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 Lo, thou shalt conceive and bear a son, and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be Nazarite unto God from the womb and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. Judges 13:5 Our Manifest Destiny in Christ
The Hebrew word for Nazarite is Nazir; for separate, i.e. consecrated, an unpruned vine. And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah and his wife were barren and bare not. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not, but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son. Now therefore beware, I pray thee and drink not wine, nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing. For lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines. Then the woman came and told her husband, saying a man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angel of God, very terrible, but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name: But he said unto me, Behold thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and now drink no wine, nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb until the day of his death. Then Manoah intreated the LORD and said O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born. Sampson is the child to be born and his Manifest Destiny is to begin to deliver the children of Israel out of the hands of the Philistines. The angel of God is the pre-incarnate Christ in the Old Testament. We have a Manifest Destiny in Christ. Philippines 1:6 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. God has to prune us to be more like Jesus. Hearin is the Father glorified when ye bare much fruit. Sampson fulfilled his Manifest Destiny when he cried out " Let me die with the Philistines" and in his death, he killed more Philistines than in all of his life. It is not how we start that determines our Manifest Destiny, it is how we finish. We must die to ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Jesus. Then when He calls us home we will be like Jesus in our glorified bodies. So do not be discouraged along the way, we will fail like Sampson did, but God will turn those failures to our good, and for His glory. Sampson is in the Hall of Fame of Faith of Hebrews 11, and we will too when we finish the race, fight a good fight, and keep the faith. May the Lord encourage you to reach your Manifest Destiny in Christ.
#Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Proverbs 27:6
The Hebrew word for friend is Ahab; for to have affection for, to love. Psalm 119:167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies, and I love them exceedingly. This is the love of a friend who will remind you of the testimonies of the Lord, and the Psalmist has done so and to keep thy soul with them. Jesus called us friends and said if you love Me, you will keep my commandments. His commandments are not burdensome, and in keeping them there is exceeding joy. Thank God when a friend will wound you with the word of God, for this is a friend who is closer than a brother, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Just as Judas Iscariot kissed the Lord Jesus, and Jesus said wherefore, cometh thou friend? Jesus was giving Judas a chance to repent, but instead, he pointed Jesus out to the Romans This Lenton season be a true friend to someone and tell them the story of Jesus, how He loved us as friends and went to the cross to bear our sins, and rose again the third day for our justification. Great peace have they which love thy law, and nothing shall offend them. LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments. This is what our friend the Lord Jesus Christ did for us, He sacrificed Himself on the tree of Mount Calvary. Oh let us praise Him today for He is the keeper of our souls, and is at the right hand of the Father in heaven interceding for us.
#And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. Isaiah 4:1
When you see the phrase "In that day" that denotes the last days, for one man will be chased by seven women wanting to marry him to take away their reproach. The Hebrew word for reproach is Cherpah; for disgrace, the pudenda, rebuke Psalms 69:8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. What a commentary For the zeal of thine house hath eaten Me up and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. I made sackcloth also my garment, and I became a proverb to them. This is a picture of the Lord Jesus who took our shame and reproach on the cross, and wept for us, as sackcloth was His garment. This lenton season weeping may be for the night but joy comes in the morning. For Jesus was offered for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. We will be changed into His likeness and all our reproach will be taken away. So celebrate the Lord for these are the last days, be faithful until the end, for the Lord will descend with a shout, the voice of the arc-angel with the trumpet of God, and the dead shall be raised first, then all those who remain will be changed in the twinkling of an eye, and caught up in the clouds, and shall forever be with the Lord our Husband. Seek the Lord while He may be found, and call upon Him while He is near, for there is coming a time when He will not be found. All those who call upon the Lord shall be saved. If thou will confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart that He is risen from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
#To whom also He shewed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: Acts 1:3 Happy Lent
The Greek word for passion is Pascho; for Pentho; used only in certain tenses for it, to experience a sensation or impression (usually painful) to suffer. Hebrews 2:18 For in that He Himself suffered being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted. There remains therefore a rest to the people of God. For He that is entered into His rest, He also hath ceased from His own works, as God did from His. Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. Hebrews 4:12 For the Word of God is alive and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of the soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Jesus entered into His rest when He arose from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight. but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession, For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. So fast and pray on this first day of Lent and walk in the Light as He is in the Light
#For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8,9
The Greek word for gift is Doron; for a present, especially a sacrifice, for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. The Greek word for workmanship is Poiema; for a product, i.e. fabric. Wherefore remember, that ye being in times past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands: That at that ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins. So let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp, bearing His reproach. For here, we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come. For we are looking for a city that has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. So give thanks to God and Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Walk as children of the light, and not of darkness.
#Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready. John 7:6
The Greek word for time is Kairos; for a set or proper time or season. Always opportunity. Of uncertain affinity an occasion, i.e. Set or proper time. Compare Chronos; for a space of time (in general, and thus properly distinguished from Kairos; which designates a fixed or special occasion, and from Aion; for an age. From the same as Aei; by extension, perpetuity also past; especially a Jewish Messianic period. Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: This is what Jesus is warning us, that Satan is always looking for ways to deceive us, for he is the prince of the power of the air, and he works in the children of disobedience. Therefore we must be on guard at all times. among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath brought us to life together with Christ, for by grace or ye saved and that not by works is the gift of God, lest any man should boast. So walk in the Spirit and ye will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. For when the prince of this world comes unto to Me, he finds nothing in Me. However, there is something in us. So commit thyself to God, and resist the devil and he shall flee. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, and every imagination that exalts itself against God.
#O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before Him, all the earth. Psalms 96:9
The Hebrew word for holiness is Qodesh; for a sacred place or thing (abstract, rarely) sanctity, consecrated and hallowed. Isaiah 65:5 Which says, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. There is smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; Which remain among the graves and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things in their vessels. God is angry with Israel because they have not worshipped Him in the beauty of holiness. They have ceased from the fear of Jehovah God and all the earth is gone after idols. It is time to repent and turn to the Lord for He will abundantly pardon. Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants sakes, that I may not destroy them all. Praise God He has given us the Holy Spirit and put new wine in a bottle. We must drink from this wine and allow the Holy Spirit to control us and walk in holiness before the Lord our God, for there will be a remnant who will turn to the Lord from their sins and walk in faith and righteousness. It is time to be at peace with all men and walk in holiness, for without holiness no man will see the Lord.
#Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Proverbs 30:8
The Hebrew word for vanity is shav; for evil, uselessness, and idolatry. God gives us what we need. Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. We must keep our word, for the Lord takes no pleasure in fools. It is a foolish thing to make a vow and fail to keep it. How many forsake their marital vows because they cannot endure for better and for worse? God gives us the ability to earn income, but we have to use it wisely for His glory. Solomon was the richest man to live and he wrote this verse give me neither poverty nor riches. this man knew what it was to be rich. He said Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. Paul said in everything give thanks for this is the will of God for us in Christ Jesus. Be ye content in whatsoever state you find yourself in. There is a generation that curseth their father and doth not bless their mother. This is the generation today that we are living in, for our parents taught us how to be thankful and use what God has given us. Yet many blame their parents because they are not rich. God told us to honor our father and mother all the days of our lives and it will be well with us. This is what's we must do for God to bless us and give us true riches. He has blessed us with all spiritual gifts in heavenly places. So be ye thankful for God is merciful and does not give us what we deserve. He is patient with us when we fail to keep our promises and sends His rain and sun on the just and unjust alike. Now it is time for us to rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice. Be thankful for what He has given and be not covetous for a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. Remove vanity and lies from your life glorify God and keep His commandments for this is the whole duty of mankind. For God will bring every work into judgment, even the hidden things. So speak the truth with your neighbor and defraud not.
#For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. Romans 1:18
The Greek word for wrath is Orge; for anger, indignation, vengeance, and violent passion. God is angry at the wicked every day and all the unrighteous deeds they do, as well as those who hold the truth of God in unrighteousness. This includes ministers who fail to preach the whole counsel of God and instead preach a watered-down gospel. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened. We see the mercy of God is at work for in the antediluvian civilization God repented that He made man, and destroyed all but Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and his family. We are the salt of the earth and are here to preserve the world from destruction, for men burned with lust toward other men, and women with other women. For God gave them up to a reprobate mind, not able to discern good from evil. We must warn the wicked to turn from their sins, and unto faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. God will hold us accountable for their blood if we fail to warn them and they die in their sins. We must not be like dumb dogs who refuse to bark, and save people from danger. The Greek word for truth is Aletheia; for verity. Jesus said if you keep my commandments, you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. I pray that you will turn from your sins, and listen to the truth of the word of God. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ. Turn to the Lord and a time of refreshing will come over you.
#For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16
The Greek word for salvation is Soteria; for rescue or safety (physically or morally) to deliver health, and saving power. That is what the Word of God does for us when we believe it. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith. Now faith comes by hearing the Word of God, and when we act upon it then it will produce salvation. We must be doers of the Word, and not hearers only deceiving ourselves. James 1:23-25 For if a man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Therefore make your election sure for pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. When we do this we are making our election sure and will receive a well-done good and faithful servant into the Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So be not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it gives us the power to inherit salvation when we place all of our weight into it. May the Lord bless you richly my brothers and sisters in the Lord and remember the poor, for God is a buckler to the poor.
