Are Your Words Like Honey?

After a long day working at DAR, it's now pitch black and I am currently sitting at a table in Retalhuleu, a city in Guatemala. The sounds around me are peaceful...rain dripping off of the canopy, birds still chirping, frogs croaking, and then all of a sudden a loud squawk of a bird that sounds like a goose, echoing all around - annoying; then a car alarm - sounds of warning; then a police siren -authority.

What kind of sound are you? What do your words sound like when they come out of your mouth? Are they like honey dripping off the comb? Are you a peaceful chirp, happy and content or do you gripe and complain - squawking like a goose? Do your words warn others of danger because you have been in the Word and in His presence, understand spiritual things around you?

Words can bring life or death. Proverbs 16:24 says, "Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."

"How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" Psalm 119:103

I pray you and I will choose our words carefully today so they will display the Lord's character. Words that are sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
