When I would be confronting someone, people would say (iron sharpens iron). What ever that would mean? Then I ran across this verse and it was not as bad as I thought.
[Job 7:17] Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
[Iron - As hard iron, steel, will bring a knife to a better edge when it is properly sharpen against it: so one friend may be the means of exciting another to reflect, dive deeply into, and illustrate a subject, without which whetting or excitement, this had never taken place. That is, conversation promotes intelligence, which the face exhibits.
"But let me sharpen others, as the hone gives edge to razors, though itself have none."
The countenance - The company or conversation of one’s friend.
This intimates both the pleasure and the advantage of conversation. One person is nobody; nor will poring upon a book in a corner accomplish a person as the reading and studying of men’s will. Wise and profitable discourse sharpens one's wits; and those that have ever so much knowledge may by conference have something added to them. It sharpens one's looks, and, by cheering the spirits, puts a briskness and liveliness into the countenance, and gives a person such an air as shows he or she is pleased with themselves and makes them pleasing to those about them. Good people's graces are sharpened by converse with those that are good, and bad people's lusts and passions are sharpened by converse with those that are bad, as iron is sharpened by its like, especially by the file. Pleople are filed, made smooth, and bright, and fit for business (who were rough, and dull, and inactive), by conversation. This is designed:
1. To recommend to us this expedient for sharpening ourselves, but with a caution to take heed whom we choose to converse with, because the influence upon us is so great either for the better or for the worse.
2. To direct us what we must have in our eye in conversation, namely to improve both others and ourselves, not to pass away time or teasing one another, but to provoke one another to love and to good works and so to make one another wiser and better.]
Tried Genuine 'Friendship
[Job 7:10] Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
[Thine own friend - A well and long tried friend is invaluable.
Father’s Friend - One that has been a friend to thy family never forgets, and never neglect.
Neither go - And, in the time of adversity, rather apply to such a one, than go to thy nearest relative, who keeps himself at a distance.
Calamity - Do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity, for comfort and relief.
Better – the mere presence of the word ‘better’ does not automatically qualify a saying to fit into the better saying category. The use of the word better…than to express what is essentially a preference over one thing over another.
A neighbor - The friend, who hath showed himself to be a good neighbor.
Near - In affection.
Brother - A nearby neighbor is better than a distant brother is, particularly if the neighbors are longtime family friends.
Stick to tried friends. The ties of blood may be less reliable than those of genuine friendship.
A good reason given why we should thus value true friendship and be choice of it:
1. Because of the pleasure of it. There is a great deal of sweetness in conversing and consulting with a cordial friend. It is like ointment and perfume, which are very grateful to the smell, and exhilarate the spirits. It rejoices the heart; the burden of care is made lighter by unbosoming ourselves to our friend, and it is a great satisfaction to us to have their sentiments concerning our affairs. The sweetness of friendship lies not in hearty mirth, and hearty laughter, but in hearty counsel, faithful advice, sincerely given and without flattery, by counsel of the soul (so the word is), counsel which reaches the case, and comes to the heart, counsel about soul-concerns, Psalms 66:16. We should reckon that the most pleasant conversation which is about spiritual things, and promotes the prosperity of the soul.
2. Because of the profit and advantage of it, especially in a day of calamity. We are here advised not to go into a brother's house, not to expect relief from a kinsman merely for kindred-sake. For the obligation of that commonly goes little further than calling cousin and fails when it comes to the trial of a real kindness, but rather to apply ourselves to our neighbors, who are at hand, and will be ready to help us at an emergency. It is wisdom to oblige them by being neighborly, and we shall have the benefit of it in distress, by finding them so to us, 18:24.]
Thanks for being my friend, tried and true.

To G-d be the glory
Had my yearly check up at the doctors: they said I was the lowest blood count ever known (alive) last year at 3%. Average is 12 and they sent me home on 7%, now I am at 14%!! All tests came back negative and I can now cut down from 3 pills a day to one. Just shows you that your number isn’t up until the Father calls you home, regardless how it looks. They said I was on my last leg – but then they don’t know G-d can grow out legs. I see it as a second change at life and hopefully an overall improvement on chooses personality and discernment. When much is given much is required! He must still have some use for me, or I didn’t meet the requirement yet, which ever it is a change to improve. To Him be the glory!!
How forcible are right words!
[Job 6:25] How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
[Forcible - The words of truth have a marvellous power. A well-constructed argument, that has truth for its basis, is irresistible. That is according to right reason; such as may be called strong reasons, or bony arguments, as in Isaiah 41:21 there are strength and weight in such words, reasoning’s, and arguments. They bring evidence and conviction with them, and are very powerful to persuade the mind to an assent unto them, and have great influence to engage to a profession or practice of what they are used. Such are more especially the words of G-d, the Scriptures of truth, the doctrines of the Gospel; these are right words, Proverbs 8:6, 8, and 9. They are not contrary to right reason, although above it; and are agreeably to sanctified reason, and received by it. They are according to the perfections of G-d, even His righteousness and holiness, and according to the Law of
G-d, and in no wise revolting to it, which is the rule of righteousness. Such as he believed his own were, and in which there were nothing hard and harsh, sharp and severe, or which might give just offence. Such as his cursing the day in which he was born, or charging his friends with treachery and deceit but rather he tacitly reflects upon the words and arguments of his friends. Intimating, that though there is force and strength in right words, theirs were neither right nor forcible, but partial and unjust, and weak and impotent; which had no strength of reasoning in them, nor carried any conviction with them,
But what doth your arguing reprove? But there is no truth in your assertions or weight in your arguments. Their arguments they had used with him had no strength in them; they were of no avail; they did not reprove or convince of any evil he had been guilty of or any mistake he had made; they were weak, impertinent, and useless, and fell with no weight upon him, nor wrought any conviction in him.
The reproofs which proceed from you"; the emphasis is on you; you may find fault, who are not in my situation.]
[26] Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
[Words - Do you think it is sufficient to quarrel with some of my words, without giving allowance for human infirmity, or extreme misery.
Do ye imagine to reprove word - Or with words; with bare words, without any force of reasoning and argument in them? Put a parcel of words together without any sense or meaning, or however without any logic in them, and think to run me down with them? Or is your scheme and device only, and which you pursue, to catch at and lay hold on some words of mine uttered in my distress, and make me an offender for a word, or for a few words, supposing they have been rashly and passionately spoken? Have ye no facts to charge me with, before or since these calamities befell me? Is the charge of hypocrisy and want of the fear of G-d to be supported by producing some hasty expressions, without pointing at one single action in my life and conversation?
Is it some expressions which in my hurry, and under the pressure of unprecedented affliction, I have uttered, that ye catch at? You can find no flaw in my conduct; would ye make me an offender for a Word? Why endeavor to take such advantage of a man who complains in the bitterness of his heart, through despair of life and happiness?
The speeches of one - that is, do ye imagine to reprove them or, are; your thoughts wholly and solely intent on them? Are these only the strong reasons you have to produce to fix the sin of hypocrisy upon me?
His condition was forlorn and miserable, and there was no hope with him of being better; his children were dead, his substance in the hands of robbers, his health so extremely bad that he had no expectation of a recovery to his former state. Therefore it was very unkind and ungenerous to lay hold upon and aggravate the speeches of such a one, and improve them against him; and especially as they were only "for refreshment", as some choose to render the words, (32:20). The sense of the whole is, that they imagined that their words were right and fit to reprove with, and that there were force and strength in them, and had a tendency to work conviction and bring to confession.
Desperate - Of a poor miserable, hopeless and helpless man. For by him that is "desperate" he means himself; not that he despaired of his everlasting salvation; he was far from despair; he was a strong believer, and determined that, though he was slain, he would trust in the L-rd. He was well assured he should be justified, both here and hereafter; and full well knew that his Redeemer lived, and that though he died, he should rise again and be happy in the vision of G-d for ever: but he despaired of a restoration to outward happiness, which Eliphaz had suggested, should he behave well.
Which are as wind - Which pass away and are forgotten. But as for the words of Job, they treated them "as wind"; as idle, vain, and empty, and useless and fruitless as the wind. The Hebrew for "as wind," as "sentiments"; making formal "sentiments" antithetical to mere "speeches," and supplying, not the word "reprove," but "would you regard," from the first clause.]

America & Lev. 26
Leviticus 26 Studying with Perry Stone, I took notes.
The attitudes of believers: think only of themselves and they're not worried about choices and how they affect everything and our prophets have lockjaw.
America’s churches have turned into touchy, feely churches not offending anyone nor preaching about the blood of Y’Shua. Trying to make everyone feel good about themselves while they live in sin. Many are preaching just to take up an offering but not preaching G-d’s Word. Why are they not teaching repentance and redemption anymore?
Judgment of G-d is standing to accountable for choices made. G-d sends a crises, a situation of life and death. Examples: 911, gay movement, 1963 allowing an atheist to take prayer and the Bible out of schools, abortion, was there a national call of repentance?
We took on the pattern of the Roman Empire and according to historians most empires last only 200 years and then start declining. Power shifts from east to west every 500 years. Since 1992 the EU has 35 countries and is still growing; the euro is worth more than the American dollar.
The kings of the east are going to be the Asians nations; the anti-christ will form his ten to form the Islamic nations taking away the solvency of the USA.
The Federal Reserve is not own by the federal government, it is a central bank that loans the money as needed. They sold the USA out to men that are global bankers, oil sheiks, men from China that we borrowed from. We give them an IOU in the form of government bond; Japan and China own most of the IOU’s. If they demanded it now we would have an instant overnight caliphs of America. Global bankers loan money to anyone to make money both ways. Wars can be created to bring the economy out! Our money is only paper, it cost 3 cents to make a 100 bill yet the government pays 100 for it. When our money is not worth the paper it is printed on, blame is passed to a scape goat. The stranger among you will rise up and destroy your government!
Our constitution was based on the Torah, Isaiah the prophet, and the four Gospels; they called themselves “Spiritual Fathers”. That means if we are based on the Word we have to live by the Word! We are not only under the Law but also under the blessings of Abraham. Our laws should be based on G-d’s Laws. California passed a law saying ‘you can not home school your children!’ That way they can teach children how to become gay, how to have an abortion and how to have safe sex.
Supreme court is debating weather an American citizen can have fire arms in their house, when the right to bear arms is the right in our documents. Bill of Rights: “When the government ceases to be the government for the people and become a dictatorship, the right of the people is go to take over the government.” Standing up and speaking out saying ‘we are not going to have it!’ Why aren’t Believers standing up?
The Roman Empire fought three different wars; we had two already so the next president will deal with another war, probably with Iran, for they have invented something to put in the water that could kill instantly. Believers need to pray for a person that follows Bible principles to get in office to guide us, for our destiny is at stake. Remember the adversary will try to miss lead you from voting for the right one.
Revival does not come by the president, but by you turning from your wicked ways. All G-d is asking you to do is get on your face and stand up for Him, don’t let your generation be lost. G-d said if you obey Him, you would win and not borrow.
Is America moving towards Lev. 26? Absolutely, you know how to live and walk and refuse to do it, prosperity became your idol, the more you have the more you want.
Lk. 19:41-44; Ecc. 1:9-10; 2 Kgs. 19; Jer. 20:9; 1 Cor. 10:20; Deut. 28; 2 Corn. 14.

Love of G-d
The love of G-d is greater far than pen or tongue can ever tell.It goes beyond the highest starand reaches toward the lowest hell
O love of G-d how rich and pureit shall for evermore endure.
Could we with ink the ocean filland were the skies of parchment made and every stalk on earth a quill,and every man a scribe by trade, to write the love of G-d abovewould drain the ocean dry, nor could the scroll contain the wholetho' stretched from sky to sky.
Ancient Jewish poem
Painting by Dan Gerhartz
Majestic and Stately
Prov. 30:25-28 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
Ants are called a people, because they associate together in great numbers; though small in bulk and weak as to power and strength. Yet their prepare their meat in the summer; build granaries with great art and wisdom, carry in grains of corn with great labor and industry, in the summer season, when only to be got, and lay them up against winter, which is a proof of their wisdom. The ant has not only sense, but mind, reason, and memory, the success of these insignificant animals being due to their instinctive sagacity and activity, rather than strength. It is a pattern of industry and diligence both as to temporal and spiritual things, Ecc. 9:10; Matt. 6:19, 20.
Locusts are small creatures also, yet very devouring ones; and consume the fruits of the earth, wherever they come and light; Ex. 10:13-15. They are very numerous, and move in large bodies, and yet with great regularity and order; which shows the wisdom there is in them by natural instinct, though they have no king to command, guide, and direct them. In this the mystical locusts differ from them, who have a king, whose name is Abaddon, (Rev. 9:11); yet they go forth all of them by bands.
They get together in one place; they associate and join themselves in bands, and keep together, though they have no ruler over them. An emblem of unity, concord, and harmony, let the form of government be what it will, as the best security to a people. These creatures, when they move from place to place, they move in a body, everyone in his proper place, all in rank and file; and though they have no general to marshal them, yet are in, and march in as good order as the most regular army does. Indeed they are G-d's army, as they are called, (Joel 2:25); and it is He that gives them their wisdom, instructions, directions, and commission.
Spiders on the thread she spins, or on the flies and bees she catches in her web. This is a small creature, yet very wise; what a curious thread does she spin! What a fine web does she weave! With what exactness and proportion is it framed! As if she understood the rules of mathematics and architecture; and though her webs are oftentimes destroyed, yet such is her constancy and assiduity, and her unwearied application to business, that, as fast as they are destroyed, she attempts to restore them. This creature is an emblem of diligence in things temporal and spiritual; which those that use in the former sense shall stand before kings, and not before mean men; and in the latter sense shall have the presence of the King of kings, and dwell in his palace here and hereafter. Also of worldly minded men, who labor to be rich; spend their time, and take a great deal of pains for mere trifles; weave curious webs, and, after all, only catch flies; and those they cannot hold, uncertain riches, which make themselves wings and fly away. Likewise this creature may resemble hypocrites, whose hope and trust are as the spider's web, built upon their own righteousness, spun out of their own hearts; a fine, thin, slender thread, which cannot bear one stroke of the besom of Divine justice. Such as these are in the palaces of Y’Shua the King, are in His churches, hypocrites in Zion; (Job 8:13,14) .
What have we learned from G-d’s creation?
1. The ants, minute animals and very weak, and yet they are very industrious in gathering proper food, and have a strange sagacity to do it in the summer, the proper time. This is so great a piece of wisdom that we may learn of them to be wise for futurity, Prov. 6:6. When the ravening lions lack, and suffer hunger, the laborious ants have plenty, and know no want.
2. The conies, or, as some rather understand it, the Arabian mice, field mice, weak creatures, and very timorous, yet they have so much wisdom as to make their houses in the rocks, where they are well guarded, and their feebleness makes them take shelter in those natural fastnesses and fortifications. Sense of our own indigence and weakness should drive us to Him that is a rock higher than we for shelter and support; there let us make our habitation.
3. The locusts; they are little also, and have no king, as the bees have, but they go forth all of them by bands, like an army in battle-array; and, observing such good order among themselves, it is not any inconvenience to them that they have no king. They are called G-d's great army Joel 2:25; for, when He pleases, He musters, He marshals them, and wages war by them, as He did upon Egypt. They go forth all of them gathered together; sense of weakness should engage us to keep together, that we may strengthen the hands of one another.
4. The spider, an insect, but as great an instance of industry in our houses as the ants are in the field. Spiders are very ingenious in weaving their webs with a fineness and exactness such as no art can pretend to come near. They take hold with their hands, and spin a fine thread out of their own bowels, with a great deal of art; and they are not only in poor men's cottages, but in kings' palaces, notwithstanding all the care that is there taken to destroy them. Providence wonderfully keeps up those kinds of creatures, not only which men provide not for, but also which every man's hand is against and seeks the destruction of. Those that will mind their business, and take hold of it with their hands, shall be in kings' palaces; sooner or later, they will get preferment, and may go on with it, notwithstanding the difficulties and discouragements they meet with. If one well-spun web be swept away, it is but making another.
Conclusion is:
Verse 32: If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
A caution to us to keep our temper at all times and under all provocations, and to take heed of carrying our resentments too far upon any occasion, especially when there is a King in the case, against whom there is no rising up, when it is a ruler, or one much our superior, that is offended; nay, the rule is always the same.
1. We must bridle and suppress our own passion, and take shame to ourselves, whenever we are justly charged with a fault, and not insist upon our own innocence. If we have lifted up ourselves, either in a proud conceit of ourselves or a peevish opposition to those that are over us, if we have transgressed the laws of our place and station, we have therein done foolishly. Those that magnify themselves over others or against others, that are haughty and insolent, do but shame themselves and betray their own weakness. We must humble ourselves for what we have done amiss, and even lie in the dust before G-d, in sorrow for it. We must keep the evil thought we have conceived in our minds from breaking out in any evil speeches. It is bad to think ill, but it is much worse to speak it, for that implies consent to the evil thought and a willingness to infect others with it.
2. We must not irritate the passions of others. Some are so very provoking in their words and conduct that they even force wrath, they make those about them angry whether they will or no, and put those into a passion who are not only not inclined to it, but also resolved against it. Now this forcing of wrath brings forth strife, and where that is there is confusion and every evil work. Let nothing therefore be said or done with violence, but every thing with softness and calmness.

Weary Blues
These weary blues I have gotten from waiting--. L-rd I have been waiting for so long! Forgive me, L-rd, if you fine me crying, for restitution has come and gone.
What have I to lie at Your feet?
Has all my fruit rotten away?

My mother has gone and left me – leaving hopes and dreams to lay aside.
Now how can there be restitution, to becoming one happy family?
I am sitting here in limbo, like a bird without a song. Time to empty my soul, well these blues hang on. But I know my faith will carry me to the end of life’s journey.
Tears are used for inter healing, as they run slowly down my cheeks, washing the blues away.
Take my hand, Father, for my mother has gone away.
I have been tested and tried – but have I been found true?
You said all things work out for my good, so I am trusting in You.
How do I fit in to Your master plan?
Where do I go from here?
What would You have me to do?
Will I be a pleasure to You?
Father, You are so dear to my heart and once again You are there to carry me through. Notice how these weary blues fade when I am talking to You.
You are my strength and high tower.
You are my all in all.
And I can always rest assured in YOU!
