Colossians 4:6 says, “Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.” Grace words come from a humble heart. Fights, quarrels, harsh words, heated arguments, etc. come from a heart lifted up in pride.

Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Our pride will land us in the devil’s trap. It is bated with the exact temptation that will ensnare us unwittingly.

Chapter five in my book, Victorious Heart, is entitled Honey-Laced Words. Proverbs 16:24 says, “Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and heath to the bones.” Blood vessels and bone marrow run through parts of the bones. The holes in the honeycomb-like mesh make the bones stronger. Do you want strong bones? Then add grace words to your vocabulary. Impart grace to your hearers that will build them up.
