Have you ever experienced a “Kairos moment?”
“Great question, Kevin,” you may be responding. “What’s that?”
I’m glad you asked.
Kairos is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune time. A supreme, and obvious moment. From the faith angle, it simply represents the right time where God’s purpose becomes crystal clear.
It’s a spiritual opportunity that’s absolutely unforgettable and can’t be ignored.
If you’ve ever encountered a Kairos moment, you’d know it. The heavens probably parted, and beams of light showered down on your exact location while angelic voices could be heard singing a beautiful chorus in the background. God probably was overhead saying something like, “glad you’re finally catching up, son/daughter.”
In my short 43 years of existence, I can identify just three of these, and one of them happened this past week. It was a bit personal, but I will share this because at some level, I’m come to learn it’s something we all struggle with: I’ve been VERY selfish my entire life. Borderline narcissistic. And I’ve hurt a lot of people as I chase performing for me, myself and wonderful little ol’ me.
That sucks.
But the Kairos moment was the realization that God still chose a pretty messed up guy with some serious alignment issues to do some pretty amazing things that He has used to amplify His message. He’s walked alongside my pain, my hurt and deep wounds that I was trying to self-medicate. And that’s pretty cool.
I want to hear about your Kairos moment(s). Post in the comments, or shoot me an email at kevin@project887.com.
Can’t wait to talk about it! Have a great week. –Kevin
