Wise Words...

Proverbs 25:11-12
word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold
Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear.

I'm not sure what "apples of gold in settings of silver" is supposed to mean but it sounds good. What I do know is that it is impossible to speak fit words without being knee-deep in prayer and eyeball-deep in God's Word. Fit, wise words do not come from impulsive, prideful, self-centered human beings like me.

God,
Make my eyes hunger more for Your Word.
Make my ears to hear from Your Spirit.
Make my mind to discern Your wisdom.
Make my heart to deny my own inclinations.
Amen.
