Proverbs - Pleasant Words


Proverbs 16:24

 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb,
sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Words are very powerful.  A word spoken at just the right time can enter into our lives and carry us through so much.  Honeycomb was considered a treat and brought much needed strength to those who might be travelling through a barren region with only minimum supplies.  When the traveler would find the honeycomb and drink in the sweet substance, strength would come in and the dreary, dusty path became more pleasant with a pleasurable experience in the midst of their journey.  When we seek the Lord to cause the words of our mouth to be pleasant we can have this sort of impact on those traveling around us.  When we wake up our children in the morning, we can speak pleasant words.  When our husbands come home from work, we can speak pleasant words.  When we answer our phones, our tone can be pleasant and sweet.  When we come before that cashier we can speak words that will be sweet to their soul and health to their bones.  May the Lord touch our tongues today and may the words we speak be pleasant, sweet and health.
