The Spark | Daily Devotional 1617

from My Morning Devotional Hosted by Stephanie Alessi Muiña, Lauren Alessi Burgos, Gaby Alessi Calatayud, Richelle Alessi

Could one small sentence be creating a much bigger fire than you realize? In today’s episode, Lauren Alessi Burgos continues through James 3:5–8 and explores the powerful warning that our words can be like a spark that sets an entire forest on fire. Together, we’ll reflect on how quickly careless words, harsh reactions, or speaking without wisdom can create conflict and affect the direction of our lives. We’ll be challenged to recognize that controlling our words isn’t something we can accomplish through our own strength alone. Instead, God invites us to submit our speech to His wisdom and righteousness, learning when to speak and when to hold our tongue. Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God to give us wisdom before we speak and help us become better stewards of the words we use every day. Tap HERE to send us a text!
