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.

#Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid, for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song, He has become my salvation. Isaiah 12:2 Trust in the Lord Jehovah at all times.

Therefore, with joy shall we draw water. out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, praise the LORD, call upon His name declare His doings among the people make mention that His name is exalted. Sing unto the LORD, for He hath done excellent things, this is known through all the earth. The Hebrew word for strength is Rowz, meaning strength in all applications.
Trust in the Lord Jehovah at all times, because He is my strength and my song. He has become my salvation. When you see the phrase "In that day," it denotes the end times prophecy of the last days before the kingdom of God comes to the earth. Jehovah God was angry with Israel, and when the times of the Gentiles come to an end, He will turn His attention back to the nation Israel as the apple of His eye. We must pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for they shall prosper who do so. Therefore, with joy shall we draw water out of the wells of salvation. We must sing praises to Jehovah God, for He alone is worthy of all our praises. We must call upon His name and declare His doings among the people and mention that His name is exalted. Jehovah God is our present help in a time of need. Now that the war with the United States and Iran has ceased, let us pray for peace and that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened. Let us thank the Lord that His anger is but for a moment, and His favor is for a lifetime.
#And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master sayeth, Where is the guesschamber, where shall I eat the passover with my disciples? Mark 14:14 Little children prepare for the Passover
And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give Him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray Him. And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, His disciples said unto Him where wilt thou go that we may prepare that thou may eat the passover? And He sent forth two of His disciples and said unto them go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared, there make ready for us, and His disciples went forth and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them, and they made ready the passover. And in the evening He cometh with the twelve. The Greek word for Passover is Pascha, meaning the meal of unleavened bread associated with Passover.
Little children prepare for the passover. The Lord Jesus is preparing the disciples for His death, burial, and resurrection, while Judas Iscariot prepares to betray Him for thirty pieces of silver. Jesus told them everything that was going to happen and where the meal would take place in a large upper room. We thank God that Jesus is our Passover Lamb, and that He went to the cross to die for our sins, and was buried and then raised on the first day of the week, Sunday. We call it Resurrection Day, and celebrate it during Passover.
#Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. Psalms 62:10 Be ye thankful
In God is my salvation and my glory, the rock of my strength, and my refuge is in God. Trust in Him at all times, ye people, pour out your heart before them, God is a refuge for us. Selah. Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie, to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. God hath spoken once, Twice have I heard this, that power belongeth unto God. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy, For thou renderest to every man according to his work. The Hebrew word for riches is Chayil, meaning strength and wealth.
Be ye thankful, and trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. For the love of money is the root of all evil, and many have become shipwrecked seeking after it. David is telling us that God is his refuge and strength, his salvation and his glory. We must trust in God at all times. because God is a refuge for us. Then beware, surely men of low degree are vanity. And men of high degree are a lie. God has spoken once, and power belongeth unto God. Trust that God rendereth to every man according to his work.
#Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God: For I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance. Psalms 42:11 Mental Health is important, and seek help from mental health professionals.
Yet the LORD will command His loving kindness in the daytime and in the night, His song shall be with me and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my rock, why hast thou forgotten me? Why am I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, my enemies reproach me while they say daily unto me where is thy God? The Hebrew word for health is Yshuw, meaning something saved, i.e. deliverance.
Mental Health is important, and seek help from mental health professionals while you can. May is mental health awareness month, and we must get past the stigma of mental illness. We are seeing in the news that many people are being broken by mental illness and paranoia. If you are hearing voices telling you to harm yourself or someone else, call or text 988 and get the help that you need. The psalmist is cast down, and he is calling out for God to save him. Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise Him who is the health of my countenance. I read this Psalm many times, and it is comforting to me.
Mental Health is important, and seeking help from mental health professionals. I spent time in mental hospitals because of hearing voices and was prescribed medication to stop the paranoia. I was thankful that my family stood by me in my time of need, and I was able to overcome the stigma associated with mental illness. Let us pray for more funding for Mental Health Hospitals, so that the people in need of help can get it. I hope to be a spokesperson for people needing mental health services and to tell people why they should not be ashamed to seek out help. May the Lord bless you richly, my beloved brothers and sisters.
#And Ruth said, entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee, for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest, I will lodge, thy people shall be my people, and thy God, my God: Ruth 1:16 Love thy mother-in-law as thy mother.'
Would ye tarry for then till they were grown? Would ye stay for them from having husbands? Nay, my daughters, for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me. And they lifted up their voices and wept again. And Orpha kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave unto her. And she said behold thy sister-in-law is gone back unto her people and unto her gods, return thou after thy sister-in-law. Where thou dies, I will die. And there will I be buried. The LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her. So the two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them. And they said, " Is this Naomi?
Love thy mother-in-law as thy mother. Ruth is an amazing daughter-in-law in that she loved her mother-in-law as her mother, whereas Orpha left her to return to her people and her gods. This saying whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest, I will lodge, thy people shall be my people, and thy God, my God. Ruth became a believer in Jehovah God, and for this reason, she is in the lineage of the Lord Jesus Christ. We need daughters to love their mothers-in-law more, as this is a source of much conflict in marriages. I would recommend that all husbands have their wives read the Book of Ruth, so they, too, can learn to love their mother-in-law as their mother. When my father passed away, my mother came to live with us for almost a year, but my wife had a problem loving her mother-in-law as her mother. To keep peace in the family, I had to ask my sisters to take care of our mother. Naomi was amazed at the love that Ruth had for her, and it would lead to her being married to Boaz, the kinsman redeemer for Ruth, and this is what the Lord Jesus does to us when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. What a great love story, and the Bible is full of them.
#Ye have sown much, and bring in little, ye eat but have not enough, ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm, and he that earneth wages, earneth wages to put it in a bag with holes. Haggai 1:6 You sowed much but have little
Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, Is it time for you, O ye that dwell in your cieled houses and this house lie waste? Now therefore, thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider your ways. Thus says the LORD of hosts, Consider your ways, go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD. Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to little, and when you brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because my house is a waste, and ye run every man to his own house. The Hebrew word for holes is Naqab, meaning to puncture literally with violence.
You sowed much but have little. Jehovah God is angry that the people are building glass houses to live in while the LORD's house is in ruins. So the LORD has allowed them to earn wages to put in bags with holes. The Holy Spirit told me to Blog about this because my pants have holes in them, and I need to have them repaired. God is telling us to repair our relationship with the LORD, and He must be glorified with first place in our lives. We must give God the first fruits and not the leftovers. I pray that America, which is celebrating 250 years, would give God all the glory for saving us to be one nation under God, undivided with liberty and justice for all. Let us seek God with all our hearts and remember that we were immigrants too, and stop the violence by loving thy neighbor as thyself. Then we will sow much and bring in much to the glory of God.
#Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 Happy Memorial Day!
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you. And that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you. Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call ye not servants, for a servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you. You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go forth and bring fruit, and that your fruit should remain that whatsoever you ask of the Father in my name He may give it you. The Greek word for friends is Philos, meaning an associate.
We celebrate Memorial Day for all the soldiers who served in the military and made the ultimate sacrifice. We thank President Lyndon Johnson, who made the last Monday in May a holiday for this reason. Let us give thanks to God for sending His Son to die on the cross for all the sins of the world, and He has called us friends, because He told us all that the Father commanded Him to do. Let us love one another as God has loved us. Now if we ask anything according to His will, the Lord will grant it unto us. We will enjoy today and praise God for all of His goodness unto the sons of men.
#Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall. 1 Corinthians. 10:12 Take heed lest ye fall into sin
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by the serpents. Neither murmur ye as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them by ensamples, and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. There hath no temptation taken you, except that which is common to man, but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will with the temptation make a way of escape that ye will be able to bear it. Wherefore my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men, judge ye what I say. The Greek word for take heed is Blepo, meaning to look
Take heed lest ye fall into sin, as Paul is admonishing us to look out for being proud of our standing firm from temptation. For all temptation is common unto man, and God is faithful who will not suffer us to be tempted above that which ye are able, and He makes a way for you to escape so that ye may be able to bear it. This is a memory verse that you must live by, and make sure that you commit it to heart and do not forget it. The Holy Spirit will remind you when you are being tempted to always look for an escape. This verse has saved me all my Christian life, and I only wish I had learned of it sooner. My mother gave this verse to me as a child to remember, and I thank the Lord that she did. That is why I am blogging about this verse today, so that you will take heed lest ye fall into sin.
# Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them that love Him. James 1:12 Be faithful until death, and ye shall receive the crown of life.
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted, but the rich in that he is made low, because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen than the burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth. So also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God, for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempted He any man. But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his lust and enticed, then when lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death. The Greek word for temptation is Peirasmos, meaning "putting to the test."
Be faithful until death, and ye shall receive the crown of life. The Lord will give the crown of life to all who endure temptation and are martyrs in death. That is why James the apostle preached on this: he, too, was a martyr who endured death for the Lord Jesus Christ. We must never blame God for our temptations, for God does not test us with evil, but He does test us to do good, as He did with Job. But every man when he is tempted is drawn away by his lusts, and when lust is conceived it brings forth sin, and sin when it is finished results in death, spiritual death, and then physical death.
Be faithful until death, and ye shall receive the crown of life. So rejoice in the Lord always, and give thanks that He does not allow you to be tempted more than you can bear, but with the temptation provides a way of escape so that you can endure it. May the Lord bless you and keep you is my prayer, and give thanks in all things, for this is the will of Christ Jesus in us.
# Let the husband render unto the wife, due benevolence, and also the wife unto the husband. 1 Corinthians 7:3 In marriage, say yes
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me, it is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife and let every wife have her own husband. The wife hath not power over her own body but the husband. And likewise the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one another, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. The Greek word for benevolence is Eunoia, meaning kindness and marital conjugal duty.
In marriage, say yes, because you give up your right to own your body when it comes to conjugal duties as husband and wife. This is what causes conflicts in marriage when one spouse is denying the other spouse their conjugal duties. Defraud ye not one another, except it be with consent for a time. So this should be a time that both of you can agree on, so that Satan will not tempt you for your incontinency. Failure to abide by these guidelines is what causes infidelity in marriage. Paul is speaking this by permission, and not commandment, yet he is inspired by the Holy Spirit to say these things to us.
In marriage, say yes, because when things are not right in the bedroom, they are not right in other rooms of the house. Be ye kind one to the other, and tender-hearted, forgiving one another as God in Christ Jesus has forgiven you. Do not let the sun go down on your anger, but work things out before you go to bed. A nice romantic massage will put the two of you in the mode for rendering due benevolence to one another. Only say wait a while if you mutually agree to fasting and prayer for a season.
