Proverbs 27:14

Proverbs 27:14

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Even a genuinely good thing — blessing a friend — becomes a nuisance when done with no regard for timing, context, or the other person's need. The excessive enthusiasm that wakes someone up with loud greetings is tone-deaf. Wisdom in relationships includes attentiveness to timing and proportion. Good intentions do not excuse poor judgment.

Memory phrase: Good things need good timing.

Talk about it: Can you think of a kind thing that becomes annoying if done at the wrong time?

Prayer: God, help me be thoughtful about when and how I speak.
