The Right Thing at the Right Time

Scripture:

Proverbs 15:23  "Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!"

Observation:

Solomon had asked the Lord for wisdom instead of riches and honor.  He received amazing wisdom from the Lord.  This verse tells us that saying the right thing at the right time is wonderful.  Knowing what to say at the right time is huge and people who always seem to have the right reply are incredibly wise.  People like being around them.

Application:

Sometimes we say the right thing at the wrong time or we say the wrong thing at the right time.  Getting this straightened out will radically change our lives.  We must learn to say the right thing at the right time.  God's timing is perfect and His reply is always perfect.  We must learn to seek God and listen to the voice of His Spirit if we are going to have the right reply at the right time.

Prayer:

Father, I know sometimes I have the right answer at the wrong time and the wrong answer at the right time.  Help me keep in step with Your Spirit who can lead me to say the right thing at the right time.  Let my words be few, yet powerful, because they are the right thing at the right time.

Yours,
Jeff
