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.

#I John, who also am your brother and companion in tribulation and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last and what thou seest, write in a book and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philidelphia, and unto Laodicea. Revelation 1:9-11
#Behold, He cometh with clouds and every eye shall see Him and them also which pierced Him and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come the Almighty. Revelation 1:7,8
#John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you and peace from Him which is and which was and which is to come and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness and first-begotten of the dead and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him, that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever Amen. Revelation 1:4-6
#The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John: Who bare record of the word of God and of the testimony of Jesus Christ and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Revelation 1;1-3
#Then opened He their understanding that they might understand the scriptures. And said unto them. Thus it is written and thus it behooved Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you, but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Luke 24:45-49
Jesus opened their understanding so that they could see that Christ had to suffer these things and rise from the dead the third day. Then He told them to wait in Jerusalem until they would receive the promise of the Father, the Holy Spirit ten days after His ascension. And it came to pass while He blessed them, He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. And they worshipped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
#And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulcher and found it even so as the women had said, but Him they saw not. Then He said unto them, O fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory? Luke 24:24-26
#And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, Father into thy hands I commend my spirit. and having said thus, He gave up the Ghost. Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God saying Certainly this was a righteous man. And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts and returned. And all His acquaintance and the women that followed Him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. And behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor and he was a good man and a just: (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them:) he was of Arimathaea a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. This man went unto Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. And he took it down and wrapped it in linen and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. And that day was the preparation and the Sabbath drew on. Luke 23:46-54
#And there followed Him a great company of people and of women, which also bewailed and lamented Him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem weep not for me but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bare and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, fall on us and to the hills, Cover us? For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? And there were also two others, malefactors, led with Him to be put to death. And when they came to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. And they parted His raiment and cast lots. Luke 23:27-34
#And as soon as it was the day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together and led Him into their council, saying art thou the Christ? tell us and He said unto them, if I tell you, ye will not believe and if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. Luke 22:66-69
#And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter and Peter remembered the word of the Lord how He said unto him before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out and wept bitterly. And the men that held Jesus mocked Him and smote Him. And when they had blindfolded Him they struck Him on the face and asked Him saying prophesy, who it is that smote thee? And many other things blasphemously spake they against Him. Luke 22:61-65
