A Correct Word, at the wrong time, can do Great Damage.

I took a wrap taken out of the freezer just recently. I must have caught the very edge slightly, as the edge broke off in my hand. It made me think, that if I tried to fold the wrap, straight our of the freezer, then it wouldn’t fold, as it is meant to. Instead, it would just break.

Now, a wrap when it’s not frozen, can be easily folded.
It’s what’s meant to happen to it. You are meant to put a filling in it, and then fold it over to make a tasty treat.

But if you tried to fold it when it’s frozen, well, it’s a different matter as it’s brittle, not willing to be folded.
Try to fold a frozen wrap, and it will break! It needs to be defrosted first.

Once it is defrosted, it can then be folded, as it is meant to be, so it can be that useful tasty treat.

It all made me think, can we sometimes know a correct word that needs to be spoken, but, it can be the wrong time to speak it?
Maybe because it will not be received well, for whatever reason?
(Sometimes we may have an idea of the reason, and other times we may have no idea of the reason.)
Do we sometimes need to wait for the right time to speak the correct word?

Our Fathers timing is always going to be best!
We just need to follow His prompting of when to speak, and when to remain quiet. Hearing Our Heavenly Father’s thoughts, could make all the difference.

Another thought has just come to me.
If we speak a word, as directed by Our Heavenly Father, and then it all seems to go wrong, it doesn’t necessarily mean that we have done the wrong thing. (Although sometimes it might be just that.)
But sometimes, things can have a way that they just need to go, before they improve.
Sometimes, do we need to, not be afraid of the pre-breakthrough pressure?
