“Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”
We live in such a negative world. Turn on the news—all negative. Listen to people talk—more negative than positive. Even among Christians we often hear more grumbling than we do praising. We shouldn’t be that way. We read in Proverbs that pleasant words (positive, encouraging, etc.) are sweet to the soul and health to the bones.
Have you ever noticed that when you are around a negative person that you leave feeling bad or depressed even if you were in a good mood when the conversation started? We need to be careful that we are not the one who brings everybody else down. When we speak words of affirmation; words that are uplifting, words of encouragement or just silly things, we contribute not only to the health of ourselves but the health of others also.
As you go through the day today, think on your words and let them be sweet as honey.
