A TIME FOR SILENCE, A TIME FOR SPEAKING

“For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal ... a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away, a time to keep silence, and a time to speak ...” Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Until recently I never gave much attention to that idea— “a time to keep silence, and a time to speak.” Then, with some of the recent events, that phrase came to mind so that I reflected on it.
