Choose well: there is a time to speak and to act

Morning: Psalms 75, 76; Jeremiah 5:20-31; Romans 3:19-31

Evening: Psalms 23, 27; John 7:1-13

It’s not only what you say or do, it’s when. The truth falls on deaf ears when spoken at in inopportune time. Jesus knew this ... For a while, he remained in the background, waiting for the right moment to step into the public arena, waiting for the right moment to act. Our hesitancy in speaking about the Way of Jesus may be well-founded. It is not wrong to be afraid of being misunderstood. There will come a time to speak and to act in the name of Love. Choose your moment well, as he did. Then, speak. Then, act.
