DAY 16 OF 21 · Wisdom for daily life
The Power of Life-Giving Speech
Words can wound deeply or become channels of healing and grace.
PRIMARY PASSAGE
Proverbs 18:21
Read this passage slowly in your Bible before continuing. My Daily Altar uses the King James Version for its English Scripture experience.
BIBLICAL CONTEXT
Listen to the passage on its own terms.
The proverb describes the real fruit produced by speech. It is not a promise that words create any reality we demand, but a warning that speech carries moral and relational consequences.
Reflect
Whose heart could be strengthened by truthful encouragement?
Respond
Speak or send one specific word of gratitude and courage.
Pray
Lord, let my tongue bear the fruit of truth, grace, and life.
