The one thing that is constant and sometimes appears to work against us is time. Is time on your side? Time is present, and neither for you or against you; its neither your friend nor enemy. It ticks and measures like a recorder of our days, behaviors and schedules. The good news is Kairos, God's timing, intervenes and overrides Chronos.
Facts about Kairos:
• it's another dimension or perspective of time.
• it consists of seasons and moments not limited by measured time
• is what we use emotionally and spiritually, and is governed by divine assignments and our destiny
• it requires us to seek God, search our own hearts, invest our well-being and walk in purpose and faith
In ancient Greek culture Kairos conveyed the idea of time as the right or opportune moment. The most important interactions and occurrences in our lives take place in Kairos time. These moments can not be planned or created, but are a part of our overall destiny. Many of us stumble upon Kairos moments and only realize we stepped into that dimension for a moment or season after it has occurred. These moments, as we recognize and yield to them, we begin to see that Kairos moments impact our "Being" while Chronos time impacts interchangeable aspects of our lives.

Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank You for who You are, for our existence and the time you've given us. We ask that you would open our eyes and make keen our senses and discernment to know when we're having a Kairos experience. We acknowledge and praise You; and welcome your intervention in our lives. Shake up our daily routine, move in our lives in a way that we know it was only You that could have stepped in. We thank You, we honor You, we give you heartfelt praise and thanks for this season in our lives. We ask these blessings, in Jesus' name, Amen.
