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.

#Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity and save me from bloody men. For lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me and behold. Thou, therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. Psalm 59:1-5
David is in a house that Saul sent men to watch him in order to kill him. That is why David cries out to Jehovah God of angel armies to save him from bloody men that lie in wait for his soul and yet have no reason or transgression that he has committed to seeking out. Jehovah God is summoned to awake to visit all the heathen and not to be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Thank God that the keeper of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps and is always interceding on behalf of all those who look to Him for salvation. As we celebrate the Christmas season we look to Jesus that came to us as a Babe in a manger and delivered us from all danger. What a Savior we have who saves to the uttermost all those who call on Him.
#Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow shoot his arrows let them be as cut in pieces. As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman that they may not see the sun. Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living and in his wrath. The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. Psalm 58:7-11
God is the judge of all the earth and He takes vengeance on those who obey not the gospel of peace. He shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living and in His wrath. Pray to God for He will forgive and relent His wrath but for a moment. Yes, there is a reward for the righteous and holy is the Lord most High all glory be to His name.
#Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. Psalm 58:1-6
David is reminded that Jehovah God does indeed speak righteousness to the congregation and He does judge the sons of men uprightly as well as requires that they judge uprightly too. Yet the wicked are known from their womb, for they go astray as soon as they are born. This explains why some are not allowed to live, but are stillborn, for God in His wisdom prevents the wickedness from being manifested in the earth. As we celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus let us give thanks to God for allowing His Son to be born into this world a baby that makes a woman cry but gives joyous life to all who will receive Him as their Savior.
#They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. Awake my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above the earth. Psalm 57:6-11
David wrote this psalm as he fled from Saul in the cave and chose to sing praises to the Lord most High. He said I will sing unto thee among the nations. For thy mercy is great unto the heavens and thy truth unto the clouds. Then he explodes in praise: Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth. This can be seen when flying in an airplane above the clouds the glory of thee O God. Praise Him today with me, you people.
#Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge until these calamities are overpast. I will cry unto God most High; unto God that performeth all things for me. He shall send from heaven and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. My soul is among lions and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows and their tongue a sharp sword. Be thou exalted, O God above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. Psalm 57:1-5
The Lord God is exalted, O God above the heavens and thy glory above all the earth. Let us praise Him for He alone is worthy to be praised.
#Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people O God. Thou tellest my wanderings put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. In God will I praise His word: in the LORD will I praise His word. In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. Thy vows are upon me O God: I will render praises unto thee. For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt, not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? Psalm 56:7-13
David is praising Jehovah God for delivering his soul from death and his feet from falling that he may walk before God in the light of the living? What a mighty God we serve for He tells our wanderings and puts our tears in a bottle: are they not in thy book. We must remain humble before God for He alone knows the path I shall take. As we continue to mourn the passing of a great man George Herbert Walker Bush, the forty-first President of the United States, may God grant him the peace and rest for his soul as he reunites with his loved ones in glory.
#Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they are many that fight against me, O thou most High. What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God, I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. They gather themselves together, they hide, they mark my steps when they wait for my soul. Psalm 56:1-6
David is not afraid what flesh can do unto him, for he has placed all of his trust in the Lord God of his father Abraham, Issac and Jacob. We too must learn to trust in the Lord God like that to save our souls from the evil man. Never will our enemies swallow us up because the Lord is our help in a time of trouble.
#Let death seize upon them and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwelling and among them. As for me, I will call upon God and the LORD shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon, will I pray and cry aloud and he shall hear my voice. He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me. God shall hear and afflict them, even he that of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant. The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but a war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. Cast thy burden upon the LORD and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. But thou, O God, shall bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in thee. Psalm 55:15-23
Jehovah shall sustain all those that cast their burden upon the Lord and He shall not suffer the righteous to be moved. So trust in the Lord forever and cast all of your burdens upon the Lord.
#Lo then would I wander far off and remain in the wilderness. Selah. I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest. Destroy O Lord and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me: then I would have hidden from him. But it was thou a man mine equal, my guide and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together and walked into the house of God in the company. Psalm 55:7-14
Our prayer is with the family of the late great President George H.W. Bush in his passing. He was truly a great friend of everyone and will be missed. I thank God for his life and great service to this country.
#Give ear to my prayer, O God and hide not thyself from my supplication. Attend unto me and hear me: I mourn in my complaint and make a noise; Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me and in wrath they hate me. My heart is sorely pained within me and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me and horror hath overwhelmed me. And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away and be at rest. Psalm 55:1-6
David prayed to the Lord O God and hide not thyself from my supplication. He cries out for God to hear him, for I mourn in my complaint and make a noise. The scripture tells us to make a joyful noise before the Lord. God is ever present in our time of trouble, even as the terrors of death are fallen upon me. Then he cries out that if I had the wings like a dove for then would I fly away and be at rest. The dove is the example of peace and rest, so David gives the key for us to be at rest in the Lord.
