Timing and Tact

Proverbs 15:1-2, 25:15, I Corinthians 9:19, Ephesians 4:15, Psalms 19:14

Often that which is not spoken at the right time or in the correct way causes great problems.  One must be careful to know and obey the leading of the Holy Spirit in sharing to help others in need.  Godly wisdom and direction are vitally important in being used by God to help one who has a problem.  Sadly, relationships are greatly injured and people become estranged from Christian fellowship in the church, due to words spoken out of haste and unkindness.  It must be remembered that people are helped and won by words of kindness and love spoken at the right time and place.  Even when our Lord corrected people He did it in love and concern.  Take a few moments now to read about how our Lord responded to the woman brought to Him who was living in sin.  

Prayer: Lord, guide me in my communications and give me Your wisdom in helping others.
