of your day. Your tongue is like the rudder on a massive ship; it’s a small part of the body, but it determines the direction of the whole vessel. If you want your week to go toward peace, you have to point your "rudder" toward praise.

When we speak life, we aren't being "fake" or "unrealistic." We are simply choosing to give God's Word more weight than our current circumstances.

Wonder Prompt (Actionable Reflection)

Listen to your "internal monologue" for the next hour. Are you speaking life or death to yourself?

• Action: Identify one negative phrase you say often (e.g., "I'm so overwhelmed" or "I'll never get this done"). Replace it with a scriptural truth (e.g., "I am equipped for everything today because God is my strength").
  

• Prayer: "Lord, set a guard over my mouth today. Let the words of my heart and the meditations of my mouth be pleasing to You. Help me to be a planter of life in every conversation I have. Amen."
