Sir Lionel Luckham was an intelligent and much respected High Commissioner of Guyana and Barbados in London. One day he was requested to be the principal speaker at House of Commons Dinner. During the dinner the two speakers who preceded him took all the time. Finally, when the main speaker stood up to speak, it was late and people looked on anxiously at the dinner: He announced, My lords, ladies and gentlemen, then he paused for a while, he continued, Your prayers have been answered Then he sat down again! The applause was deafening. There is a time for everything. There is a time to go great length and the time to be brief, the difference is spotted only by the discerning mind. DURING JESUS TRIAL, PEOPLE EXPECTED HIM TO MAKE A GREAT SPEECH TO DEFEND HIMSELF AND TO AROUSE THE PEOPLE TO ACTION, LIKE ELIJAH ON MOUNT CARMEL. THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED, HE UTTERED NOT A WORD. For it was a time for silence. Sometimes all that matters is to be there when needed. Listening to people, nodding, winking, hearing and praying. Pray for the wisdom to know what the Lord requires of you today.
