Kairos

Human nature gets its share
in wrestling with the ideals,
principles or philosophy of man,
an uphill encounter, a process within.

  Beyond human reasoning,
  God apparently takes his place
  to make us aware that he reigns
  and propels us to draw towards him.
 
His message in manifold ways
stands to reason in biblical tone;
he sets the way and makes us mindful
of his enduring mercy and compassion.

  Treasured in the hearts of believers
  his great love and covenanted assurance
  that he is with us and involved in our lives
  like echoes or living letters in our midst.

In the wake of trials and difficulties,
runs across God’s wisdom in crooked lines;
deep and mysterious to keep in mind
like in relationship, scarred with blisters and pains.

  As a qorban  among the Jewish traditions
  draws the meaning it conveys to human struggles;
  in today’s world where divisions occur
  a gift of ourselves can answer the call.

It’s beyond external things though,
while we enflesh the ideals into the act of faith
God’s ways are profound, mysterious and divine
in his kairos that no one knows so much.
