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.

#Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 1 Corinthians 7:3
The Greek word for benevolence is Eunoia; for goodwill, from the same Eunoeo; for kindness, euphemistically, conjugal duty. Song of Solomon 1:7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions? Song of Solomon 1:13 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts. The Hebrew word for love is Aheb. Marriage is based on intimacy and Paul is giving his advice to husbands and wives to have due benevolence from one to the other just as Solomon describes the love of the Shulamite woman to her husband. Their wife's breasts should ravish their husbands at all times. This is how to keep the romance in your marriage. Only come apart for a season for fasting and prayer, then come back together so that you will not be tempted. Make a New Year's Resolution to be more intimate with your spouse, and let the world see how marriage is when couples love one another as God has commanded. Just love one another as Christ loves the Church and gave His life for her. When husbands do that the wife will respond with love for him. Song of Solomon is a great poem to read, for it is Hebrew poetry, and it tells the story of the love that Solomon had for the Shulamite bride. We as preachers have not taught enough about the Song of Solomon, partly because some say you cannot use these terms in the pulpit. Well if we do not tell the congregation how marriage is supposed to be, then they will learn on the Internet or from Chatbots, which are robots preaching to people.
#This is the day which the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24
Happy New Year! 2025 The Hebrew word for glad is Samach; meaning to rejoice. To brighten up, to be gleesome. To cheer up, and make joyful. As we rejoice to see another year, we thank God for delivering us from all the trials and tribulations of last year. John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. This is the blessed hope that we have in the Lord Jesus Christ. Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. So let us live this day with joy knowing that the Lord could come and take us to heaven at any moment. So live each day rejoicing in the Lord and let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus Philippians 2:6 Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in the fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto to death of the cross. Wherefore, God has also hath highly exalted Him and given Him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God. This is why we rejoice in this day.
#For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11
The Hebrew word for thoughts is Machashebeth; for cunning work, curious work, imagination, means, and purpose. From Chashab; a contrivance, i.e. (concretely) a texture, machine, (abstractly) intention, plan (whether bad, a plot, or good advice) We are on the brink of 2025, and it is good to know that Jehovah God has a plan for us, of peace, and not evil, to give us an expected end. Jeremiah was the true prophet. For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not called them, saith the LORD. For thus saith the LORD, that after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. Then shall ye call upon Me, and ye shall go and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek Me and find Me when ye shall search for Me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD, and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. Thank Jehovah God, who is forgiving, and will restore us when we seek Him with all our hearts. Do not listen to the false prophets telling lies, or your dreams. Turn to the Lord with all your heart and acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will direct your pathway.
#This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth but thou shalt meditate therein day and night that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success. Joshua 1:8
The Hebrew word for success is Sakal; meaning to be prudent, circumspect, and intelligent. God has called Joshua to lead the children of Israel. Psalm 119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. This book of the Law thou shalt meditate therein day and night. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? Thy word have I hidden in my heart that I shall not sin against God. This is the key to success and prosperity. Always start your day with the Word of God, and thank God for allowing you to see another day. For our times are in His hands. Seach me Oh God and know my heart, see if there be any wicked way in me, and if there be lead me in the way everlasting. Joshua did this and the Lord blessed him to lead the children of Israel into the promised land. Moses led them out of Egypt, into the wilderness, but the people murmured against the Lord, and Moses hit the rock when he was to speak to it to get water. Because of that disobedience, Moses was not allowed to lead the children of Israel into the promised land. This is a very important lesson for us to finish what we started. This is what Joshua did, for he said as for me and my house we shall serve the Lord.
#Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief: when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. Isaiah 53:10
The Hebrew word for prosper is Tsalach; for to rush; meaning to push forward. To break out, come mightily, to be profitable; a primitive root; to push forward, in various senses (literal or figurative, transitive or intransitive) 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. The Greek word for prospereth is Euodoo; for to have a prosperous journey. From a compound of Eu and Hodos; to help on the road, i.e. (passively) succeed in reaching; figuratively, to succeed in business affairs. Here we see Jehovah God causing our Lord Jesus to be bruised for our transgressions, and put Him to grief, and made His soul an offering for sin, and Jesus saw His seed and prolonged His days and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. This means success for God wants us to prosper in business, and most importantly to have good health. This does not mean we will not get sick physically, but spiritually we are healed by the stripes of the Lord Jesus
#LORD, make me to know mine end and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. Psalm 39:4
The Hebrew word for frail; is Chadel; for lacking or forbearing. destitute and vacant. From Chadal; vacant, i.e. Ceasing or rejected. Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised and we esteemed Him not. The Lord Jesus took upon Him the form of a man lacking in beauty, and we despised Him and esteemed Him not. He did all of this so that we could be redeemed from the curse of sin and death. The Psalmist is saying Jehovah God make me to know my end, and the measure of my days. We start out as a baby, turn into a teenager, and become a man, then an old man. Our life is a vapor, we appear today and we are gone tomorrow. It is for this reason we must apply our hearts to wisdom. For it is appointed unto man once to die and after that the judgment. We will have to give an account of our lives, and how we used the time that was allotted to us, For there is a time to be born and a time to die. Therefore, use all your time for the glory of God, for this is the chief end of man. Live today as if it is your last day, and when you hear His voice harken unto it. For now is the day of salvation. Receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then you will be prepared for eternity. For the books will be opened, and all those whose names are not written in the Lamb's book of life, will be cast into the Lake of Fire, this is the second death. The Spirit and the Bride say come, and drink of the water of life freely, for whoever drinks of that water living wells of eternal life will flow out of him. It is my prayer to you will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved and thine house.
#If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
The Greek word for confess is Homologeo; for to speak the same, and to agree with God. From a compound of the base of Homou and Logos; to assent, i.e. Covenant, acknowledgment is made and thanks and promise. The question was asked if God forgives us when we confess our sins, why does He still punish us? In the case of David and Bathsheba when Nathan came to David and told him the story about the rich man who had many sheep and took the poor man's lamb. Then David said he must be killed for this. Then Nathan said thou art the man, and King David was sorrowful and in Psalm 51 he confessed to God restore unto me a pure heart, and take not thy Spirit from me. Nathan said God has forgiven you, but the baby born will die. The reason God punished King David a man after His own heart is because Old Testament saints were under the law, but we in the New Testament are under grace. We also have the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit within us. So we must agree with God when we confess, and not try to reason with God. The scripture says let us reason together, though your sins were a scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. God forgave King David, but the enemies of God blasphemed King David for what he did, being a man after God's own heart. We have an advocate with the heavenly Father who is interceding for us. So we must be quick to confess all known sins, and the blood of Jesus will cleanse us from all unrighteousness when we confess to God. Then as Jesus told the woman caught in adultery, neither do I condemn thee, go and sin no more. This New Year, turn over a new leaf, read the Bible daily, and pray the Lord's Prayer.
#And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel and the Holy Ghost was upon him. Luke 2:25
The Greek word for consolation is Paraklesis; for a calling to one's aide, encouragement, and comfort. From Parakaleo; imploration hortation, solace, comfort, exhortation, or intreaty.2 Corinthians 8:4 Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. This is what Simeon was doing as he was just and devout and filled with the Holy Spirit praying that he would not see death until he saw the salvation of Israel. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before, he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple and when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do to him after the custom of the law, Then took he Him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before all people: A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. Oh, praise the Lord for this great light which has shone on all people. May we live according to the light of your word, and thank you Lord for the testimony of Simeon. And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. And Simeon blessed them and said unto Mary His mother, Behold, this Child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel and for a sign which shall be spoken against (yea, a sword shall pierce through thy soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
#But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Luke 2:19
The Greek word for pondered is Symballo; for to throw together, to discuss, consider, and meet with. Merry Christmas everyone! Just as the Virgin Mary considered all these things in her heart, we must do the same. Acts 18:27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he came, helped them much which had believed through grace. Let us thank the Lord that through the storms He kept us by His grace, just as Paul was kept through the grace of God. He mightily convinced the Jews publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. When eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, His name was called JESUS, which was the named of the angel before He was conceived in the womb. Thank God for the Virgin Mary as she taught us how to remain humble when God uses you mightily for His glory. May we celebrate the holiday pondering the grace of God, who sent His only begotten Son into the world to save us from our sins. It is my prayer that you will accept Jesus as your Personal Lord and Savior.
#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
The Greek word for swaddling clothes is Sparganoo; for to wrap in swaddling clothes; From Sparganon (a strip; from a derivative of the base of Sparasso; meaning to strap or wrap with strips) to swathe (an infant after the Oriental custom) Leviticus 16:32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments: Merry Christmas and thank the Lord that Jesus was wrapped in swaddling clothes as a Babe to symbolize His High Priestly ministry He would perform for us by dying on the Cross for our sins. Joseph and Mary paid their taxes and in the fullness of time, the Babe Jesus was born and laid in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. What a tragedy, as the Lord Jesus coming had been told by the prophet Micah and still they were not prepared for Him in the inn. today there is still no room for Jesus, as the world looks for Santa Claus coming down a chimney to give presents to all the good boys and girls. Jesus came to give salvation to all who have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. What a contrast, as there was non-righteous, no one, but God commended His love for us in that while we were yet sinners God sent His Son into the world to die for us. Galatians 4:4,5 But when the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Matthew 5:17 Think not that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. Praise the Lord He is fulfilling the law, wrapped up in swaddling clothes by the Virgin Mary, the Mother of the Lord Jesus. If that is not love, then tell me what is? Jesus loved us so much that He became a Baby and then the Savior of the world. This Christmas celebrate Jesus Christ and give someone the greatest gift by telling them about Him.
