“a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be
silent and a time to speak.”
Ecclesiastes 3:7(NIV))
Sometimes events happen—causing upheaval in our lives.
Recently, our town went through a time of very heavy winds, possibly tornadic.
The storms uprooted trees, resulting in the blocking of some streets. The river
had some trees land in it. A row of pine trees looks as if someone had topped
them. In Illinois, the tornados destroyed homes and buildings.
In life, we see people’s lives almost fall apart. Usually, those people have walked away from God
or they never knew Him. Therefore, those lives self-destruct. However, when
these lives change for the better, God is in control.
People go through times when it is best to keep quiet
about certain issues. These times are God’s call. The person keeping still
should realize should realize the issues may be too deep or involved for them
to enter into. Conversely, the circumstance might be something of the other
person’s own making. At other times, God allows them to share their point of
view on a circumstance. Those who live close to the LORD understand the
difference of these times.
We have to rely on God to tell us which time is best to
speak or to keep silent.
