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 it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them and rose up early in the morning and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, it may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. Job 1:5
Job, was such a godly man that he interceded for his children early in the morning, as he thought his sons had cursed God in their hearts. This is something that all fathers should do for their children. With many families being absentee fathers is taking a toll on families today and it is hard to find a job at such a time as this. May we see a great move of God in these last days before the tribulation starts. There will be an outpouring of the Spirit of God in these last days drawing the hearts of their fathers to their children. We have to hold them in our hearts as we intercede to God for their well being in this turbulent economy and coronavirus.
#There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job and that man was perfect and upright and one that feared God and eschewed evil. And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. His substance also was seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels and five hundred yokes of oxen and five hundred she asses and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east. And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and drink with them. Job 1:1-4
The book of Job is a very pertinent book in the Bible as it tells us how to abound and be abased to the glory of God. Job is the subject of the book, but it is really meant for all of us to take heed to. As we can see he was the richest man in the East, in the land of Uz, and he was perfect, which means he was mature in spirit, upright and one that feared God and avoided evil. When we do those things we too will be blessed beyond measure and should be on the lookout to not trust in uncertain riches, for they can be taken away. We must thank God for our blessings and our losses as well. So we will see how Job did this and we too must do it.
#Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints salute you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. II Cor. 13:11-14
Paul exhorts the church to be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Be at peace with all men and follow holiness. Then he gives the great doxology of the Church to greet one another with a holy kiss. With the coronavirus going around we can blow kisses at one another. Now the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all as we wait on the coming of the Lord to take us to heaven to live with him forever. Amen.
#For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. For we are glad when we are weak and ye are strong and this and this also we wish even your perfection. II Cor. 13:8-9
We are set free by the truth, as Jesus said ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. So we can do nothing against the truth but for the truth. Thank God ye are strong when we are weak. We wish even your perfection, as we wait on the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to give us our glorified bodies in the first resurrection. The world is isolating because of the coronavirus but we Christians are glorifying God for sanctifying us through his Spirit. So worry about nothing and pray about everything giving thanksgiving to God. We will be filled with the peace of God, He will keep him in perfect peace who keeps his mind on his Word. So read the Word of God and meditate on it continually for peace.
#Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye, not your own selves, how that Christ Jesus is in you, except ye be reprobates? But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should be approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we are as reprobates. II Cor. 13:5-7
Paul is telling the church to examine themselves to see if they are in the faith. We know the Spirit testifies to our spirit that we are the children of God so that we can know that we are indeed in Jesus Christ. and not reprobates. Then he says I pray to God that you do no evil, but that you should do that which is honest before God and man. Even though others will think of us as reprobates, they will see by our works that we are approved before God.
#For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they but we ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Romans 8:18-23
It is painful to see the crash of the stock market, but there is a worse crash coming than this. The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed in us. We are seeing the birth pains of the whole creation waiting for the redemption of our bodies, for the Lord will come and redeem us the firstfruits of the Spirit. As we groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit the redemption of our body into the glorious son of God. This time here on earth is about to come to an end and we are going to see the glorious coming of the kingdom of God. For the Lord, himself shall descend from heaven with healing in his wings and deliver the whole creation from the suffering of this present day. Lookup for your redemption draweth nigh.
#This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. I told you before and foretell you as if I were present the second time and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned and to all other, that if I come again, I will spare: Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For, we were also weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. II Cor. 13:1-4
Paul is giving the principle for Christian witness that in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. He warned those that sinned that he would not spare them a second time. Christ was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. We too also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. I am asking prayers for my daughter Rebekah who has a cyst on her placenta that is being investigated if it is cancerous, that God will heal her. Thank God for her for she is one year from being complete with her residency in Anesthesiology. Now by His stripes, we are healed and He sent His word and healed them of all their diseases.
#Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you? I desired Titus and with him, I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps? Again, think we that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ, but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall find you such as I would and that I shall be found unto to you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. II Cor. 12:17-21
Paul is concerned about the church in Corinth so he sent Titus and another brother unto them who walked in the same spirit as he did. We speak before you in God in Christ and all these things were for your edifying. Yet Paul feared that when he would come, he would find the church had sinned and not repented of their debates, envying, wraths, strifes, backbitings, gossiping, swellings and tumults. It is amazing how he had to bewail some as God humbled him of those that sinned and repented not of their uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. This sin is still rampant in the churches today and with the coronavirus going around it is a real shame for the church to be walking in impurity today. May God use this as a wake-up call for the people to turn to God in repentance and walk-in faith as well as love for the brethren. Happy Purim Day to all our Jewish brothers and sisters in Christ.
#And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. But be it so, I did not burden you; nevertheless, being crafty, I caught with guile. II Cor 12:15-16
Paul spent himself on the church more abundantly and loved them sincerely, yet he did not feel the love in return. Nevertheless, he was not a burden to the church but being crafty, he caught them with guile. We too can learn much from this experience from Paul and love deeply, even though we may not receive that same love in return. Our Lord came unto his own and they received him not. Yet too as many that did receive him became the sons of God.
#Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. II Cor. 12:14
This verse is perplexing as Paul does not want to be a burden to the Church and then he says the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. Clearly he is talking about money and support. Parents have a responsibility before God to lay up monetary support for their children, rather than the children for the parents. God said if a man will not provide for his household, he has denied the faith. So leaving a legacy for our children is a very important task that we have as parents. Not just money, but also a spiritual legacy of following God all our lives. We must read the word of God to our children and teach them the importance of keeping the commandments. This is how we lay up treasures for them that will not be taken away. Money can be taken away, but your spiritual gifts such as love, peace, joy, patience, meekness, faithfulness, and self-control will last forever. When parents do this they will not be a burden to their children, but a joy for leaving them a legacy that will not pass away.
