These moments can be recognized by the impact they leave on us. This blind man in today's story is a prime example of a kairos moment. He had a life-changing encounter with Jesus and he was never the same again. He stepped out of the dark world of blindness and walked right into the Light of Jesus.
When I open my heart to God's leading, study His Word and ask for direction and guidance with difficult circumstances, I often sense God speaking to my heart -- I am experiencing a kairos moment. There is a peace I can't explain. There is hope where only fear resided moments earlier.
These events happen all the time; sometimes they are very big and other times they are a small part of my everyday life. Too often we think God can't be bothered with the little stuff, but I think God wants to be involved in every part of my life - the momentous and the mundane. It all matters to God.
When God moves, our testimony changes. Our story becomes part of the big picture of life. We go from groping in the dark to walking with confidence the path in front of us.
I love verse 25 of chapter 9 of John - when the Pharisees question the formerly blind man for the second time. They tell him that Jesus is a sinner and they ask him to agree. "He replied, 'Whether He is a sinner or not, I don't know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see.'"
What has God been saying to you lately? What are you going to do about it?
