#18: What Does it Mean to 'Let Every Word Count'?
In this week’s 52‑Week Rhythm, we’re invited to reflect on the power of our everyday speech. Words flow from us constantly—in greetings, instructions, jokes, and offhand comments—and yet, we rarely stop to consider their weight. Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 15:4 that words can either soothe like a tree of life or crush the spirit. As followers of Jesus, we carry a sacred responsibility: to make our words count. This Rhythm encourages us to move from passive speech to intentional communication—realizing that even casual words have the power to shape someone’s day, or even their life. Though accounting for every word might feel overwhelming, transformation begins in small, consistent shifts. This week’s challenge is simple but profound: choose one upcoming conversation and prepare in advance to speak only life-giving words. Whether it's a tough discussion, a moment with your child, or a quick exchange with a coworker, approach it with the intention to encourage, uplift, and speak with care. In doing so, we begin to train our hearts—and our mouths—to reflect the grace and truth of Jesus.
