Apples of gold in settings of silver

A word fitly spoken. Let's contemplate on that. What does that mean? Words as we know can build up or tear down they can bless or curse. So it really does matter what we say. We need to think first, well actually we need to listen first. What is the person saying? Do they need help? Do they just need to vent? Men especially are good at fixing things, sometimes that do not need fixing. if someone just needs to air out their feelings we need to listen, without judgement to them. We can then offer help or good words if needed. Or not. Notice how that was 2 sentences. sometimes help is not needed. Sometimes it is best just to pray. if we have the opportunity to offer words fitly spoken they will bless the hearer and the speaker at the same time. Be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit to be that setting of silver offering your apples of Gold
