A Kairos Golfer

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry, and wait… Waiting! None of us do it well, do we? We are conditioned for fast response in our disposable world. We don’t know the art of waiting anymore. We are a society who wants what we want now… and we don’t wait… we are impulsive and ready to go, go, go…

As I sat waiting to play my next hole, the golf course pretty backed up, so I am waiting and my flesh crawls… I don’t like waiting. I came here to relax and play a quick 9 holes of golf and I am getting frustrated about waiting. How relaxing is that! NOT!! Relaxing no, bad attitude, YES! I am frustrating myself by leaning into the culture of go, go, go… it is about time I learn to wait and wait without frustration, just peacefully wait and enjoy the time in God’s waiting room. Golf was teaching me this today.

The more frustrated I get when I am waiting, the worse I do life, as I step out to swing on the next hole, it isn’t pretty, because my attitude is bad, my shot is bad. So, life may bring us a “roadblock” or a backed up golf course, how will we wait? What is there to learn from waiting?

“Kairos” God’s most critical timing is in play. God wants us to have our best day, so He makes us wait for the purposeful timing, for the best outcome possible. Thats My King! Always looking out for me. I would rush through everything and never enjoy a moment of it, never learn, stretch myself or grow through. He wants better for me.

So if you find yourself waiting when you were hoping for a “quick 9” and your plans are changed up, your mapped out day changed up… then rest in the Kairos timing of God. Sometimes waiting is critical for God to make us ready so we can have the best outcome possible for us. Our best moment is ahead if we trust God in the times of “Kairos Waiting”, as we wait for that critical, purposeful, perfect timing of God. That Hole In One Awaits Us!

God says wait… and we know He wants the best for us, so we yield to His timing and we wait in confidence that our Omniscient, Know it all God, is navigating us to our best moment. Perfect in timing, this is our God. We can trust Him in our waiting. God wants things to be perfect for us. He loves us. We want to go now… but God says wait, so we wait in faith, peace and hope, knowing the best is yet to come. Have fun golfers. Enjoy your day, even if you are waiting… SMILE!

“Kairos is an ancient Greek word meaning "the right or critical moment." It refers to an opportune time for action, distinguishing it from chronos, which denotes chronological or sequential time.”dictionary.com

Strong’s Greek “Summary Kairos underscores the truth that all history—and every believer's life—is ordered by the Lord's perfect timetable. Recognizing and responding to these appointed moments transforms ordinary days into stages for God's redemptive glory and advances His kingdom until the final, climactic "time" when Christ is revealed.”
