A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. 1 Corinthians 7:7 Celibacy is a gift
The Greek word for gift is Charisma, meaning gratuity, i.e., deliverance (from danger or passion), a spiritual endowment, or a miraculous faculty. Celibacy is a gift from God, and Paul has received it and wishes all men had it. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband, and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body but the wife. Each spouse is to render due benevolence to the other, and not deprive the other of their conjugal rights, except for a season of fasting and prayer. Then come together again so the devil cannot tempt you, for your incontinency. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn in lust. And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband. Paul received this epistle from the Lord, and the Holy Spirit inspires it, so do not say this is Paul's opinion, because it is not.
Celibacy is a gift, and thank God if you have it. Marriage is also a gift, so if you do not have the gift of celibacy, then pray to God for a spouse so that you will not burn in lust. Yes, this passage of the Bible is not espoused enough, and many couples struggle over how to date and how to get and stay married. Whoso finds a good wife has favor with God. So pray to God if you cannot keep your hands off your mate to prepare yourself for marriage. Paul tells his wife that she should not abandon her husband, a common practice among many wives who want to leave their marriages. Remember, you are bound unto your husband as long as he lives. So God will judge you if you abandon your husband.
#Always in every prayer of mine for you all, making requests with joy, Philippians 1:4 Pray without ceasing
The Greek word for prayer is Deesis, meaning a petition or supplication. Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: Grace be unto you and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; in as much as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
Pray without ceasing is the will of God for us in Christ Jesus, as that is what Paul and Timotheus were doing for the saints in Christ Jesus who were at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons. How wonderful it is to know that someone is praying for you, and that certainly is what the Lord Jesus Christ is doing for all of us at the right hand of the Father in heaven. So let your requests be made with thanksgiving in your hearts, for the Lord can make for all who can complete His good work in us until the day of Jesus Christ. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works. It is my prayer that you will run this race that is before you, looking unto Jesus, the author of our faith, who, for the joy set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven interceding for us. So do your best to stand in the defence of the gospel, and continue to pray without ceasing.
#If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Psalms 124:2 Thank God for Jesus
The Hebrew word for LORD is Yhovah, for the Self-Existent or Jehovah, the Jewish name of God. (A song of degrees of David) If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us; Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Thank God for Jesus, the angel of the Lord in the Old Testament, who stood up for Israel, and He now intercedes for us at the right hand of the Father in heaven. Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. May the Lord be praised, for He alone is worthy of all our praises. Sing unto the Lord a new song, exalt His name in the sanctuary. For God is good, and His mercy endureth forever. Thank God the suspect in the Charlie Kirk's assassination has been caught, and now the wheels of justice may roll. It is time for us as a nation to claim our Christian heritage and honor the Lord who has not given us over to the will of our enemies. We sit alone between three oceans, and the Lord is in our midst, watching over us. Thank God for our founding fathers who said, " One Nation under God with liberty and Justice for all." Truly, God has been good to the United States of America and has allowed us to exist for soon to be 250 years. 911 did not destroy us, and we will never forget the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Thank God for Jesus, our great shepherd of the sheep, who watches over us and keeps us from falling. May we ever praise the Lord for His goodness and mercy. David could say I have been young and old, and not once have I seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging bread. Truly, the Lord is good unto Israel, the apple of His eye, and we pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
#Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: 1 Peter 4:4 Be ye holy
The Greek word for riot is Asotia, meaning unsavedness, or profligacy. Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for He that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That He no longer should live the rest of His time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries. Who shall give account to Him that is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
Be ye holy, for God is holy. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Walk in the Spirit and ye will not yield to the lust of the flesh. For we walk in the flesh, but we do not war after the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; 2 Corinthians 10:4 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, being absent toward you: But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trusts in himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's. So be ye holy, and be at peace with all men, for without holiness no man will see the Lord.
#This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 Timothy 3:1 The days are evil
The Greek word for perilous is Chalepos, meaning difficult, i.e., dangerous and fierce. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents. unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such, turn away.
The days are evil, as we saw the assassination of Mr. Charlie Kirk, and this is such an awful travesty of justice. Just as Paul told the young minister Timothy, these are perilous times. Jesus said Because iniquity shall be unbound, the love of many shall wax cold. This young father and statesman had a great future ahead of him, and he was shot. We pray for his family and that justice will be done, and the one who did this will be caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It is time for the political polarization to end, and for us to value life over things. It is high time for us to be our brother's keeper. The days are evil, and we are no longer safe gathering in our churches. I pray that we will sound the alarm to turn to Jesus before the day of His wrath comes. For many shall be in the valley of decision, and it is time to cast off the works of darkness and walk in the light, as Jesus is the Light of the world. For the wrath of God will be revealed against all those who hold the truth in ungodliness. It is time to live by the Sermon on the Mount and to do unto others as we would have them do unto us.
#The moon and stars to rule by night: for His mercy endureth forever. Psalms 136:9 Give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good.
The Hebrew word for mercy is Checed, for kindness, by implication towards God. Piety, favor, loving kindness. Give thanks unto the Lord for He is Good, and His mercy endures forever. The Omega Block is there in the heavens to give some of us warm weather, as we just experienced cool fall-like weather. Thank God for His mercy in sparing us a busy hurricane season, as the moon and the stars rule by night, causing the oceans to roar, and for the blessing of this wonderful weather. To Him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for His mercy endureth forever. To Him that made great lights: for His mercy endureth forever. The sun to rule by day: for His mercy endureth forever. To Him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for His mercy endureth forever. And brought out Israel from among them: for His mercy endureth forever. With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for His mercy endureth forever.
Give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, and His mercy endureth forever. He does not give us what we deserve, but gives grace to the humble, cause His mercy endureth forever. O magnify the Lord with me, cause His mercy endureth forever. Sing unto the Lord, and praise His holy name, for His mercy endureth forever. Lift your voice and sing His praises in the land of the living, for His mercy endureth forever. May we always be thankful and rejoice in the Lord, for the joy of the Lord is our strength. It is my prayer that whatever you are going through, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, and His mercy endureth forever. For in Him we live, we move, and we have our being. May the Lord bless you with His loving kindness as He shelters us from the storms of life. For He is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last.
#A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26 Create in me a clean heart
The Hebrew word for heart is Labe, used very widely for the feelings, the will, and even the intellect. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. Create in me a clean heart, O God, is the prayer of King David for Israel. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. I will also save you from all your uncleanness: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. Israel will return to Jehovah God, and He will sanctify them from their stony heart, unto a heart of flesh. Create in me a clean heart, is our prayer, and put the right spirit in us. Thank God the hurricane Season is slow, and we pray we will not have a major one this year. The Lord will be exalted in the heavens.
#Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity, for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labor which thou takest under the sun. Ecclesiastes 9:9 Live joyfully with thy wife
The Hebrew word for vanity is Habel, meaning transitory, for such are your days under the sun. Also, their love, and their hatred, and their envy, have now perished; neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun. Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. Live joyfully with thy wife all your appointed times, for there is no joy in the grave
#Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17 Every good gift is from God
The Greek word for variableness is parallage, meaning transmutation of fickleness. But every man is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath. For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Every good gift is from God, so be thankful and do not let the sun go down on your wrath. Be angry but sin not. Speak the truth in love and be ye kind-hearted, and tender in spirit, forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you. We must lift one another in prayer daily before the Lord, so that the fruits of righteousness will be seen in our lives. For God is not willing that any would perish, but that all would come to repentance.
Every good gift is from God, and He makes no preferences toward us. So thank God for His mercies, which are new every morning, for great is thy faithfulness, O God my rock and my redeemer. Do not blame God for your temptations, for God is not evil and cannot tempt any man, but He does test us to do good, so that we can be recipients of His perfect gift. God is not fickle, and He treats us all the same, so put away all complaining and, with meekness, seek the implanted word of God, which can save your soul.
#Every wise woman buildeth her house; but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. Proverbs 14:1 Be a wise builder
The Hebrew word for buildeth is Banah, meaning to build literally and figuratively, to obtain children, to repair, and to set up. He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD; but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth Him. In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride, but the lips of the wise shall preserve them. Where no oxen are, the crib is clean; but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
Be a wise builder, for every wise woman buildeth her house, but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. Be a Proverbs 31 woman who looks well after her house. Marriage is a delicate issue, and so keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life. I have seen wise women work hard at building their family, and then I have seen foolish women let things of this world get in the way of family life and building a strong house. With her own hands, she tears it down. So be a wise builder. Jesus said a wise man built his house upon the rock, and the storms came, and the rains with the floods came and beat upon that house, but it stood, because it was built upon the rock. The foolish man built his house upon the sands, and the storms came, and the rain and floods beat upon that house, and it fell, because it had no foundation.
Women, build your house upon the Lord Jesus Christ, and He will enable your home to stand the storms of life, and your children will praise you. Do not be like the foolish woman, who, with her own hands, tears down her house, because it has no foundation. Jesus is the solid rock on which we stand, for all other ground is sinking sand. Be a wise builder, and let Jesus Christ be the head of your family, and He will keep it together in the storms of life. It is my prayer that you will meditate on these scriptures and let Jesus lead your family and build your house upon the rock. Do not let a fetish be the downfall of your home, but make it upon the word of God. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
