Scripture: Matthew 11:25-26
At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.
Thought for the Day: When I posted my devotional to Facebook yesterday, I wrote:
Wednesday, July 21, 2015
If you were paying attention, you noticed that the day of the week did not match the date on the calendar. This might be nothing more than an excuse, but fully immersed in General Assembly has me focusing on the room number for the next workshop or after session. I’m sure you have been in wonderful events – whether a few hours or a few days – in which time seems to slip away. This has been my experience these last few days.
The New Testament refers to this as kairos time – as compared to chronological times – which might be described as moments draped and infused with the Holy. As Jesus entered into prayer (in the above passage), we read “At that time…” This is not a date or even a specific time on the clock, but kairos time. Our interaction with God should be less about time that can be measured chronologically, but about entering into the fullness of time, God-time, that might also be called living in the reign of God.
Pray: Let me lose myself in you, O Living and Holy God, without being too concerned about the hands on the clock. Amen.
