Today's Word of Wonder: Intimacy

The Scripture Spotlight for Today

"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."— Revelation 3:20 (NIV)

The Devotion: The Voice at the Door

Communication is never a one-way street. After a week of learning to harness the power of our own tongues, we arrive at the Sabbath—the day of The Divine Dialogue.

In Revelation 3:20, Jesus portrays Himself not as a distant ruler, but as a Guest waiting for an invitation. He is knocking. He is speaking. But the "door" of our hearts only has a handle on the inside. He won't force His way in; He waits for us to recognize His voice and respond.

The WOW Moment today is realizing that the Creator of the Universe wants to have "dinner" with you. In the ancient world, sharing a meal was the ultimate sign of Intimacy and friendship. When you open the door of your heart through worship and prayer, you aren't just performing a religious duty; you are sitting down at a table with Grace itself.

As you enter worship today, don't just focus on the words you are saying or singing. Focus on the words He is whispering back. He has words of identity, calling, and comfort that only your soul can hear. The power of your words this week was just the preparation for the power of His word in you today.

Wonder Prompt (Actionable Reflection)

Imagine Jesus sitting across from you today. If there was total silence between you, would it feel awkward, or would it feel like peace?

• Action: During worship or your quiet time today, spend a few minutes just "listening" with your spirit. Ask: "Lord, what is the one word You want me to carry into next week?"

• Reflection: How does your perspective change when you realize you aren't walking into Monday alone, but with the Guest who sat at your table on Sunday?

• Prayer: "Lord, I hear Your knock. I open the door of my heart wide today. Come in and dwell with me. Speak Your truth into the quiet places of my soul, and let Your voice be the loudest one I hear. Amen."
