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
