Much speech is one thing, well-timed speech is another.
|
Liberality consists less in giving a great deal than in gifts well-timed.

Hebrews 4:16:
Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
(NIV)
Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God's unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].
(AMP)
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
(KJV)
