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 He beheld them and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever, it shall fall, it will grind them to powder. Luke 20:17,18
#And it came to pass, that on one of those days as He taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, the chief priests and scribes came upon Him with the elders. And spake unto Him saying tell us by what authority doest thou these things? or who is He that gave thee this authority? And He answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing and answer me. The baptism of John, was it from heaven or of men? And they reasoned with themselves saying if we shall say from heaven, why then believe ye him not? But if we say of men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet. And they answered that they could not tell whence it was. And Jesus said unto them Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. Luke 20:1-8
#Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto Him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And He answered and said unto them, I tell you that if these should hold their peace the stones would immediately cry out. Luke 19:38-40
#He said, therefore a certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. And he called his ten servants and delivered them ten pounds and said unto them Occupy till I come. But his citizens hated him and sent a message to him saying we will not have this man to reign over us. And it came to pass that when he had returned having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him to whom he had given the money to know how much they had gained after the trading. Then came the first saying, Lord thy pound hath gained ten pounds. And he said unto him Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little have thou authority over ten cities. And the second came saying Lord thy pound hath gained five pounds. And he said to him likewise be thou over five cities. And another came saying Lord, behold here is thy pound which I have kept laid up here in a napkin. For I feared thee because thou art an austere man thou takest up that thou layedst not down and reapest that thou have not sowed. And he said out of thine own mouth will I judge thee thou wicked servant thou knowest that I was an austere man taking up that laid not down and reaping that I did not sow. Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? And he said unto them that stood by, take from him the pound and give it to him that hath ten pounds. (And they said unto him Lord he hath ten pounds.) For I say unto you, that unto every one which hath shall be given and from him that hath not even that he hath shall be taken away from him. But those enemies of mine which would not that I should reign over them bring hither and slay them before me. Luke 19:12-27
#And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And behold there was a man named Zacchaeus which was the chief among the publicans and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who he was and could not for the press because he was little in stature. And he ran before and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him and said unto him, Zacchaeus make haste and come down for today I must abide at thy house. And he made haste and came down and received Him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all murmured saying, that He was gone to be a guest with a man that is a sinner. And Zacchaeus stood and said Lord, behold, Lord the half of my goods I give to the poor and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. And Jesus said unto him this day is salvation come to this house, for so much as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:1-10
#Then took unto Him the twelve and said unto them, behold we go up to Jerusalem and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. For He shall be delivered unto the Gentiles and shall be mocked and spitefully entreated, and spat on: and they shall scourge Him and put Him to death and the third day He shall rise again. Luke 18:31-33
#And a certain ruler asked Him saying Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is God. Thou knowest the commandments, do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honor thy father and thy mother. And he said, all these have I kept from my youth up. Now when Jesus heard these things, He said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast and distribute unto the poor and thou shall have treasure in heaven and come, follow me. And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. And when Jesus saw that he was sorrowful, He said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Luke 18:18-25
#And they brought unto Him also infants, that He would touch them, but when the disciples saw it they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto Him and said suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. Luke 18;15-17
#And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint. Luke 18:1
#And when He was demanded of the Pharisees when the kingdom of God should come, He answered them and said the kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or there! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you. And he said unto the disciples the days will come when ye shall desire to see of the days of the Son of man and ye shall not see it. And they shall say to you see here: or, see there go not after them or follow them. For as the lightning that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in His day. But first, must He suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. Luke 17:20-25
