📕 DAY 11 DEVO — SPEAK LIFE. YOUR WORDS BUILD WORLDS
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”
— Proverbs 18:21
A man’s words are never neutral.
They are either building or breaking.
Strengthening or weakening.
Breathing life or breathing death.
You don’t need to be loud to have impact.
You don’t need to be eloquent to be powerful.
But you do need to understand that your voice carries weight.
God designed men to speak life:
into their homes,
into their marriages,
into their children,
into their brothers,
into themselves.
The enemy loves silent men.
Silent husbands.
Silent fathers.
Silent leaders.
Silent believers.
Because silence creates confusion, insecurity, and spiritual dullness.
But when a man chooses to speak life, he becomes a thermostat:
- His words set the atmosphere.
- His tone shapes his home.
- His encouragement becomes fuel.
- His declarations create clarity.
Your wife needs to hear you tell her she is loved and valued.
Your kids need to hear your affirmation, pride, and blessing.
Your friends need your encouragement.
Your own mind needs to hear Scripture spoken aloud.
Men don’t realize how powerful it is when they speak life into themselves:
“I am who God says I am.”
“I walk in strength today.”
“I refuse temptation.”
“I am becoming the man God built me to be.”
“I am a protector, a leader, and a man of God.”
Your mouth trains your mind.
Your words align your heart.
Your voice directs your steps.
If your words are negative, cynical, sarcastic, passive, or harsh, they will shape your environment and weaken your spirit. But if your words are grounded in truth and spoken with intention, they will strengthen your home and sharpen your identity.
You don’t need more talent—
you need more intentionality with your voice.
ACTION STEP
Speak life into ONE person today — out loud.
Choose your wife, your child, a friend in the challenge, or even yourself.
Say:
- “I’m proud of you.”
- “I believe in you.”
- “I’m grateful for you.”
- “You’re growing stronger.”
- “God’s working in you.”
And then say one truth over yourself.
REFLECTION QUESTION
What words have I been speaking—internally or externally—that don’t align with the man God says I am?
PRAYER
Lord, train my tongue to speak life. Purify my words, sharpen my speech, and make my voice a source of strength and encouragement. Help me build my home, my relationships, and my identity through words that honor You. Amen.
