"I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord."
-- Psalm 122:1

The Daily Light

Let your speech be always with grace.
  • A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear. -- Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. -- A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. -- By thy words thou shalt be justified. -- The tongue of the wise is health.
  • They that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.
  • If thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth. -- Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, ... see that ye abound in this grace also.
