WISE SPEECH
Today's reading: Ezekiel 29-30, Hebrews 12:14-29, Proverbs 20:1-18

"Wise speech is rarer and more valuable than gold and rubies." Proverbs 20:15 NLT

There is an exorbitant amount of talking that goes on--wise words, however, less prevalent.

Think about it...

Of all the State of the Union addresses presented over the years, only a handful of quotes can be given that are memorable and noteworthy.

Of all the commencement speeches spoken over the ages, only a smattering of their time in the spotlight will be remembered in history.

Of all the eulogies given beside gravesides, how many do you recall?

Of all the outstanding sermons you've heard, can you quote much of any of any one?

Of all the things your grandparents or parents taught you about life, what can you remember?

Wise words are rare, priceless treasures that are seldom unearthed.

Let's listen for them today. And if given the opportunity, let's administer them with great care, much prayer and God's leading.
