The Right Way At The Right Time
From the top of the steep ridge, I identified about 20 large trees that needed to come down. But I also stood gazing from side to side as I considered the ORDER in which they needed to come down. You see, other trees would block many of them from falling in the direction that I needed them to fall. Those 'blocking' trees needed to go down first. Also, the trees farthest from me needed to go down first so that I wasn't stumbling over the top of them as I moved on to the next tree. Otherwise I would be doing the RIGHT thing at the WRONG time and in the WRONG way.
The same thing is true in life. Sometimes you need to say something, but 'now' is not the right time. All of us have probably experienced a time when we needed to say something right NOW, but we said it the WRONG WAY. We were too harsh or judgemental or insensitive. As more and more of this satanic 'thuggery' has overtaken our cities and political offices and courts, it is important for us to respond the right way. These rioters and their leaders are little more than deceived servants of their own greatest enemy. But remember- Jesus died for them.
The Scripture says, "The Lord is not slow and keeping his promise (to return) as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting ANYONE to PERISH, but EVERYONE to come to REPENTANCE." Even now many of those deceived Americans are becoming disillusioned- dissatisfied with their own movement. So, yes, you must absolutely stand for truth. You must say and do what is right.
But let your words and actions be said and done the right way at the right time, and you will be blessed! -Pastor BradWritten on October 8, 2025
