Wow, my last post was September 3, 2023. Today is September 17, 2023. Two weeks have passed. It seems only yesterday, I was attending first grade and now I am 73. We live in Chronos time or a sequence of minutes, hours, days, and years. But we also experience kairos times or fitting times. Karios time occurs when we know it is the right time to make a decision or institute a change. We call it the right moment or the opportune time. The right moment happened today as I posted this. You see, it has been 14 days of Chronos time (where we get the word Chronology) from the last post to this one.
For many years, I felt like we lived in a period of Ichabod (Exodus 25). Ichabod means the glory has departed. This refers to the presence of God leaving due to the sins of those who forsook God. I hungered to find the place where God is worshipped in Spirit and Truth. I have an Elijah who hid in a cave away from everyone including God. Elijah felt he was the only one still faithful to God. God opened Elijah’s eyes and he saw thousands of others who remained faithful to God. I had that type of experience today. I went to a different church today. God opened the doors of heaven and showed me there are people who still seek to serve God.
