A Word Fitly Spoken Is Valuable

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” – Proverbs 25:11 (KJV)

Have you ever had someone say just the right thing at just the right time? Maybe it was a word of encouragement when you were feeling down, or a gentle truth that helped you get back on track. Those words didn’t just land—they lifted.

The Bible tells us that a “word fitly spoken” is like golden apples in a silver setting—something beautiful, valuable, and perfectly placed.

Our words carry weight. They can build bridges or burn them. They can spark joy or sow sorrow. One well-timed compliment, encouragement, or simple “I believe in you” can change someone’s entire day—or life.

Today’s Reminder:

You don’t have to be eloquent to speak life. You just have to be intentional. Speak love. Speak peace. Speak hope. Someone around you needs to hear that they matter, they’re capable, and they’re not alone.

Don’t underestimate the power of your voice. The right word at the right time might be exactly what someone’s soul has been waiting for.

Today’s Challenge:

Ask God to help you speak a “fitly spoken word” to someone today. Whether it’s a phone call, text, or face-to-face moment, use your words to uplift, not tear down.

Because one word can make all the difference.
