Dear Diary,
On my Day 16 of the #40Day_Zip_it_Challenge I learned about the power and the value of a pleasant and timely word.
Friends, timing is everything! Have you ever said something, and people were like, "Wow! You're God sent. We needed to hear that!" Or have you ever said something but then the timing spoilt everything? Ecclesiastes 3:7 tells us there is an appropriate time to speak. Proverbs 15:23, "A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, and a timely word spoken in due season, how delightful it is?" Whether hey are words of rebuke or encouragement, if the words are timely and appropriate, they'll be like honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and healing to the bones. Proverbs 16: 24, "Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,sweetness to the soul and health to the bones." Properly timed and well-spoken words are compared with golden apples in baskets of silver. Proverbs 25:11-15, "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver."
Sometimes it is hard to know what so say and when to say it, ask the Lord for discernment; for appropriate words and timely moment. O myself, like the Psalmist I pray, "Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord, keep watch over the door of my lips so that I will speak pleasant and timely words," Psalm 141:3.
