DAY 100

A Word Fitly Spoken

Proverbs 25:11
기원전 10~6세기 편집 (히브리 지혜문학)
ORIGINAL
תַּפּוּחֵי זָהָב בְּמַשְׂכִּיּוֹת כָּסֶף דָּבָר דָּבֻר עַל־אָפְנָיו
📜 THE VERSE

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

❓ TODAY'S QUESTION

Am I saying the right word at the right time?

📝Reflection

The same word can be medicine or poison depending on when it is said. However right, a word that misses its moment becomes nagging; meeting its moment, it becomes a comfort that lasts a lifetime. This verse likens a word set at that exact moment to a golden apple. Timing matters as much as content. To have something to say yet know how to wait until it can be heard — that is the true craft of speech.

Even with something you must say today, first check "Is now the time it can be heard?" and choose the moment.
