one of the great principles in the book
of Esther is God’s timing it’s called in
the New Testament Kairos it’s the
opportune time it’s the time when God
creates intersections and suddenly
breaks through with his divine presence
his divine provision and is also divine
power many times between Kairos that
sudden breakthrough of God on gaps where
nothing seems to be happening where the
ordinary is taking place until the
extraordinary comes to pass in the book
of Esther that’s what happened it was a
period of time before her beauty was
recognized under certain set of
circumstances that brought her into the
king’s palace and turned her into being
the King’s wife for such a time as this
when God’s people were under attack God
had his lady in the right place at the
right time for the right king Douglas
perfect and when it had to be revealed
timing mattered it was the timing
between two banquets that would create
the scenarios that God would use to
expose Haman and to bring about the
deliverance of God’s people you see God
is always doing something bigger than
you can see at any given moment and
that’s why when nothing is happening you
have to understand something is
happening it just hasn’t hit that Kairos
intersection yet and that’s what Kairos
is all about it’s about intersection
when Saul became King that was another
Kairos moment you see Saul was chasing
donkeys all he knew was that his
father’s donkey they got in the way and
he was supposed to go after them little
did he know he was going to run into a
Kairos moment and his life would forever
change because once his servant told him
don’t quit but keep going
he intersected with the prophet Samuel
who had already been notified by God
there’s gonna be a young man coming your
way and when you cross sections with him
that is the man who I want to make king
of my people so you never know what God
has in mind you keep chasing those
donkeys in other words you keep doing
what you’re supposed to do and you leave
the moments to God because he knows when
he needs to make those intersections
happen in your life and create for you a
Kairos moment
