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.

#And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And He said unto them: I beheld Satan as lightning, fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Luke 10:17-20
#After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place whither He Himself would come. Therefore said He unto them, the harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into His harvest. Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Luke 10:1-3
#And it came to pass that as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus said unto him foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head. Luke 9:57,58
#The Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and be slain and be raised the third day. And He said to them all if any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it, but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. Luke 9:22-24
#And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide and thence depart. And whosoever will not receive you when ye go out of that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them. Luke 9:3-5
#Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases. Luke 9:1
Jesus gave the disciples power and authority to cure diseases and cast out devils but He told them not to rejoice over that, the main thing that they were to rejoice over was that their name was written in the Lamb's book of life. That is what we can rejoice over to know that we will only have to die once and then we will be in the presence of the Lord forever. So as Jesus sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick, we too have a mission to occupy until He comes for us, or calls us home. May the Lord bless you, my brothers and sisters, to do this as we obey His very commands to be faithful in the vineyard.
#While He yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to Him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. But when Jesus heard it, He answered him saying, Fear not; believe only and she shall be made whole. Luke 8:49-50
#And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years which had spent all living upon physicians neither could be healed of any, Came behind Him and touched the border of His garment and immediately her issue of blood stanched. Luke 8:43,44
#And when much people were gathered together and were come to Him out of every city He spake by a parable: A sower went out to sow his seed and as he sowed some fell by the wayside and it was trodden down and the fowls of the air devoured it. And some fell upon a rock and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. And other fell on good ground and sprang up and bear fruit a hundredfold. And when he had said these things He cried: he that hat ears to hear, let him hear. Luke 8:4-8
#And it came to pass afterward, that He went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God and the twelve were with Him, And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward and Susanna and many others which ministered unto Him of their substance. Luke 8:1-3
