ESV Joshua 1:1-2a After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, 2 “Moses my servant is dead.  

Understand the Times.  

Chronos (Clock Time) = Iddan / Yom. 

Greek “Chronos” refers to sequential, quantitative time. God Works in Chronos.

Hebrew: Iddan (עִדָּן): Used in the book of Daniel to refer to a specific, measured period or “time”, (Daniel 4:6, 7:25).

Hebrew: Yom (יוֹם): Literally “Day” but Yom is also the most common way Hebrews measured the passage of time (the setting sun & sequence of days).

ESV Joshua 1:2b Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. 

Redeem the Time.  

Kairos (Opportune Moment) = Mo’ed / Et.

Greek Kairos is the "right" or "appointed" time.

Hebrew: Mo’ed (מוֹעֵד): This word is the "Appointed Times" or festivals of God. It implies a divine appointment or a meeting place in time.

Hebrew: Et (עֵת): It refers to the "season" or the specific moment where a certain action is appropriate. Ecclesiastes 3 ("There is a time for everything...").

ESV Ephesians 5:15-16 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.

NIV Ephesians 5:15-16 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

KJV Eph 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

How Do You Identify a Kairos Moment?

1. The "Frequency of Friction". Frequency is how often a wave repeats in a set amount of time. 

2. The Law of "Harmonic Resonance". 

3. The "Event Horizon" of Opportunity.  

ESV Joshua 1:3-5 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. 5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.

God Is Good All The Time.

ESV Joshua 1:6-7 Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. 8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Stay In Sync All the Time.  

PRIORITIZE PUNCTUALITY. 

If Proximity Is Your Position, Punctuality Is Your Pivot.

ESV Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”  

Is there Friction? Is God Making Me Uncomfortable to Motivate Me to Move?

Is there Resonance?  Is God Speaking the same "Now" on multiple channels?

Is there an Opening? Is there a "Jordan" in front of me God wants me to cross, today?
