Proverbs Chapter 25

Welcome back to the Daily Proverbs with Daniah! In today’s proverb, Daniah offers insight into how being in sync with God’s timing can be critical. This can apply to the timing of speaking, the timing of receiving information, the timing of presenting details, and more. It even applies to the Books of the Bible! Likewise, your willingness to share the Gospel when the time is right can help someone else find freedom in Yeshua.

Scripture References:

Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a word aptly spoken. Like a gold earring or a gold ornament is a wise reproof to a receptive ear. Like the coolness of snow at harvest time is a faithful messenger to those who send him for he refreshes his master’s soul. Like clouds and wind without rain is one who boasts about a gift not given. Through patience a ruler may be persuaded, and a soft tongue can break a bone.

An Ethiopian Asks about Isaiah 53

Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Get up, and go south on the road going down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is a desert road.) So he got up and went. And behold, an Ethiopian eunuch—an official who was responsible for all the treasure of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians—had traveled to Jerusalem to worship and was now returning. Sitting in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.

The Ruach said to Philip, “Go, catch up with this chariot.”

Philip ran up and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”

“How can I,” he said, “unless someone guides me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. Now the passage of Scripture that he was reading was this:

“He was led as a sheep to slaughter;
and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so He opens not His Mouth.
In His humiliation justice was denied Him.
Who shall recount His generation?
For His life is taken away from the earth.”

- Acts 8:26-33 TLV
