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.

#This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth but thou shalt meditate therein day and night that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success. Joshua 1:8
The Hebrew word for success is Sakal; meaning to be prudent, circumspect, and intelligent. God has called Joshua to lead the children of Israel. Psalm 119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. This book of the Law thou shalt meditate therein day and night. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? Thy word have I hidden in my heart that I shall not sin against God. This is the key to success and prosperity. Always start your day with the Word of God, and thank God for allowing you to see another day. For our times are in His hands. Seach me Oh God and know my heart, see if there be any wicked way in me, and if there be lead me in the way everlasting. Joshua did this and the Lord blessed him to lead the children of Israel into the promised land. Moses led them out of Egypt, into the wilderness, but the people murmured against the Lord, and Moses hit the rock when he was to speak to it to get water. Because of that disobedience, Moses was not allowed to lead the children of Israel into the promised land. This is a very important lesson for us to finish what we started. This is what Joshua did, for he said as for me and my house we shall serve the Lord.
#Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief: when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. Isaiah 53:10
The Hebrew word for prosper is Tsalach; for to rush; meaning to push forward. To break out, come mightily, to be profitable; a primitive root; to push forward, in various senses (literal or figurative, transitive or intransitive) 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. The Greek word for prospereth is Euodoo; for to have a prosperous journey. From a compound of Eu and Hodos; to help on the road, i.e. (passively) succeed in reaching; figuratively, to succeed in business affairs. Here we see Jehovah God causing our Lord Jesus to be bruised for our transgressions, and put Him to grief, and made His soul an offering for sin, and Jesus saw His seed and prolonged His days and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. This means success for God wants us to prosper in business, and most importantly to have good health. This does not mean we will not get sick physically, but spiritually we are healed by the stripes of the Lord Jesus
#LORD, make me to know mine end and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. Psalm 39:4
The Hebrew word for frail; is Chadel; for lacking or forbearing. destitute and vacant. From Chadal; vacant, i.e. Ceasing or rejected. Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised and we esteemed Him not. The Lord Jesus took upon Him the form of a man lacking in beauty, and we despised Him and esteemed Him not. He did all of this so that we could be redeemed from the curse of sin and death. The Psalmist is saying Jehovah God make me to know my end, and the measure of my days. We start out as a baby, turn into a teenager, and become a man, then an old man. Our life is a vapor, we appear today and we are gone tomorrow. It is for this reason we must apply our hearts to wisdom. For it is appointed unto man once to die and after that the judgment. We will have to give an account of our lives, and how we used the time that was allotted to us, For there is a time to be born and a time to die. Therefore, use all your time for the glory of God, for this is the chief end of man. Live today as if it is your last day, and when you hear His voice harken unto it. For now is the day of salvation. Receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then you will be prepared for eternity. For the books will be opened, and all those whose names are not written in the Lamb's book of life, will be cast into the Lake of Fire, this is the second death. The Spirit and the Bride say come, and drink of the water of life freely, for whoever drinks of that water living wells of eternal life will flow out of him. It is my prayer to you will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved and thine house.
#If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
The Greek word for confess is Homologeo; for to speak the same, and to agree with God. From a compound of the base of Homou and Logos; to assent, i.e. Covenant, acknowledgment is made and thanks and promise. The question was asked if God forgives us when we confess our sins, why does He still punish us? In the case of David and Bathsheba when Nathan came to David and told him the story about the rich man who had many sheep and took the poor man's lamb. Then David said he must be killed for this. Then Nathan said thou art the man, and King David was sorrowful and in Psalm 51 he confessed to God restore unto me a pure heart, and take not thy Spirit from me. Nathan said God has forgiven you, but the baby born will die. The reason God punished King David a man after His own heart is because Old Testament saints were under the law, but we in the New Testament are under grace. We also have the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit within us. So we must agree with God when we confess, and not try to reason with God. The scripture says let us reason together, though your sins were a scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. God forgave King David, but the enemies of God blasphemed King David for what he did, being a man after God's own heart. We have an advocate with the heavenly Father who is interceding for us. So we must be quick to confess all known sins, and the blood of Jesus will cleanse us from all unrighteousness when we confess to God. Then as Jesus told the woman caught in adultery, neither do I condemn thee, go and sin no more. This New Year, turn over a new leaf, read the Bible daily, and pray the Lord's Prayer.
#And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel and the Holy Ghost was upon him. Luke 2:25
The Greek word for consolation is Paraklesis; for a calling to one's aide, encouragement, and comfort. From Parakaleo; imploration hortation, solace, comfort, exhortation, or intreaty.2 Corinthians 8:4 Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. This is what Simeon was doing as he was just and devout and filled with the Holy Spirit praying that he would not see death until he saw the salvation of Israel. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before, he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple and when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do to him after the custom of the law, Then took he Him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before all people: A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. Oh, praise the Lord for this great light which has shone on all people. May we live according to the light of your word, and thank you Lord for the testimony of Simeon. And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. And Simeon blessed them and said unto Mary His mother, Behold, this Child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel and for a sign which shall be spoken against (yea, a sword shall pierce through thy soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
#But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Luke 2:19
The Greek word for pondered is Symballo; for to throw together, to discuss, consider, and meet with. Merry Christmas everyone! Just as the Virgin Mary considered all these things in her heart, we must do the same. Acts 18:27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he came, helped them much which had believed through grace. Let us thank the Lord that through the storms He kept us by His grace, just as Paul was kept through the grace of God. He mightily convinced the Jews publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. When eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, His name was called JESUS, which was the named of the angel before He was conceived in the womb. Thank God for the Virgin Mary as she taught us how to remain humble when God uses you mightily for His glory. May we celebrate the holiday pondering the grace of God, who sent His only begotten Son into the world to save us from our sins. It is my prayer that you will accept Jesus as your Personal Lord and Savior.
#And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7
The Greek word for swaddling clothes is Sparganoo; for to wrap in swaddling clothes; From Sparganon (a strip; from a derivative of the base of Sparasso; meaning to strap or wrap with strips) to swathe (an infant after the Oriental custom) Leviticus 16:32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments: Merry Christmas and thank the Lord that Jesus was wrapped in swaddling clothes as a Babe to symbolize His High Priestly ministry He would perform for us by dying on the Cross for our sins. Joseph and Mary paid their taxes and in the fullness of time, the Babe Jesus was born and laid in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. What a tragedy, as the Lord Jesus coming had been told by the prophet Micah and still they were not prepared for Him in the inn. today there is still no room for Jesus, as the world looks for Santa Claus coming down a chimney to give presents to all the good boys and girls. Jesus came to give salvation to all who have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. What a contrast, as there was non-righteous, no one, but God commended His love for us in that while we were yet sinners God sent His Son into the world to die for us. Galatians 4:4,5 But when the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Matthew 5:17 Think not that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. Praise the Lord He is fulfilling the law, wrapped up in swaddling clothes by the Virgin Mary, the Mother of the Lord Jesus. If that is not love, then tell me what is? Jesus loved us so much that He became a Baby and then the Savior of the world. This Christmas celebrate Jesus Christ and give someone the greatest gift by telling them about Him.
#And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. Luke 2:1
The Greek word for Caesar is Kaisar; for Roman Emperor; of Latin origin; Caesar (properly, the surname of Julius Caesar, which being adopted by Octavianus Augustus and his successors afterward became an appellative, and was appropriated by the Roman emperors as a part of their title. Luke 23:2 And they began to accuse Him saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that He is Christ a King. This is the purpose of Christmas to prove to the world that Biblical history, is world history, and because Caesar Agustus lived, we can be sure Jesus lived and was born a Babe in Bethlehem because He was of the house and lineage of King David. They lied to Jesus about not paying taxes. Indeed, Kings and their descendants did not have to pay taxes, but Jesus said render to Caesar what is due, and render to God what is due. We too are lied to as followers of Christ. It was done this way so that Joseph and the Virgin Mary would be in Bethlehem when Jesus was born as the scriptures had prophecies. Matthew 17:25-27 He said, yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their children, or strangers? Peter saith unto Him of strangers. Jesus said then the children are free. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take and give unto them for Me and thee.
#For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given and the government shall be upon His shoulder and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
The Hebrew word for wonderful; is Pele: for a miracle; The Hebrew word for counselor is Yaats: for advice, deliberate, and resolve. The Hebrew word for mighty is Gibbor; for strong; The Hebrew word for God is El; meaning strength; The Hebrew word for everlasting; is Ad; for perpetuity; The Hebrew word for Father is Ab; for chief. The Hebrew word for Prince; is Sar; for chieftain, chief ruler, official, or captain; The Hebrew word for Peace; is Shalom; for completeness, soundness, welfare, safety, happiness, friendliness, health, and prosperity. This is what the Messiah means to us at Christmas and all times of the year. Let us look forward to His Second Advent when He will come and the Government shall be upon His shoulders and He shall reign from sea to sea,
#Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14
Immanuel means God is with us, the name of a Child—a type of Isaiah's name of a son. See Hebrew for Im, meaning with. Hebrew for El, meaning God and strength. Shortened from Ayil, for the Almighty God. Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child and bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which is interpreted as God with us. The Greek for Emmanuel is Emmanouel, God with us, the name of Christ Immanuel. According to the orthodox interpretation, the name denotes the same and has reference to the personal union of the human nature and the divine in Christ.
