“The right word and the wrong word is like the difference between lightning and a lightning bug”

- Mark Twain

 

 Every find yourself searching for the right word? It can be a struggle even if our vocabulary is verbose. However, most times it not about knowing the word as much as it is choosing the right one for the right circumstances.

 

Like apples of gold in settings of silver Is a word spoken in right circumstances.

Proverbs 25:11

 Words have power. The can be the difference between life and death (Proverbs 18:21). Great damage or great good can be done with our selection of words (James 3:6). Our religion can be worthless if we use the wrong ones (James 1:26).

 Angry words can ruin our relationships. Vulgar words can ruin our example. Foolish words can harm our neighbors. Cuttings words can demoralize our allies. Unwholesome words can corrupt our efforts. Slanderous words can destroy people's lives.

 Your words say a lot about you but they also do a lot to those around you. Choose them carefully.
