Wise Timing

(Pro 20:5 KJV)  Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

Which of these two is the target of this verse?  Is it the one who has the knowledge or the one who is seeking to access it?  It could be that this is recommending that we keep our advice to ourselves until it is sought.  That would certainly make sense because we have too many gurus on You Tube offering advice that no one wants, or at least no one who has any sense.  There will be a time to speak up.  Wait for it.

On the other side we are told that we will need to seek worthwhile input.  I would say that the person who is too willing to tell you what to do it possibly not the best source.

So?  Whether giving or seeking advice, make sure it is done prayerfully.  Consider the source.  It may not be your day.
