God’s timing is not our timing.  While it’s nice when the two match up, it’s not often the case.  

While we speak of the four seasons, Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer, there is a fifth season – it’s called ‘due season’ or what we mean when we say God’s timing!

Kairos is the Greek word we find in scripture that refers to God’s timing – the right time, the opportune time.  

Chronos is the time on your watch, hours, minutes, and seconds,

the days, weeks, and months on the calendar.  

Kairos is about quality of time, while Chronos refers to quantity.  Get it?

Time certainly matters and is of essence in many things, but the most important time with which we need to concern ourselves is God’s time – the right time, the due season, the ‘on time,’ that our ancestors sang about!

When our chronos do not match God’s Kairos – this is where we need to learn how to wait, how to be patient, and how to faithfully endure – how to stand still!

“He may noy come when you want Him, but He’ll be there right on time!”

The Apostle Paul, said it like this:

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Galatians 6:9

Wait on God’s time,  it’s always worth it!

Good morning, I love you all!

ihs,

just adam
