Proverbs 25:11 " A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver."
Words are powerful. They can make or break somebody. The word "fitly" means, in a fit manner; suitable, at the right time. You see, fitly words can make somebody's day. How many of us have had a bad day, and somebody at the right time said something encouraging. On the other hand, how many of us have been having a good day, and somebody at the wrong time crushed us under the power of their words. We should all watch what we say to others. Look for those who need encouragement. Notice God uses word not words. It doesn't take alot of words to be an encouragement or a blessing, just " a word fitly spoken..."

Proverbs 1:5
No doubt you have heard the phrase, "A Proverb a day keeps the devil away." While that isn't necessarily true, a Proverb a day is a great place to start. Many people will try to at least read one chapter from the book of Proverbs everyday for their Bible reading. I think we should grow past that point; however, it is definely not a bad place to start.
Proverbs 1:10 "My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not." How many of us have gotten into trouble because we were influenced by someone else? My hand is raised. I have even been the one doing the enticing. The word entice means to to attract by offering hope of reward or pleasue. That's what they were telling the young man in Proverbs 1:11-14. They promised him precious substance and spoils. Young person the devil will promise you everything in order to get you to do anything but right. Sure, the things he offers might sound cool and appealing, but in the end you're just another person he can use for himself. I believe the Lord is looking and longing for some teenagers who will choose right. Will it be easy? NO it won't always be easy. However, I can promise you that doing right ALWAYS has better results than doing wrong.
