A Good Thing At the Wrong Time?
“He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse by him.” (Proverbs 27:14 WEB)
A good and true thing said and done at the wrong time in the wrong way also turns out to have a bad outcome.
We can see this in the life of Joseph. At the age of seventeen, Joseph received prophetic dreams from God about his brothers and parents bowing to him. In his excitement, he told his father and brothers about it, causing his brothers to become more angry and jealous.
They were already feeling that way because Jacob practiced favoritism towards Joseph, and the dreams just made it worse. It had pushed them over the edge, to even plot murder against Jospeh.
Were the prophetic dreams evil? No of course not. They were holy and good from God. The problem was that the way and timing Joseph communicated his dreams resulted in an evil outcome, as good as a curse.
Some good ideas are before their time right now. They have not caught on in a big way yet. However, when the right time comes, they can become the next big thing in the world.
Timing is so important. When we do the right thing at the right time, we will have blessed results.
On the other hand, if we act hastily before it is the right time, we may get disappointed and even hurt by the backlash that happens. Grace for a matter is not yet available before its appointed time.
Learn how to flow with God’s Appointed Time and enjoy fruitfulness in every season of life. Instead of praying for water to appear in the wilderness, position yourself to stand under God’s waterfall of grace that is already present: https://bit.ly/god-appointed-time
