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 that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 1 Thessalonians 4:11 Study to be quiet, do your own business, and work
The Greek word for quiet is Hesuchazo, meaning to keep still, i.e., refrain from labor, melddlesomeness or speech, cease and hold peace. Paul is seeking to calm the Thessolonians about the coming of the Lord. A Pastor tells the story of a man who had a foolish son, so he told the boy I am going away, and guess who's coming, So keep quiet so they will not find out you are foolish. So the boy did that, and when the guest came, they asked the boy What is your name? He said nothing; then they asked him Where is your father? He said nothing. So the guest said, 'Are you a fool?' and left. Then the boy's father returned, and the boy said Dad, they found out anyway. Being quiet will usually save you, but not in this case. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath given unto us His Holy Spirit. But touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia; but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more. That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also who sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. Study to be quiet, do your own business, and work with your hands. This is what Paul wants the believers to do while they await the coming of the Lord. Death to the Christian is as sleep, and Paul wanted the Thessalonians to know this so they would not sorrow as those who have no hope. So study to be quiet, by tending to your affairs and not gossiping about others, and do your own business, and not meddle in other people's business, and work with your hands as you await the coming of the Lord. This verse should be a memory verse for everybody, to keep us at peace with all men. Jesus told us to occupy until He comes, so waiting for the Lord to return means we stay busy, and not be busybodies in other people's business. I pray the Lord will take this message and drill it in our hearts and minds, for the scripture said in the last days, multitudes will be in the valley of decision. This scripture will help us to make the right decisions in our Christian lives as we await the Lord's coming again.
Our prayers go out to all the families that lost loved ones in the Texas Hill county flood. May the God of all comfort strengthen you and know the children are in the arms of. Jesus.
#Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at His word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified; but He shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. Isaiah 66:5 Fear Jehovah God
The Hebrew word for LORD is Yhovah, for the self-Existent or eternal. Fear Jehovah God. For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD; but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. Fear Jehovah God, for that is the beginning of wisdom. He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them, because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear; but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. Fear Jehovah God and depart from evil. A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompense to His enemies.
Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Fear Jehovah God, for He is coming with great wrath upon His enemies. Call ye upon the Lord while He may be found. We are living in the days of apostasy, just before the coming of the Lord. For all those who fail to fear Jehovah God and believe His word, there will be given strong delusions, that they should believe the lies of the Antichrist. Believe the word of the Lord and return to Him while there is time. For many will be the afflictions of the righteous, but out of them all the Lord shall deliver them. I will call upon the Lord in the day of trouble, and He shall save me. May the Lord be magnified today, and let us rejoice in the fear of Jehovah God.
#For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel. 1 Corinthians 9:16 Preach the gospel
The Greek word for woe is Ouai; for Alas, a primary exclamation of grief. Paul is using his gift to preach the gospel and know woe, or alas, if he preaches not the gospel. Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? And those who wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. Preach the gospel. But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. What is my reward? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
#Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom He hath chosen for His inheritance. Psalms 33:12 Happy July 4th
The Hebrew word for Blessed is Esher, meaning happiness. For He spake and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: He maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the LORD standeth forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations. The LORD looketh from heaven; He beholdeth the sons of men. From the place of his habitation, He looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He fashioneth their hearts alike; He considereth all their works. Let us give thanks to Jehovah God for allowing the United States of America to celebrate its 249th Birthday. We thank God that the founders of this great Nation had a motto, " One Nation under God, with liberty, and Justice for all," and these words are blessing us. Let us live out the Constitution and celebrate our Democracy. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thus, the reason for our Nation being blessed. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to all people. Let us pray for this great country to live out these truths, as a nation of immigrants. I pray that families can have a good time celebrating the 4th of July, with fireworks and plenty of food. Let us remember all our veterans who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice. Greater love hath no man than this, than to lay down his life for a friend. I thank God for being faithful to His word. As I write, I am alone, but Jesus has promised never to leave us, or to forsake us, and to be with us until the end of the age. If it had not been for the LORD, my enemies would have destroyed me, but thanks to the faithfulness of the Lord, I pray for my enemies. Jesus told us to love our enemies and pray for those who despitefullly use us. Now let us give thanks to God for all of His goodness and mercy to us.
#And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst. John 6:35 Jesus is the bread of life.
The Greek word for bread is Artos. meaning a loaf. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto Him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. But I said unto you, That ye also have seen Me, and believe not. All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out. Jesus is the bread of life. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but of Him that sent Me. Faith is our victory over this world, and we must have faith in Jesus Christ as the bread of life, who will in no wise cast out, once you receive Him as your Lord and Savior. Why do you continue to spend money on that which is not bread? Money will not satisfy your eternal need, which is only fulfilled when you place all of your faith in Jesus Christ. Moses gave you bread to eat, but Jehovah God gives manna from heaven, in His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, who came down to die on the cross for our sins to pay for our debts that we could not pay. Jesus is the bread of life, so eat of Him and your soul will be satisfied forever in heaven. May the Lord give you comfort in these last days, for perilous times are here. Only Faith in Jesus, the bread of life, will save you, so it is my prayer that you will accept Him today as your Lord and Savior. Say, come into my heart, Lord Jesus, today, and forgive me of all my sins, and give me eternal life in your shed blood on Calvary. I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that you are Lord. If you have done that, then you have received Jesus as the bread of life today.
#And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalms 139:24 Search me, Oh God
The Hebrew word for everlasting is Owlam, meaning concealed, i.e., the vanishing point past or future, eternity, without end. Search me, Oh God, is the prayer of King David, and my prayer. As I write this Blog, my bank account is in negative balance, and I have never had this happen in all my life. I worked hard providing for my family, and now my children are successful, and my wife has been separated for almost nine years. Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. Search me, Oh God, and know my heart: try me and know my thoughts. I have been loaning money to a woman who lost her parents in a plane crash when she was 14, and her uncle, who was providing a home for her with his two kids. Now she is unable to pay me back as she promised, and scammers have made promises that have proven to be false regarding contest winnings. Search me, Oh God, I have always lived a righteous life, and why would all this evil happen to me? Why does the way of the wicked prosper? They do not suffer as other men do, and I am being chastened every morning. Help me, O God, to dwell in thy sanctuary, so that I will know thy end. It is time to seek the Lord early. My family has counted on me, and now I need help, and only the Lord can save me from this peril. Search me, Oh God, and know my ways and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. I worked for thirty-one years, and now retired on disability and a small pension. Truly, the Lord is God unto Israel, and all those who trust in him. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thy understanding, but in all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy pathway. Trust in the Lord and do good, and so shall thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. All the promises of God are yes, and we say Amen to His glory. I know that my redeemer lives, and He shall help me. The Lord knows the way that I will take, and though I am being refined in the furnace, I shall come forth as pure gold. My God shall deliver me from every evil way. I praise thee with all my heart, and thank you, Lord, for all my troubles, for it is then that I see all your faithfulness.
#And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2 Corinthians 12:7. His grace is sufficient for thee
The Greek word for revelations is Apokalupsis, meaning disclosure. Paul knew a man how he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. Of such an one will I glory; yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth; but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then I am strong. His grace is sufficient for thee. I have experienced the grace of God with my mental illness, and truly, it is sufficient, and I have learned to glory in my infirmities, as the power of Christ rests upon me. The experience of Paul with the thorn in the flesh is an example of how Satan can use a messenger to afflict us. We do not know if that was a demonic attack or if some theologians believe it was his eyesight, since he was blinded on the Damascus road for three days. Whatever it was, His grace is sufficient for thee. So no matter what you are going through, know that when we are weak, we are strong. God gave Paul this thorn in the flesh because of the abundant revelations that he had received, to prevent him from being exalted above measure. So thank God His grace is sufficient for thee too, and rejoice in weakness, insults, and trouble, for then the power of Christ rests upon you.
#Say unto them, As I live saith the Lord GOD. I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Ezekiel 33:11 Turn to the Lord and live
The Hebrew word for GOD is YHWH. A variation of Yhovah (used after Adonay, and pronounced by Jews as Elohiym, to prevent the repetition of the same sound, since they elsewhere pronounce Yhovah as Adonay). Turn to the Lord and live. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he does not turn from it, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? Turn to the Lord and live. Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness and commit iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
#What shall I render unto the LORD for all His benefits toward me? Psalms 116:12 Give unto the LORD the glory due His name
The Hebrew word for benefits is Tagmuwl, meaning a bestowment. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: I said in my haste, All men are liars. I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all His people. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. Give unto the LORD the glory due His name. I agree with King David, all men are liars, but thank God, Jehovah God can't lie. All of His promises are true, and we say Amen for His glory. We must praise God for His holiness and know that He is a good God at all times. Forever, Oh God is thy word true, and we can take this as an anchor for our souls that when we die, we will be absent from the body and present with the Lord, when we place all our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. So let us not sorrow as those who have no hope. Thank God that precious in the sight of Jehovah God is the death of His saints. The Lord looks down on the earth and pulls out one of His choice flowers to take to heaven. Yes, heaven is a beautiful rose garden, where we will bloom forever in the presence of the Lord. Do not weep as others who have no hope, for God weeps along with man. Just as Jesus wept over the death of Lazarus, and He said Lazarus, come forth, and out of the grave Lazarus arose, then Jesus said Loose him and let him go. I praise God that one day the Lord Jesus will descend from heaven with a shout, Come up Hither, and all those in the graves who trusted in Jesus will be raised to their glorified bodies, and those who are awake will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet sound will receive their glorified bodies. This is true because God has said it, and that settles it. It is Impossible for God to lie. So thank God death is not the end, but a coma, and waiting for the Lord to finish what He has started. May the Lord comfort all those who have lost a loved one; just know we are not lost in the presence of the Lord.
