“We trust Jesus when it’s his plan for us to stop today. And we trust Jesus when it’s his plan to guide our steps for tomorrow.”

Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Like most people, I often find myself longing back to those so-called, good ‘ol days. At my age, I have enjoyed not too few wonderful opportunities to share the Good News. I have had the great privilege of broadcasting God’s word on radio for the best part of 30 years. I have led small groups and large groups. I have enjoyed decades of music ministry as a worship leader and have had the honour of pastoring a church for 15 years. All these past years of great ministry privilege have been most fruitful. However, as I write, I tend to find myself reminiscing the good old days, without contemplating the good new days that God might still have ahead for me. Can you relate to this scenario?

Evangelist and Bible teacher, J. John said, “Jesus guides our steps and guides our stops." We often rejoice when new and prosperous opportunities open for us on this path of life. Unfortunately, when these opportunities eventually come to a close, we mope about longing for how things were. Scripture makes it plain; God knows the plans he has for us. His plans are always good and thriving, filled with purpose. In Proverbs, we read that if we acknowledge God in all our ways, then he will direct our life track.

Now, faith is the confidence in things we hope for. We cannot hope for what we already have or what we have previously had. Hope is futuristic. Therefore, we hope that God’s plans and purposes will work out for us today as they have done so in our past. Consequently, we trust Jesus when it’s his plan for us to stop today and we trust Jesus when it’s his plan to guide our steps for tomorrow.

God-tracking is walking in his steps and stops.

“Dear Father, thank you for the promise in your word that you have plans for my life. I believe you are the God of my yesterday, today and tomorrow. Therefore, I trust your guidance in my life to stop and your guidance in my life to step. I submit my future to you, O Lord, and have faith that you will fulfil the plans you know you have for me. Amen.

GOD-TRACKING IS TRUSTING GOD’S TIMING

GOD-TRACKING IS TRUSTING GOD’S TIMING

"Sometimes we try very hard to plan our moments, but the scriptures remind us that, 'In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.'"

 Proverbs 16:1

The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

I remember when my wife was pregnant with our children. Those were exciting days. I remember the great anticipation of that big day when Karen would say, “I think it’s time,” and we’d need to grab the pre-packed carryall and rush off to the hospital. I remember too, how long those 9 months seemed to take. I think they were the longest months of my life! That great wait through the months of watching my wife swell with delight, till the moment when I heard my daughter’s first cry. I remember the moment I first felt that little kick from inside her womb. The joy! There’s life in that lump, after all! Day by day and week by week I watched as my little one moved and progressed in her development.

Then it happened. We were just about to get into bed one evening when Karen stopped dead on her side of the bed. “I think my waters just broke!” she gasped. It was around 11pm. I looked at my watch then back into Karen’s eyes. “What! Now?!” I gasped in return. Frantically and with great trepidation I changed out of my pajamas, grabbed that formidable holdall and tooth brush and headed for the car. My wife’s time had come. My baby’s arrival was imminent.

No one knows the exact moment of that first breath, and no one knows the exact moment of the last. No one knows exactly when he will meet his life’s partner or when he will be joined by new friends in the race of life. No one knows the exact instant of his next adventure or disappointment or opportunity or loss. Sometimes we try very hard to plan our moments, but the scriptures remind us that, “In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.” So, acknowledge the Lord in all your ways and trust him to direct your times.

God-tracking is trusting God’s timing.

 Help me to track your will every second, every day and every year

“Dear God, I realise now that all of my life is wrapped up in your purposes for me. As I acknowledge you in all I do, I know that you will direct my paths. So, Lord, I give my plans to you and confess that my times are in your hands. Lead me by your word and your Spirit every moment of my life. I give you the timing of my life: my work, my calling, my relationships, my coming & going, my recreation and in every aspect of my walk, from beginning to end. Open and close doors according to your strategy for me and help me to track your will every second, every day and every year. I commit my all to you, o Lord. Amen.”
