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 Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head. Luke 9:58 We came into this world with nothing, and we will leave with nothing
The Greek word for nests is Kataskenosis, meaning a lodging. But He turned and rebuked them and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. 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 he said unto another, Follow Me, but he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead; but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee, but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
We came into this world with nothing, and we will leave with nothing. Jesus is telling us to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. Jesus came down from heaven to do the Father's will, to seek and to save the lost. He did not live in a mansion on earth, as He said the Foxes have holes and the birds have nests, but the Son of man hath no where to lay His head. Things are not important, neither is burying the dead, but our meat is to do the will of God and take this gospel to the ends of the earth. It is not a sin to have things, but if things have us, then that is idolatry. For the love of money is the root of all evil, and those who are rich fall into temptation and a snare, then they drown their hearts in perdition. Do the will of God and take up your cross, deny yourself, and follow Jesus.
When we do this, life will be much better for all of us, and looking forward to the New Year is hopeful. I enjoy feeding the birds because it reminds me that our Heavenly Father is watching over them, and how much greater are we than they? The cats like watching and catching the birds, too, so I am not happy about that. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and I am not happy about that either. My prayer is that God will lead me to help people find Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I will keep blogging and encouraging as many as I can to follow me, as I follow Jesus Christ. To live is Christ, and to die is gain. It is far better to be absent from the body and present with the Lord. Yet it is needful for me to wait on the Lord, to finish the work He has called me to do. So stop making excuses and get busy serving and following the Lord.
#Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. Job 1:10 Satan is limited by the hedge of protection around Job
The Hebrew word for hedge is Suwk, meaning to entwine, i.e., shut in for protection or restraint. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and from in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and escheweth evil? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their brother's house:
Satan is limited by the hedge of protection around Job. How we wish God would not mention our name before Satan to try and attack us, but God has all knowledge, and will not test us above that we are able, and will, with the test, provide a way of escape that we can bear. Thank God the hedge of protection is there to entwine us from the attacks of Satan. So, as we prepare to end 2025, we look back at all the tests we had to endure, and by the grace of God, we have been successful. Our God has supplied all our needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We see that Job lost his children and his wealth, but he never cursed God; instead, he said, 'Naked came I into this world, and naked shall I return.' The Lord gives and takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord. So this is the attitude that we must have as we prepare to enter the new year 2026; no matter what comes, the grace of the Lord is sufficient to see us through all the trials and tribulations. So gather your family and tell them to declare the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living, cause He alone is worthy of all our praises.
#And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the Inn. Luke 2:7 No room for Jesus
The Greek word for son is Huios, meaning a child, foal. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem (because he was of the house and lineage of David) to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And it was that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And Lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Merry Christmas. No room for Jesus as people have been partying and getting drunk, all the Inns are full, and there is no room for Jesus. What a tragedy on Christmas Day. But praise God for the shepherds who were there in the same country, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. I thank God that Jesus was born at night, because He came unto His own, and they received Him not, but to as many as believed on His name gave He the power to be sons of God. Thank God for Joseph being a faithful husband to Mary, His wife, and a descendant of David, who paid their taxes and wrapped the Baby Jesus in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger because there was no room for them in the Inn. Praise God for every heart that accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, because there will be many rooms in heaven for us to rejoice with Jesus. Our Lord became a man to save us from our sins by dying on the cross, shedding His blood for the remission of our sins, and rising the third day for our justification. Yes, there is room for Jesus, and there is room for you if you will, with childlike faith believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved and thine house. Thank God for the angels who told them Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. No discrimination, for there is room for everybody who believes by placing all their faith in Him.
#And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. Luke 2:1
The Greek word for taxed is Apographo, meaning to write off. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria) And all went out to be taxed, everyone into his own city, and Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem ( because he was of the house and lineage of David)
We know the Bible is true because taxes were imposed by the Roman Government, and the world is still being taxed. So, as we prepare to celebrate Christmas, everyone is thinking about the beautiful bill that just passed by Congress, saving billionaires millions of dollars. Jesus paid his taxes and told us to render unto Caesar what is due Caesar and to render unto God what is due God. So thank God that taxation proves the truth of the scriptures, and even though Kings nor their children paid any taxes, Jesus did and taught us to do so. Yet so many still seek to avoid taxation with excessive write-offs, and with Coinbase and Bitcoin. Pay your taxes as all good Christians do and help the Government to get out of deficit spending. So do not overspend on buying Christmas gifts, and rather give to the church and your favorite charities for write-offs on your taxes. So I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Taxation.
#And Mary said Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. Luke 1:38
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And behold, thy cousin Elisabeth she hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah; and entered into the house of Zacharius.
This Christmas Season, we will see that nothing is impossible with God. Mary believed the report of the angel, and the Holy Spirit would come upon her, and that same Holy Spirit is empowering us to defeat all the works of the devil. Jesus came so that we could have life more abundantly. Let us not look at the worldly things that will pass away, but let us fix our eyes upon Jesus, the Author and the finisher of our faith. I pray that if you are waiting upon the Lord to do a miracle in your life, then keep your eyes upon Jesus. I am looking for the blessed hope to appear in the second Advent and take us away to forever be with the Lord. Let us say, as Mary said, be it unto me according to thy word, The Logos and the Rema of God, and just as Jesus defeated Satan with scripture, we too shall do the same and be victorious.
#Being made so much better than the angels, as hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Hebrews 1:4
The Greek word for angels is Aggelos, meaning ministering spirits and a messenger of God. For unto which of the angels hath He said at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to me a Son? At Christmas, God sent His only begotten Son into the world, born of a Virgin Mary, and He became God man in that hypostatic union. He is 100% God and man, so that He could taste death for every man on the cross. The angels were ministering to the birth of Jesus by singing praises to God in the heavenly host.
Thank God for the angels who minister to us as spirits and protect us as we celebrate the Christmas Season and praise God. I hope that you will take time to glorify God and thank Him for sending His only begotten Son into the world. For God so loved the world that he gave us His Son so that whosoever would believe in Him would not perish but would have everlasting life. All those who will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Be careful to entertain strangers, for some have entertained angels unawares. The angels want to look into salvation, but they are not heirs to salvation. We are joint heirs with Jesus Christ by faith in the shed blood on the cross. Therefore, I am not ashamed of this gospel for it is the power of God unto all those who believe in Him. God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the world's; Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; So praise God Jesus is interceding for all those He has redeemed.
#And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation. Isaiah 25:9 Christmas was announced 700 years in advance
The Hebrew word for save is Yasha, meaning to be open, to free, or to succor. And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. And he will destroy in his mountain the face of the covering cast over all people and the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill. And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim; and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands, and the fortress of the high fort of the walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
Christmas was announced 700 years in advance, and the people who walked in darkness will have seen a great Light. As we celebrate the Season, let us remember the Lord Jesus was born a babe in Bethlehem to save us from our sins. He would be of the tribe of Judah, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces, and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from all the earth. This is why we rejoice in the Lord always, as Paul told us, and thank God for that indescribable gift. For the wages of sin are death, but the gift of God is eternal life. So make sure you have Jesus in your heart this Season, spreading the joy of Christmas.
#For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight. Matthew 3:3 Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father but by Him
The Greek word for Esaias is Hesaias, meaning an Israelite of Hebrew origin. In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, and saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and Judaea, and all the region round about Jordon, and were baptized of him in Jordon, confessing their sins.
Keep Christ in Christmas, as John the Baptist was the forerunner of our Lord, and He commanded that we repent and prepare the way of the Lord. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father but by Him. Let us rejoice in the Lord and thank God for sending His Son into the world to pay for our sin debt. For we are forgiven and set free from the penalty of sin and death when we place our faith in Him as our Lord and Savior. I pray that you will tell someone about this Babe in the manger this Christmas Season and tell them the good news that God became a man to save us from our sins. Be baptized and join the Church and worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
#In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. Matthew 2:18 Herod tries to spoil Christmas
The Greek word for Rama is Rhama, a city north of Jerusalem. And was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently asked of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet. But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying Arise, and take the young child and his mother and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life. And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Herod tries to spoil Christmas, but God took His life, and the baby Lord Jesus was saved in Egypt, fulfilling the prophecy of Jeremiah. Today, the Epstein files are supposed to be released, and we pray that all the children who were harmed by him will receive justice as the truth of what happened comes to light. Jesus loves the little children and said that if anyone tries to hurt those who believe in Me, it would be better that a millstone be tied around his neck and thrown into the ocean. What a judgment, and God will vindicate all those children who were exploited. Let us pray for them and wish them a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
#And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. Luke 2:16 Behold the Lamb
The Greek word for manger is Phatne, meaning a feeding trough. And suddenly, there was an angel, a multitude of the heavenly hosts praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which the shepherds told them, but Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.
Behold the Lamb, this is the Christmas blessing that the Lamb of God became a man and was born in a manger. A feeding trough, and rightly so, because He is the Logos, the living Word of God. What humility that our Lord would be born in such a way, and after the angels left and went to heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us go now even unto Bethlehem. These shepherds were despised and rejected, and they were going to praise a Savior who would be despised and rejected, a man of sorrows who would bear the sins of the world as the Lamb of God. We, too, must Behold the Lamb, for He has come bearing salvation. It is my prayer that you will put aside all shopping and take a moment to ponder these things in your heart, as Mary did. When you go to the Christmas parties, tell someone about Jesus as the shepherds did, and do not be ashamed of this gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation.
