Well placed words

"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver." Proverbs 25:11

Gold was the metal of royalty during the days of King Solomon in 950 BC. Even 3000 years later gold has held its costly value. Two of the contributing factors to this are its beauty and rarity. 

Like gold, our words have the potential to cover others in loveliness. In our fast paced, me-centered culture it's sometimes difficult to slow down and think before we speak. A fitly spoken word is a rare word in the modern world. A fitly spoken word is a rare word at the grocery store checkout. A fitly spoken word is a rare word at home. A fitly spoken word is a rare word on the soccer field. A fitly spoken word is a rare word in a restaurant. A fitly spoken word is a rare word on the internet.

Not only what we say but when we say it determines a word's weight and worth. Let's speak slowly and wisely today.
