Honey Sweet

23 

From a wise mind comes wise speech;
     the words of the wise are persuasive.

24 

Kind words are like honey—
     sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.

Verse 23

Another translation of the second line is, ‘So his words persuade people.’

A wise man’s words are honest. He does not think one thing, but say something else. He does not lie.

People trust the words of a wise person, because they know him. They know that he speaks the truth. So he can persuade them to do the right things.

Verse 24

Honey was a food for Solomon. It has a beautiful smell and a good flavor. Solomon also used it as a medicine.

Pleasant words are like honey. Both are good for the body. Both bring pleasure. Both can help you.Today's proverbs are not about showing differences but about supporting each other. Wise people are happy to share their wisdom because they believe it comes from Yahweh (God) and not from themselves.

Since God has freely given His wisdom to wise people, they want to pass it on to others.

Verse 24 talks about how wise people appreciate the life-giving words found in the Scriptures. They share these words because they bring peace to souls and healing to those who are hurting.

In our daily lives, we know that positive words of hope make us feel better.

Let me ask you: Have you shared words of joy and hope with the people you've met this week?
