Devo: "Moments of Decision and Destiny"

Moments of Decision and Destiny

“…and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,” (Acts 17:26)

    American citizens know that under normal circumstances our presidential election occurs every four years, on the first Tuesday, following the first Monday of the month of November. The presidential election is a time of decision and direction for our country. That time of decision, determines the direction of the country. Election day in the United States is what the Word of God calls a kairos moment. It is time that is an appointed time where destiny and direction are established.

    Our God is doing a work in our lives, and He is inviting us to participate with Him. He is not just doing some random work in our lives. He has created for us karos moments. The kairos moments are times of decision and direction. They are times where God has made an appointment with us to meet and release His greatness into our lives.

    God has not predestined our decision on those moments, but He pre-ordained when the moment of decision and destiny would occur. In order for us to participate with Him, it is important for us to recognize the kairos moments that God has created to meet with us. For example, the children of Israel have faced drastic consequences because they did not recognize their kairos moment. They did not recognize the time God wanted to meet with them. “….and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time (kairos) of your visitation.” (Luke 19:44)

     Before the foundation of the world our God created everyone and everything with kairos moments (Matthew 8:29). These God appointed moments of decision and destiny, have been prepared for us. God is inviting us to recognize those moments and participate with Him to release His grace and mercy into our lives. “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time (kairos)…” (1 Peter 5:6) When we recognize these moments and partner with God, He exalts us into the blessed Promised Lands He has created for us, before the foundation of the World. This week will seek to allow the Lord to teach and empower us to recognize His kairos moments.
