The Karios Time Zone

Here there BCU Family!

I typically record our content in an informal “podcast on the go” format. Many times, the Lord gives me subject matter as I am driving or waiting, so I record on the spot! You can access the podcast here, or click on the avatar below, as you refer to the show notes below for the highlights. We pray the content blesses and encourages you. If so, please thumbs up AND leave a comment! Thank you and enjoy the podcast!

Podcast highlights:

  • Last year, I wanted to podcast about a particular subject, but was having a challenge pulling the content together.
  • The Lord brought my attention to different content, and He prompted me to podcast God sees us.
  • By following His directions on what to post, one person “happened” to tune in and really needed that Word from God.
  • While we run on chronological or chronos time (by the clock and what we think is best timing-wise), it is important to live in karios time (listening for and operating in God’s opportune and divine moments that are just for that time).

KJV Scripture References

Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 25:11

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

Psalm 32:8

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Proverbs 16:24

Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Psalm 37:23

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delighteth in his way.

BCUFam, it never ceases to amaze me when God shows up in the lives of His people! He knows just what we need and when we need it, and He will use us to accomplish His will and way, if we listen and obey. We may not always see result of our obedience, but God sees it and will reward us accordingly. So, with His help, let’s acknowledge the Lord in all our ways so we are operating in the karios time zone, which is God’s perfect will for our lives. Amen? Amen! Let’s pray!

Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank You for this word of encouragement today! Thank You for reminding us to take time to hear Your voice and to operate in the karios time zone. Help us to be mindful of the people around us, those may need encouragement, their hearts lifted, to be witnessed to, or prayed for—–whatever You would have us to do, Jesus, help us to hear and be obedient to what that is.

With Your grace, please help us to be willing vessels to do whatever it is You have called us to do—-not for recognition, acknowledgement or just tangible rewards, rather, we want to hear “well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of the Lord.” Thank You for helping us to be sensitive to Your directions for us, and carrying out Your will and way, in Jesus name we pray and thank You, Amen!

Podcast highlights:

  • I ran across a post from a single mom, who had had a tough week.
  • The Lord knew that and sent her some encouragement in an unexpected way.
  • Sometimes we feel “unseen” by God, but He DOES see us and will come through for us.

KJV Scripture References

Genesis 16:5-13

5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the Lord judge between me and thee.

6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

7 And the angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

9 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

10 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction.

12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

13 And she called the name of the Lord that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?

Philippians 4:19

19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 3:20

20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Psalm 46:1

1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

BCUFam, many of us are struggling today with finances, loneliness, feeding the family, failing relationships, health challenges, and so on. No matter what the situation is, God sees you and you can cry out to Him, and He will answer—– and He will sustain you until He answers. Ask me how I know? He did it for me! Let’s pray about it.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank You for Your Word and how it was sent to heal us. As we come before You, someone today is struggling today with being a single parent, the loss of a loved one, a mental health crisis, caretaking fatigue—whatever the issue is, we thank You for reminding us that YOU see us! We thank You, Jesus that YOU are a needs-supplier! We thank You for being our refuge and strength AND a very present help in times of trouble!

We ask that You please speak to every broken heart, every contrite spirit, every adverse situation, every person——and work out everything to Your will, glory, honor and praise. Please help us to hear Your voice and to rest in Your ability——to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we can ask or think according to the power that works in us. We thank and praise You, Lord in advance for Your help, and just for being a GOOD Father and an awesome God, in matchless name of Jesus, we pray, Amen!
