Description

Knowing when it's best to speak or to hold your peace. The Bible says, "For everything, there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven ... A time to be quiet and a time to speak" Ecc. 3:7

Solomon's emphasis on this phrase reminds us all, that there are times when we should zip our lips. It's OK not to have the answer to everything. Then when you know the answer, it does not mean you have to be quick to provide the solution.

However, there are times when God's people should speak, such as when the Bible commands us to speak out against injustice or when believers should not keep silent about their faith in Jesus.
