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.

#Separation from your spouse and the issues that cause in the marriage. The Bible does allow for husband and wife to separate rather than Divorce, in order to keep peace in the marriage. Yet this is a major stumbling for adultery in the marriage. It must be done prayerfully and carefully, in order to keep the relationship holy. God hates Divorce and Jesus condemned it in Matt. 19 when He said from the beginning it was not so. Yet God suffered Moses to write a bill of Divorcement because of the hardness of your hearts. What should couples do while separated? Well, some form of counseling would be appropriate. When couples are hopelessly deadlocked in dispute, then Divorce may be the only option in order to move on in life. Remaining celibate should be the goal, but once again, it is better to marry than to burn in lust.
#And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her and opened her womb. And she conceived and bare a son and said, God hath taken away my reproach: And she called his name Joseph and said, The LORD shall add to me another son. Gen. 30:22-24
God winked at all of this polygamy then, but he has commanded every man to have his own wife, and every woman to have her own husband. For there is coming a day when he will judge the world by that one man Christ Jesus. So repent everyone and be baptized so that a time of refreshing shall come upon you. Live joyfully with the wife of thy youth and let her breast satisfy thee at all times. Let the wife render due to benevolence to her husband and let the husband render due to benevolence to his wife. Only come apart for a season so that ye can pray, then come back together, least the devil tempt you to sin,
#And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah and the name of the younger was Rachael. Leah was tender-eyed, but Rachel was beautiful and well-favored. And Jacob loved Rachael and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. Gen. 29:16-18
The prankster things that Jacob did to get the birthright and blessing from his brother will come back to haunt him with his uncle Laban. Be not deceived for God is not mocked, what so ever a man sows, that shall he also reap. If you sow deception, then you will reap deception. That is the lesson that Jacob is to learn, as uncle Laban wanted to get both daughters married, and knew that Jacob would not have married Leah, so Rachel he used to deceive him into thinking that seven years working for him he could marry Rachel. Well, it turned out he would marry Leah first and then have to work another seven years, fourteen all together to marry Rachel. This story gives poetic justice to the way Jacob had treated his brother. We learn that what we do to others will come back to us, good or bad. So make sure that you are sowing good seeds, so when there is time for a harvest, you will be happy to reap what you have sowed.
#And Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of springing water. Gen. 26:19
Abimelech said unto Isaac, go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. We are more than the wicked when God is on our side. Always give glory to God for making us the head and not the tail. So walk in the victory of Jesus today in all of your relationships.
#How does God look at interracial marriages? We see that after Sarah died, Abraham married an Ethiopian woman, by the name of Keturah. So it is permissible in scripture as long as the two are equally yoked together. Since 1968 these marriages have been under attack in America, and still, it is not popular to be married to someone outside of your racial background. Love is the common denominator and as long as there is love in the marriage, it will never fail. Love believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things, for love never fails. So as we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday weekend, let us celebrate the diversity that we have in America, for the Dream is starting to come true.
#And he said, blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren. And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things, Genesis 24:27,28
Eleazer is a type of the Holy Spirit and Rebekah is a representative of the 'Church. Isaac is a type of Christ as the bridegroom of the Church and the Holy Spirit is making her ready, as a chaste virgin without spot or blemish. So when you read this story this is how a true marriage is made in heaven by God the Father, for His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
#The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house and from the land of my kindred and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, unto thy seed will I give this land, he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence. Gen. 24:7
Abraham wanted to be sure that Isaac would be equally yoked together with his wife, so he had Eleazer, to promise he would get a wife from his kindred. Such faith was honored again by Jehovah and Rebekah was selected to be the wife of Isaac. God works in mysterious ways and the only way to please God is to walk by faith. So it is that Abraham pleased God and was rewarded for his great faith. There are two types of faith mentioned in the: Bible: little faith and great faith. Abraham had great faith and was able to accomplish great things for the Lord. May we be inspired by his example and walk by faith, for without faith, it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6
#Abraham fulfilled his marital duties to Sarah and mourned for her when she died at 127 years old. God blessed their marriage and it was until death did they part. Abraham taught us how to trust God even when it did not make sense and God rewarded his faith. Now the last act of faith was to find a burial place for his beloved wife. God rewarded his faith again by providing Macpelland for her last resting place. What a great man of God to see that his beloved wife would have a sacred burial place. May God use this example of love to inspire more couples to fulfill their marital vows till death do we part Amen!
#That in blessing I will bless thee and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is on the seashore and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. Gen. 22:17,18
Abraham is the father of faith and a friend of God. It was his obedience to the will of God for his life that gave him that distinction. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Thus it was that childlike faith that followed Abraham everywhere he pitched his tent. We too can be a blessing to others when we move by faith in God. Jehovah will direct our pathway as long as we acknowledge Him in every area of our lives. When we walk by faith we will be pleasing to God and He will see that we are a blessing to others around us.
#And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father and said my father and he said, Here am I, my son, And he said behold the fire and the wood but where is the Lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. Gen.22:7,8
Isaac is a lad and able to speak for himself, which is a picture of Jesus Christ and God did not spare His own Son but delivered Him on the cross for all as our Jehovah Jireh. Receive Him today as your Savior and He will make a way for you today, Do not put it off for tomorrow is not sure. Now is the day of salvation. Abraham believed God would resurrect Isaac and he was obedient. God the Father did resurrect Jesus the third day because Jesus was obedient, We must obey for there is no way to be happy in Jesus than to trust and obey. I pray you will accept Him today and you will be saved.
