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.

#Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. Micah 7:5 Put not thy confidence in man whose breath is in his nostrils.
The Hebrew word for confidence is Batach, meaning to take refuge, to trust, and to hope. The good man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity. Put not thy confidence in man, whose breath is in his nostrils. For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. Therefore, I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy; when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.
Micah is telling us the truth of life, Put not thy confidence in man whose breath is in his nostrils. Keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. It means your wife cannot even be trusted. This is something Samsom learned the hard way. All of our trust and confidence must be in God, who cannot lie. We have this confidence as an anchor to our souls. David said all men in haste are liars, and we can be sure of that, so some things you must hold confidence in Jehovah God only. When we stand before Judgement Day, we will know how God has saved us from the perils of others who lie about us. It is my prayer that you will put a guard about your tongue, and keep a watch over thy mouth in the presence of the wicked. For the Lord only can be trusted with the secrets of our hearts. Put not thy confidence in man, whose breath is in his nostrils. This command must be followed at all times if we are to be secure.
#Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Proverbs 30:5 Trust in the Lord at all times
The Hebrew word for pure is Tsaraph, meaning to fuse, i. e. refine as the goldsmith melts, and purge away. Solomon is the wisest man to have lived, and he has learned the secret of the word of God being pure. Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man. I neither learned wisdom nor have knowledge of the holy. Trust in the Lord at all times. Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name, if thou canst tell? Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither riches nor poverty; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
Trust in the Lord at all times, and pray that you will not be rich or poor. Solomon was the richest man, and he desired wisdom above riches. So God blessed him with both, so that he could understand the way of folly from wisdom. Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty. Every word of God is pure, and He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine understanding, but in all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy pathway. All work is profitable, but talk tends to poverty. Walk with the wise, and you will be wise, and allow the Lord to purge you of dross, as the goldsmith melts it away from gold and silver.
#Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Luke 10:20 Rejoice because your name is in the Lamb's book of life.
The Greek word for spirits is Pneuma, meaning a current of air, i.e., breath or a breeze, vital principle, mental disposition. Jesus has commanded, and the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Rejoice because your name is in the Lamb's book of life. In that hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
All things are delivered to Me of my Father, and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. And He turned him unto His disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: Rejoice that your name is in the Lamb's book of life in heaven, and one day we will gather around the throne and sing praises to His name for revealing all these things unto babes. Suffer the little children to come unto Me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. So never be afraid of all these things, but rejoice in the Lord always. Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus who humbled Himself unto death on the cross, and now is exalted unto the right hand of the Father in heaven interceding for us. There is no other Mediator than Jesus Christ who has revealed the Father unto us, so rejoice in this truth.
#For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Romans 8:13
The Greek word for mortify is Thanatoo, meaning to put to death, to kill, or become dead. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by the Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Therefore, my brothers and sisters in Christ, let us put to death the deeds of the flesh, and walk in the Spirit so that we shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Paul has learned the secret to living victoriously the Christian life, by the Spirit of God that dwells in us. That is why he could say for me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. So let us cry Abba Father, which is Daddy, who has adopted us that we should receive the Spirit, and bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. Let us live a life pleasing to God by putting to death the deeds of the body. So the next time your flesh tries to tempt you, remind it that Christ now lives in me, and this life that I live is by the power of His Holy Spirit that dwells in me. Do not quench the Spirit, but yield to the Spirit every day, by saying yes, Jesus, to your will and to your way. I delight to do thy will my God, keep me in the palms of your hand so that I will not yield to the flesh.
#And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. Deuteronomy 30:6 Love is the fulfillment of the law
The Hebrew word for circumcise is Muwl, meaning to cut short. Moses is telling us that Jehovah God has to cut short our hearts to teach us to love Him, with all our heart, mind, and soul. Then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will He fetch thee. And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and He will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
Love is the fulfillment of the Law, and God is teaching the children of Israel this important lesson. These are examples for us so that we too can learn the importance of loving the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, and soul. And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all His commandments which I command thee this day. And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as He rejoiced over thy fathers: Love is the fulfillment of the law, and the blessing of Jehovah God will be upon thee when you do it. We are under grace, but the law serves as our schoolmaster to lead us to the Lord Jesus Christ. Then we are blessed in the city and the country, wherever the Lord will send us. For He will joy over thee in singing, so let us sing praises to His holy name, for He is worthy of all our praises.
#For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, Philippians 1:19
The Greek word for supply is Epichoregia, meaning contribution. The one preaches Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel. What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretense, or truth, Christ is preached, and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. Paul has learned to be content in whatever state he finds himself in and defends the gospel being preached. According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
Paul is teaching us how to live the Christian life and be content in the Lord Jesus Christ, for without Him, we are nothing at all. So let Jesus Christ be magnified in my body, by life or by death, and I will rejoice. I am facing a trial, and a dear brother in Christ is assisting me at this time. God is faithful and has promised never to leave us or forsake us. I thank God that He provides for all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus our Lord. Do not despair when you are facing trials and tribulations, for these are producing patience for us in Christ Jesus, and we shall be better Christians for doing so. May the Lord bless you all, my fellow servants who are being persecuted for your faith, for that will turn out to be a better reward. Let Christ be exalted in my body, too, by life or by death.
#Moreover, when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Matthew 6:16 Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation
The Greek word for hypocrites is Hupokrites, for an actor under an assumed character. Jesus prayed and lead us not into temptation, but delivered us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever, Amen. Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. So be careful when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, or actors, for they disfigure their faces to appear unto men to fast. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face. That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation, and lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break in through and steal: Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all of these things shall be added unto you. God knows what we have need of so fast and pray, but not as the hypocrites, for they have their reward. Lay up your treasures in heaven, where no moth or rust doth corrupt. For those who are rich fall into a snare, and many harmful temptations, so watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation.
#Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: James 1:39 Be not soon angry
The Greek word for wrath is Orge; for desire, as a reaching forth or excitement of the mind: violent passion, indignation, or vengeance. Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits if his creatures. Be not soon angry, for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Be not soon to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools. So do not let the sun go down upon your wrath. Be angry, but sin not. Pray to God to help you control your anger, for vengeance belongs to God, and He shall repay. So give room for the Lord's wrath, and pray in wrath, remember mercy. Therefore, be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, and forgiving as God in Christ has forgiven you.
#Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Galatians 6:1 Let him that thinks he stands take heed, lest he fall
The Greek word for meekness is Praotes. Meaning gentleness and humility. Paul is admonishing the Galatians. Let him that thinks he stands take heed, lest he fall. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if a man thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. Let him that thinks he stands, take heed, lest he fall. For every temptation that comes to man is common to him, and God is faithful who will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able, and will with the temptation provide a way to escape so that ye can bear it. So consider yourself as a meek person, when seeking to restore a brother or a sister overtaken in a fault. It is so easy to say I would never do what they did, without realizing that we all have a sin nature, and is capable of sinning. Therefore, restoration must be done in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest ye also be tempted.
I thank God for this scripture, as an associate Pastor, I used this passage in the Bible to correct and to restore others, and it was used on me as well. None of us is above falling into sin. It is like the fly that saw the spider's web and thought he could put one foot at a time in it without being caught, but before he knew it, both feet were caught in the web. Sin is like that, so do not play around in the spider's web, or you will get caught, too. God always provides a way of escape for us when we are tempted, and we just have to take it. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Let him that thinks he stands take heed, lest he fall, for pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. So humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, and He will exalt you in due time. Do not make provisions for the flesh, but watch and pray. For the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. So pray to God not to lead us into temptation. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. In doing so, we are preparing ourselves for success. Always have a plan, because those who fail do it because they did not have a plan.

#The LORD liveth and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation. 2 Samuel 22:47 Jehovah God lives
The Hebrew word for rock is Tsuwr, meaning a refuge, and a sharp stone. Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be the head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me. Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me. Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places. Jehovah God lives, blessed be my rock and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation. It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me, and that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high, above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. Therefore, I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name. Jehovah God lives, and because He lives, I can face tomorrow. David has learned the secret to living a victorious life, and it is to rejoice in the rock of my salvation.
This is the meaning of a refuge, and a sharp stone, Jesus said On this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against her. I will praise Jehovah God always and give Him all my praises for He alone causes strangers to submit themselves unto me. Jehovah God lives, and He is blessed forever; the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Let the God of my salvation be exalted, for I will bow down before Him with rejoicing and sing His praises forever, for the Lord avenges me of all the lies my enemies have told against me. The Hebrew word for salvation is Yesha, for liberty, deliverance, and prosperity, as well as safety. For Jehovah God lives, let the God of my salvation be exalted. Isaiah 62:11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him. He is coming in judgment, to take vengeance on those who obey not this gospel. O praise His name forever, Jehovah God lives, and I will lift His name above all the nations. Let the people rejoice, rejoice, for the God of my salvation is exalted.
