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.

#Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. But as for me, my feet were almost gone: my steps had well nigh slipped. For I was envious at the foolish when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For there are no bands in their death but their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. They are corrupt and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. They set their mouth against the heavens and their tongue walketh through the earth. Therefore his people return hither and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. And they say, how doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? Behold, these are ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain and washed my hands in innocence. For all the day long have I been plagued and chastened every morning. If I say, I will speak thus: behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. Psalm 73:1-17
Asaph is writing this Psalm and he starts out by saying God is good to Israel even to such as are of a clean heart, but then he says my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. For I was envious of the foolish when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Until he when into the sanctuary of God, then he understood their end. We must learn how to dwell in the sanctuary of God so that we too do not become envious of the foolish and the wicked. For there God deals with our heart and shows us their end. Yes, God is good to Israel and such as are of a clean heart.
#There shall be a handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. His name shall endure for ever: His name shall be continued as long as the sun and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed. Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be His glorious name forever and let the whole earth be filled with His glory; Amen and Amen. The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. Psalm 72:16-20
Jehovah God shall endure forever and all nations shall call Him blessed, the God of Israel who only does wondrous things. Let the whole earth be full of His glory; Amen and Amen. As these prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended and the third division of the books of the Psalms is about to start. What a joy to go through these Psalms every day.
#Yea, all kings shall fall down before Him: all nations shall serve Him. For He shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also and him that hath no helper. He shall spare the poor and needy and shall save the souls of the needy. He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence and precious shall their blood be in His sight. And He shall live and to Him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually and daily shall He be praised. Psalm 72:11-15
Jesus shall save the souls of the poor and needy, as well as those who have no helper. Thank God that He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence. Their blood shall be precious in His sight. What a God we serve. Prayer also shall be made for him continually and daily shall He be praised. Amen and Amen.
#He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. In his days shall the righteous flourish and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth. They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him and his enemies shall lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. Psalm 72:6-10
This is a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ, as His enemies shall lick the dust. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth. He shall rule in Jerusalem the capital of Israel and the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts to Him. There will be peace as long as the moon endures, for He shall rule with a rod of iron. What a time to be alive as we are seeing all the signs of the coming Kingdom. For the kingdoms of this world shall become the Kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ.
#Give the king thy judgments, O God and thy righteousness unto the king's son. He shall judge thy people with righteousness and thy poor with judgment. The mountains shall bring peace to the people and the little hills, by righteousness. He shall judge the poor of the people, He shall save the children of the needy and shall break in pieces the oppressor. They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. Psalms 72:1-5
A Psalm of Solomon to the Lord God that He will judge thy people with righteousness and the poor with judgment. This will happen when the Lord is ruling in the Millienial Kingdom on earth the Government will be on His shoulders and He shall be the Prince of Peace. Then he shall judge the poor of the people, He shall save the children of the needy as well as break the hands of the oppressor in pieces. Those that fear thee will endure as the sun and moon.
#Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shall quicken me again and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. Thou shalt increase my greatness and comfort me on every side. I will praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seeks my hurt. Psalm 71:20-24
The Lord will raise me up from the grave and I will praise Him with the harp. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee and my soul which thou hast redeemed. For thou art worthy of all our praises and we serve you as others have served you on the Martin Luther King day. We too can dream that one day we will overcome when we see Jesus in that great getting up morning.
#My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even thine only. O God, thou hast taught me from my youth and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation and thy power to everyone that is to come. Thy righteousness also, O God is very high, who has done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! Psalm 71:15-19
Twice the Psalmist has made mention of the Lord not forsaking him when he is old and gray-headed until he has shewed thy strength unto this generation and thy power to everyone that is to come. What a blessing it is to grow old in wisdom and grace of the Lord to share the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Therefore listen to me my children and children of my children. For God is good and his mercy endures to all generations. Be careful how you live and be sure to give glory to the God most High.
#I am as a wonder unto many, but thou art my strong refuge. Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honor all day. Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. For mine enemies speak against me and they that lay wait for my soul counsel together, saying God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. O God, be not far from me O my God, make haste for my help. Let them be confounded and consumed that are my adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt. But I will hope continually and will yet praise thee more and more. Psalm 71:7-14
God is concerned about us even when we are in old age. The Psalmist cries out for God to not cast me off in my old age. But my hope will be continually in thee and I will yet praise thee more and more. No matter what you are going through now, take time to praise God, for He will not forsake you and will see you through until the end. Oh God makes haste to help all those who are working without pay in the government shut down. Thank you for all those helping the needy and the poor for God will make a way for you too in your time of need.
#In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me and save me. Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me, for thou art my rock and fortress. Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. For thou art my hope Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth. By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art He that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee. Psalm 71:1-6
The Lord Jesus is the one that took you from your mother's bowels, therefore praise Him forever. Be there our strong habitation whereunto I may continually resort O God. For thou art worthy to be praised.
#Make haste, O God, to deliver me: make haste to help me, O LORD. Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and put to confusion that desire my hurt. Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that says Aha, aha. Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee and let such as love thy salvation say continually let God be magnified. But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying. Psalm 70:1-5
David calls to remembrance this prayer to Jehovah God to make haste to deliver him. Three times he says make haste, which tells us how desperate he is for deliverance from those that would desire his soul. He cries out O God thou art my help and my deliverer, O Jehovah make no tarrying. We are in the midst of a Government shut down and people are not being paid. O God please save to the uttermost those that call on thee for salvation, for the help of man is vain. I am poor and needy, O God save us from the greedy that take the poor for hostages. Save O God, as only thou can do is our prayer.
