GOD-TRACKING IS NEVER LOSING HOPE IN GOD’S GOOD PLANS

“Dear God-tracker, God has an ambition to bless you and fill your life with good things. His plans for you are wonderful!”

Romans 8:28And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose

This e-devotional is founded on the fact that God knows the plans he has for us. In Jeremiah chapter 29 we read that famous verse that says God’s plans are for welfare and not for evil; to give us a future and a hope. In Romans 8 we’re told that, for those who are called according to God’s plans, all things work together for the good. And in Hebrews 11 it says, “Whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” We seek God by faith and faith solidifies that hope spoken of by Jeremiah. I believe it is safe to say that, as a loving Father, God desires what is good for his children.

When Jeremiah prophesied about God’s plans for welfare and hope, he was speaking to his people who had been taken captive by the Babylonians. At the time, I could well imagine, Jeremiah’s flock thinking, “A future and a hope? We’ve been dragged away from our homeland, and he prophesies prosperity?” But God’s plan was to test his people and bring them to a place of complete surrender and dependence on him. God’s plan was always to bless his people, but their hearts had grown cold and complacent. One generation later, after Babylonian exile, God fulfilled his promise and brought his beloved back to the Promised Land.

Dear God-tracker, God has an ambition to bless you and fill your life with good things. His plans for you are wonderful! He wants to meet your needs, grant you the desires of your heart and prosper you. Yes, prosper you! However, as you read this thought, you may say, “I don’t feel very prosperous today. My hope has waned, and my future seems bleak.” But your Lord says, “I know the plans I have for you. Plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning. After the difficulty will come the deliverance. (I have discovered that those God calls, he tests.) He is your source and your resource. He will restore the years the locusts have devoured. What you have sowed in tears you will reap with joy. So, continue to acknowledge the Lord in all your ways and keep your eyes on Jesus. God knows the plans he has for you!

God-tracking is never losing hope in God’s good plans

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

By faith, I put my confidence for things hoped for, squarely in your sovereign benevolence

“Dear Father, thank you for your promise to give me a future filled with hope and abundance. I admit to any sin and wrongdoing in my life – apathy, indifference, immorality, bad habits, idolatry – and seek your forgiveness, O Lord. I realise that these trials have been sent to test and prove me for the great plans you have for my future. I totally surrender myself to you in spirit, soul and flesh, and seek first your kingdom and your righteousness. By faith, I put my confidence for things hoped for, squarely in your sovereign benevolence. Thank you for the good things that you have planned for my life. Amen.”

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS EXPECTING GOD TO ALWAYS CONFIRM HIS GUIDANCE IN YOUR LIFE   

Isaiah 55:9
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Some say that God never uses physical dimensions when guiding us and that he only guides us through spiritual means. Indeed, God does guide us in spiritual ways: the still small voice of his Spirit in our hearts, an anointed word from Scripture or even through dreams and visions. However, God also uses literal physical incidents to guide us in our choices for living.

In the early 1990s, my wife and I had sensed the Lord’s guidance calling us to leave family and friends in South Africa and move to a new country. We’d had a notion that God was going to move us for some time and were knocking on doors around the world. Eventually a potential opportunity opened for us in the Midlands of England. After much prayer and God seeking, in faith, we felt it was time to sell our house and make plans to move. However, Karen loved our home and still had some reservations about moving.

One afternoon Karen was walking down the long gated driveway of our home in Pretoria praying, “Dear Lord, I’m still not certain about selling up to move to the UK. Do you really want us to sell this house and move?” Just then there was a gust of wind. The weather was good that day; the wind came from nowhere. As small white A5 handbill blew over the gate and landed at her feet. “Oh, this junk-mail gets in everywhere,” Karen thought as she picked up the leaflet to discard it. Her eyes caught the bold print at the top of the page: It’s Time to Sell You House. Karen was mesmerised. How could this ever be a coincidence? She had just spoken these words to God in prayer and now she read them in black and white on the piece of paper in her hand.

Gideon in the Bible asked God for a literal confirmation of his calling on his life. He put out a sheep’s fleece one night and asked God to wet it with dew and prevent the ground around it from being wet. He did this to test that what he sensed God was saying was correct. The next morning all the ground around the fleece was dry but the fleece was very wet. Gideon might have thought this result was a coincidence so he asked God to reverse the process the next night. Sure enough, the next morning the fleece was dry and the ground was wet. God made his point and Gideon obeyed God’s call with great effect.

Coincidence never occurs in prayer. God is sovereign and omniscient. If he can use the sun and the moon to confirm his Word, then he can use even tiny literal incidents in your life to communicate his plans to you. Don’t underestimate God’s ability to use the obvious or mundane to guide you. Try not to confine your opinion of how God speaks to only one format. God is sovereign and omniscient and he will do whatever he chooses to do to get his message through to you. His ways are not like our ways; they are often contrary to our human reason. So, in seeking the plans that God has for you, open your heart to his higher ways and simply expect him to speak.

God-tracking is expecting God to always confirm his guidance in your life   

Fix your eyes on Jesus

I pray that you will speak to me and confirm your Word to me in ways that will clearly reveal your will for my life.

Pray
“Dear sovereign Lord, forgive me for ignoring the obvious confirmations of your Word to me. I believe that you are wise and your thoughts are higher than my thoughts. So, I humbly submit my reasoning to your sovereign wisdom. I pray that you will speak to me and confirm your Word to me in ways that will clearly reveal your will for my life. I commit my every decision to you. I commit my every ambition to you. Help me to be observant and clearly see or hear the ways you choose to confirm your plans for my future. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS FACING EVERY DISASTER IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT HE IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL

trACker 555 The e-Devotional helping to keep you on-track
Published through www.godtracker.co.uk

25 September 2015

Dear God-tracker

God-tracking is facing every disaster in the knowledge that he is always in control

It was around 11pm when Karen and I made our way upstairs to bed. “I have such an uneasy feeling about Kerryn,” said my wife as we settled down. My daughter had embarked on a round the world trip and was in New Zealand at that moment. “Really?” I said. “Let’s pray.” We prayed for protection and blessing upon Kerryn and her travelling companion at that moment, knowing it was already mid-morning in New Zealand.
Early the next day our phone rang. “Hello, Mr. Anderson,” said a Kiwi voice. “Yes.” I replied with trepidation. “We want you to know, Kerryn is alright.” Instantly I knew something severe must have happened. The voice on the phone went on to explain how Kerryn was involved in serious a motor accident about 9 hours previously but that she had escaped with only bruises and some cuts. She and her friend, who was driving at the time, had entered a dual carriageway and were struck by a van at 100km per hour. The conditions were intensely serious. The driver had taken the impact, suffering a fractured her neck. However, it was clear that God was already in control. In the vehicle immediately behind the one that had collided with them were several casualty medical personnel on their way to work. They very quickly took control of the situation. Kerryn and her friend were rushed to hospital and were very well cared for.

The reason I share this story with you is to point out that bad things do happen; even to Christian believers who walk by faith. You and I are not free from the troubles of the world just because we born again. In fact Jesus once said, “In the world you will have trouble.” But then added, “But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Living as Believers on this planet does not exempt us from disaster or suffering. However, as Believers, we are reinforced by the fact of Christ’s continual companionship. In the Psalms we read that God instructs his angels to protect us in times of disaster. By the Holy Spirit (who is God) the Lord will never leave us nor forsake us. And it was the same Holy Spirit who was the One who prompted Karen and me to pray for our daughter at probably the exact moment of the collision!
As you seek and track God’s plans for your life, be encouraged to never take your eyes off Jesus. Continue to acknowledge God in all your ways and trust him to direct your paths without, leaning on your own understanding; especially through those disasters in life. I do not believe that God instigates calamity but when calamity happens he is faithful to lovingly rescue you and take you on to new heights of victory. Difficulties come your way to test you in order to make you stronger and more secure in your faith. God has a calling on your life and will prove you like gold in a furnace. And how can you be proved unless you are tested? Those whom God calls, he tests. Ask Moses; ask Peter. Better yet, ask Jesus.
My daughter, Kerryn returned home from New Zealand after a few days in hospital with no lasting effects of the collision. And praise the God of healing, her friend returned home a few weeks later and eventually made a full recovery. Both girls have now become much stronger in their faith and believe that, though Satan intends disaster for destruction, God will always work it out for the good.

“We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.” ---  Oswald Chambers
Don’t Give Up, Look Up!Look up and Fix Your Eyes on Jesus!

I claim my victory over every negative circumstance and claim your companionship in all my trials 

Pray“O Lord, I am facing a very trying time at the moment. It seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. And yet, O Lord, as I read these words I’m reminded that, not only are you the light at the end of the tunnel, you’re also the hope I have in the darkness of the walk. Help me to rest in your strength. Help me to be secure in your promises to meet all my needs, heal my body and prevent my foot from stumbling. I claim the promise that no weapon the devil forms against me will succeed (Isaiah 57:17). Therefore, I claim my victory over every negative circumstance and claim your companionship in all my trials. To your glory, O Lord. Amen.
