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.

#For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? Why am I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? Psalms 43:2
The Hebrew word for mourning is Qadar, meaning "to be ashy," i.e., dark-colored in sackcloth or sordid garments. Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God: for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. We are in despair because of the Arctic blast of cold weather, which has killed many people. Hope in God, for He is the health of my countenance, and my God. Do not be depressed, just thank God that He causes the sun to shine on the just and the unjust. Better days are coming, as David says I will go unto the altar of God, my exceeding joy, and upon the harp will I praise thee. What a joy to play a musical instrument and praise the Lord, as I play the piano and praise the Lord, and it takes all my depression away.

These Psalms are so comforting to us, and I thank the Lord for writing them back-to-back with praise reports. We often go mourning when we have sinned, and put on sackcloth, but it is a good thing to praise the Lord and give thanks unto Him because His mercy is everlasting. Thank God that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and there is now no condemnation unto those who are in Christ Jesus. Stop listening to the accuser of the brethren, Satan, who will remind us of our past sins, just remind him of hell that he is going to. God wants us to rejoice in the Lord always and give thanks unto Him for His abundant mercy and grace. This will keep your soul praising God and will deliver you from the deceitful and unjust man. O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me. Be thankful in all things for this is the will of God for us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
#In my Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2 A prepared place for a prepared person.
The Greek word for "mansions" is Mone, meaning "residence," i.e., "abode". Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto Him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by Me.
A prepared place for a prepared person. Jesus told the disciples about heaven and the Father's house with many mansions. This is such a joy to know that when we die in Christ, we change our earthly abode to our heavenly abode. This is very comforting as Jesus promised He is preparing a place for us. The thing for us to do is to prepare to go there. Thank God for doubting Thomas, who asks all the right things, as he said Lord, we do not know the way, and how can we know the way? Jesus then tells him I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes unto the Father without Me. Christianity is a narrow religion, for there are many religions and all say you can get to heaven, but only Christianity tells us that Jesus is the only way. We are walking a narrow road that few ever find. Broad is the road with many on it that leads to destruction. People, you must accept Jesus into your heart to get to heaven, cause He is the only way to the Father. A prepared place for a prepared person. It is so that you prepare for many things in life, and finally, we prepare to die, and go to heaven, our prepared place with the Father. I pray that if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Personal Lord and Savior, that you will do it today, because tomorrow is not promised to anyone. What a joy to close our eyes on earth, and open them in the arms of Jesus in heaven. This is the hope for every Christian who has placed their faith in Jesus. Stop procrastinating and do it today.
#Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence; and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 1 Corinthians 7:3 Couples render due benevolence to each other
The Greek word for benevolence is Eunoia, for goodwill. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband; and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
Couples render due benevolence to each other. The devil wants to break up your marriage and tempt you to commit adultery. So stop saying honey I don't feel like it. We do not do things according to our feelings; if we did, nothing would ever be done. Just render goodwill to your spouse, and in turn, you will receive it back. Marriage is under attack, and many are giving in to the devil's lies and defrauding one another. Remember how it was when you were dating, and you could not keep your hands off one another, just keep the fire of romance burning. Paul says only come apart for fasting and prayer, then come together again after a short time has passed. Paul is speaking by permission because he was celibate and never married. So he is not commanding us. However, we must abide in the state that God has called us, and those who are celibates remain celibates. Those who are married remain married. This is a gift from God, and we must accept it and give thanks to God for it. I will continue to Blog on this verse, because so many couples are struggling in this area. Pray to God to restore the love you once had for your spouse, so that you can render due benevolence again. Your marriage will be exciting again, and God will be glorified in your marriage.
#Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but towards thee goodness, if thou continue in His goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. Romans 11:22 Thank God for His goodness
The Greek word for goodness is Chrestotes, meaning usefulness, i.e., moral excellence in character and demeanor. Thou wilt say then, the branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. Well, because of unbelief, they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear. For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God can graft them in again. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Thank God for His goodness, that the wild olive branch, which is the Gentiles, has been grafted in because of the unbelief of Israel. We Gentiles must remain useful and morally excellent in character and demeanor, lest God cut us off too. For Israel is blinded now until the fullness of the Gentiles come in. So do not suppose the goodness of God will last forever. It is time to be thankful and walk in faith and godliness now until Jesus comes again. For He will descend from heaven with healing in His wings, and righteousness shall He bring unto the nations. Let us pray for the peace of Israel, that they will open their eyes to the goodness of God, and that they will thank Him for sending Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. Truly God is good, and His mercy is everlasting; therefore, let us walk in faith and victory, shouting His goodness forever.
#(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Romans 4:17 Thank God who raises the dead
The Greek word for quickeneth is Zoopoieo, meaning to make alive. For if they who are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. Therefore, it is of faith, that it might be of grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to only which is the law, but to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all the dead, and calleth those things which be as though they were. Who against hope believeth in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.
Thank God who raises the dead, and Abraham believed the report, and his body was made alive at 100 years old, not the deadness of Sarah's womb. So have faith in God and call those things which were not as though they are. Abraham, who is the father of faith, staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but stayed strong in faith, giving glory to God. Therefore, we too have hope that God will raise us from the dead. No matter what the doctors say, believe the word of God that was spoken to Abraham, and you, too, will see a great miracle. It is my prayer that all couples who have been told they cannot have children will have faith in God, as Abraham and Sarah did, and see the promised child born.
Thank God who raises the dead, and give glory to God, for to live is Christ and to die is gain. May we who live have this faith in God who raises the dead, and calls those things which were not as though they are. I praise God for answering my prayers to turn the freezing rain into sleet, and we never lost power during the ice storm. What a wonderful God we serve who provides for all our needs according to His riches in glory in the Lord Jesus Christ.
#Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever; with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. Psalms 89:1 The mercy of God is to all generations
The Hebrew word for mercy is Checed, meaning loving kindness, reproof, or good deed. For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever; thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish forever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah
The mercy of God is for all generations. We are the chosen seed of David by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and mercy shall be built up forever; thy faithfulness shall thou establish in the very heavens. We are seeing the heavens burst forth with rain, sleet, and ice, yet we are experiencing the mercies of the Lord. I thank God the power is still on, and I can blog to the glory of God. Let us sing of the mercies of the LORD forever, and with our mouths make known thy faithfulness to all generations. Thank God that in wrath He remembers mercy. His mercy is new every morning, and because of this, we are not consumed. Whom the Lord loves, He disciplines, and restores us in the faith. So despise not the discipline of the Lord, for it is to our good. We become holy and righteous because of it. David learned this lesson, and he said I will fall upon the mercy of the Lord because it is everlasting. So do not complain about the weather, because God causes His rain to fall on the just and the unjust, and His sun to shine on the just and the unjust. So give glory to God on this Lord's Day!
#No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Luke 16:13 Choose ye this day whom you will serve, as for me I will serve the Lord.
The Greek word for mammon is Mammonas, meaning riches, i.e., avarice, confidence in wealth. And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things; and they derided Him. And He said unto them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts, for that which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. The law and the prophets were until John; since that time, the kingdom of God is preached and every man presseth into it.
Choose ye this day whom you will serve, as for me I will serve the Lord. We cannot serve God and riches, so we must choose whether to serve the gods on the other side of the river. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. God knows what we need and will provide all those things that we need. Having food and clothing be therewith content, for we brought nothing into this world and we will leave with nothing. Lay up treasures in heaven where neither thieves nor moth will corrupt. A man's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses. It is not a sin to be rich, but it is a sin if our possessions have us. Remember the rich young ruler who said I keep the commandments, and Jesus marveled at him, so Jesus told him, " One thing thou lacks, go and sell thy possessions and give unto the poor, then follow Me. The rich young ruler bowed his head and turned away, because his sin was covetousness. God will test us with little before He trusts us with much. We who are rich must be free to give to all men, not just the ones we love, as this rich young ruler did. In America, even the poorest Americans are considered rich by third-world standards. So let us put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who has promised to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory. Men esteem riches more than faith, and this is an abomination in the sight of God. We walk by faith, and not by sight, which is the will of God for us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
#And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? Luke 16:12
The Greek word for faithful is Pistos, meaning reliable. And I say unto you, make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Jesus is presenting to the disciples the wisdom of this world and how to be friends of the mammon of unrighteousness, so that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. The test is he that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much. This is what we who have been sent into the vineyard for a penny a day, Jesus said what is right, I shall pay. So do not complain about your salary, use it to the glory of God, and He will reward you. Because he that is unjust in the least also is unjust in much. We must be faithful where God has planted us and give God the glory for all the things He is doing in our lives. So be reliable, and you will be trusted in much.
#Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. Joel 3:14 Jehovah God is coming.
The Hebrew word for decision is Charuwts, meaning incised or active, hence a threshing-sledge, determination. Assemble yourselves and come all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake; but the LORD will be the hope of His people, and the strength of the children of Israel. So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain; then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
Jehovah God is coming to judge the nations, and multitudes, multitudes shall be in the valley of decision. For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. People will be delusional and not know what to do. The day of the Lord comes in darkness, causing the sun and the moon to be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. Then Jehovah God also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth shall shake. God has promised to shake the heavens and the earth, but Jehovah God will be the hope of His people and the strength of the children of Israel. So stop your anti-semitism because God will judge all nations for the way they treated Israel. We must pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for they shall prosper who do so. Be ye also ready, for the Lord shall come as a thief in the night, and we must lift up our heads cause our redemption dwelleth nigh. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior, then do it today, because tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
#Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance. Psalms 42:5 We must always hope in God, for He is the help of our contenance
The Hebrew word for contenance is Paniym, meaning the face. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hemonites, from the hill Mizar. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
We must always hope in God, for He is the help of our contenance. We are facing an ominous forecast of an Arctic front bringing cold weather and ice, mixed with sleet or snow. Our face is down because of this calamity, but we must hope in the Lord as the Psalmist tells us. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? Hope thou in God, if he slay me I will worship Him, because He is the help of my contenance. I will praise Him because we are fearfully and wonderfully made. God said there will be seed time, and harvest, summer, and winter, and His grace is sufficient for us at all the times of the year. So do not stress out over the weather, but praise God who does all things well. Let us pray for the linemen who will be working to restore power from the ice, causing the tree branches to fall on them. Thank God for the meteorologist who has forecast this weather in advance to prepare our homes and secure the pipes from the freezing weather. The 2021 Polar Vortex was very difficult as we were below freezing many days, and burst pipes happened to many homes. We must wrap them now to prepare them for this Arctic blast. So hope thou in God, and that He will have mercy upon all of us in this extreme cold weather. Run your water cold and hot as a pencil stream if you choose not to turn off the water. Draining the pipes before turning off the water is best. Thank God that He will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me. I will pray to the Lord who is the God of all comfort, and trust Him to lift my face. Weeping may be in the night, but joy comes in the morning. The joy of the Lord is my strength. So remember to protect people, pipes, pets, and plants in this extreme cold weather.
