Sometimes a girl has to rearrange furniture. I have no idea why, and for me it is rare, but sometimes moving one’s bed also dislodges the broadband cord without a person realizing it. 🙂 For nearly two days. So this post will be a bit shorter than I’d hoped. (You know, I hoped to have profound thoughts to share rather than just thoughts.) Anyway, I’ve been reading Proverbs and a few verses particularly stood out to me as a writer.
I came across the expression “gracious words” in Proverbs, so I decided to share a few such verses from the Bible today. 🙂
- The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord, but gracious words are pure. Proverbs 15:26
- Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. Proverbs 16:24
- And all spoke well of him and marveled at the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, “Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22
We can strive for “gracious words,” yet God works grace even through those words we may try to fight or avoid. Thanks be to Christ Jesus our Lord!
