“If you find yourself at a standstill today then join me in taking the next exit from that backed-up highway you find yourself on and put your foot down to keep moving on your life’s journey.”

Luke 9:62
Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."

Some time back Karen and I decided to take a short break. We made plans to spend four days in a national park a short distance from our home. We set out early so that we could stop off at places of interest along the way but no sooner had we encountered the motorway than we found ourselves in bumper-to-bumper traffic! The M6 motorway in the British West Midlands can be like a car park at the best of times, and this day was no exception. In fact at one time, we stopped for so long that the drivers around me turned off their car’s engines. We’d come to a total standstill. You see, in order to make our journey on holiday, we needed to keep moving.

You know, so many of us set off on the road to God’s purposes with gusto but soon run out of steam and end up marooned along life’s highway. Take the young woman who surrendered her life to Jesus at the Billy Graham campaign, for example. She’d heard the gospel and put her faith in Jesus under the passion of the moment in the big top, but as soon as she hit the streets of the big city she drifted to a total spiritual standstill. And what about the middle-aged man who had heard the prompting of the Holy Spirit to lay his career down in order go into the pastorate. Sadly, he had wasted so much time thinking about it that he’d come to total a dead stop in his faith-walk. You see, in order to make your journey along God’s life track you need to keep moving.

Perhaps you find yourself at a spiritual standstill today. It could be that you were once passionate about serving Christ but the flame of zeal that set you ablaze has flickered and all but died out. Maybe you heard the call of God on your life several years back but the weeds of doubt and fear have grown up and are now choking the life out of God’s promises to you. Or it could be that, like so many of us, you have simply become complacent in your faith walk and found that you’re gaining no new ground. If you find yourself at a standstill today then join me in taking the next exit from that backed-up highway you find yourself on and put your foot down to keep moving on your life’s journey.

God-tracking is to keep moving with God on your journey of life.

“I want to get going and keep moving on this journey you have set before me.”

“Dear God, I realise today that I have been procrastinating in my Christian walk. I know I’ve heard your call on my life but I’ve wasted too much time thinking about it instead of stepping out in faith to keep moving on the journey you have set before me. I’m sorry Lord. Today I re-commit my life to you and passionately seek to take your route for my future. I praise you for your love and your grace; grace that saves me and grace that equips me. I want to get going and keep moving on this journey you have set before me. I love you Lord. Amen.”

Great Exploits with a Servant Heart

GodTracker 999

“These servants of the Lord did not sit on their laurels and become rotting relics. These early disciples followed their Lord’s command and did great exploits for their King as servants of all.”

Daniel 11:32
…but the people who know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits.

The great violinist, Nicolo Paganini, willed his marvellous violin to Genoa – the city of his birth – but only on condition that the instrument never be played again. It was an unfortunate condition, for it is a peculiarity of wood that if it is used and handled, it shows little wear. As soon as it is discarded, it can become infested and begin to decay. The exquisite violin became worm-eaten in its beautiful case, valueless except as a relic. The rotting instrument is a reminder that a life withdrawn from all service to others loses its meaning.

Jesus reminds us that if we desire to be great in the kingdom of God, we need to be prepared to be servants. A servant is someone who expresses submission and duty to serve another person, to his credit and wellbeing. Jesus is our Lord and we are his servants. In Christ, we serve one another as a duty of our service of him. As much as we love our Lord, we love those whom he places on our track of life, to serve.

When we examine the lives of those to whom Jesus gave the instruction to be servants, we note that they all progressed to become great people of influence whose lives and service still impact our lives today. In their humble service, they carried out great exploits. Jesus did say, “He who is greatest among you shall be your servant.” These servants of the Lord did not sit on their laurels and become rotting relics. These early disciples followed their Lord’s command and did great exploits for their King as servants of all.

God-tracking is performing great exploits with a servant heart.

Cast Your Bread Upon the Water

“Serve the Lord at work, at home and in church. He is your exceeding great reward. Cast your bread upon the waters in faith that you will find it again after many days.”

Ecclesiastes 11:1
Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.

Do you ever feel like you’re slogging away at life with seemingly no return? Get up in the morning, eat breakfast, go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to bed, get up in the morning… It’s like you’re casting your bread upon the water never to see it again. Or will you?

That expression comes from the Bible. We read it in the book of Ecclesiastes, which is a book about the seeming futility of life. It was penned by King Solomon, the son of King David. Solomon asked God for wisdom and was blessed to become the wealthiest king in Israel’s history. Yet he wrote, “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity. What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun?” However, Solomon also wrote, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.” To finish quoting that expression above, the scripture says, “Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.”

God has not called you to be more than you are, he has called you to be all that you are. And we are all called to all the world. Whatever you do in life – at work, in your relationships, in your pastimes – do it with all your might, as unto Jesus. We are told that all we do in life needs to be done in the name of Jesus. In the Lord, our labour is never in vain.

So go for it! Give it your all, even when it feels like you’re slogging away the old sausage machine, churning out sausage after sausage with no return. Do it for Jesus, at work, at home and in church. He is your exceeding great reward. Cast your bread upon the waters in faith that you will find it again after many days.

God-tracking is working for Jesus.

“Help me to see a return for my toil but even if I don’t, help me to do it with all my might.”

“My God, I get so fatigued doing the same old after the same old, every day. Sometimes I feel like I’m making no ground; like I’m slogging away without return. But I know now that all I do in life – especially my work – is to be done for you and in the name of Jesus. So, I change my thinking and choose to dedicate my work and my relationships to you. I do it for you, Lord. I know in you my labour is never in vain. Help me to see a return for my toil but even if I don’t, help me to do it with all my might. Amen.”

Become a Fisher of Men

“Whatever you feel God is saying, wherever it could be that you believe he is calling you, understand this, he will replace your catch of fish with a catch far greater than you could ever imagine.”

Matthew 4:20
They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

Peter and his brother Andrew were at the edge of Lake Tiberius pulling in their nets after a morning of fishing. They had inherited their business from their father, a fishing business that had, no doubt, been in their family for many years. They had made a good catch that day and were looking forward to setting up their stall on the banks of the lake to sell their product. It was then that Jesus of Nazareth passed by. They had heard that this man was a great teacher and miracle worker but had no ambition of getting involved in his ministry. Jesus, pausing on the bank and squinting in the sunlight at these two burly fishermen as they wound in their nets, called out, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

Indeed, Jesus was gaining a reputation as a great rabbi. These men gave up much to follow him. They progressed to become great men of influence as they took the message of Christ far and wide after Jesus’ death, resurrection and ascension. However, at the point of their calling, they had no idea what the future held. They simply believed in Jesus and his call on their lives to go and make disciples. God had a plan for these guys, a plan for them to become fishers of men with the promise that he would be with them always, even to the end of the age.

Perhaps you’ve heard the call of Jesus, “Follow me, and I will make you a fisher of men.” But perhaps you’re unsure of where he will lead you. It could be that he is calling you to give up much to follow his lead. As Peter and Andrew gave up their business to follow Jesus, it may be that the Lord is calling you to do the same. Whatever you feel God is saying, wherever it could be that you believe he is calling you, understand this, he will replace your catch of fish with a catch far greater than you could ever imagine. God has a plan for you to become a fisher of men with the promise that he will be with you always, even to the end of the age.

God-tracking is giving it up to follow Jesus.

Fly Straight and True

GodTracker 995

“God’s purpose for you is unique. No one else can fulfil the plan he has for you. So, wait patiently for him to drive you straight and true.”

Ephesians 1:11
In him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will.

This devotional is called GodTracker. This title describes the primary purpose of every Christian
believer: tracking the plans and purposes of God. Scripture makes it plain; God has a plan and a purpose for each one of us. Yet, God’s ways are not our ways and our ways are not God’s ways.

A Scotchman was demonstrating the new game of golf to President Ulysses Grant. He carefully placed the ball on the tee and took a mighty swing. The club hit the turf and scattered dirt all over the President's beard and clothes, while the ball placidly sat on the tee. Again and again, the Scotchman swung, and again he missed. The President waited patiently through six tries and then quietly said, "There seems to be a fair amount of exercise in the game, but I fail to see the purpose of the ball.”

We smile but the truth is, the ball had a purpose. Its purpose was to fly straight and true to the green to be putted into the cup. Unfortunately, the demonstrator of this new game failed to connect with the ball. Chaos ensued. However, the ball remained patiently on the tee waiting to be hit.

God has a plan for you according to the counsel of his will. Sometimes, his will for you may seem to take a long time to materialise. Sometimes, chaos may ensue around you as you wait for him to direct your path to victory. God’s purpose for you is unique. No one else can fulfil the plan he has for you. So, wait patiently for him to drive you straight and true, in his time. Author Frank Peretti said, “'God has created us in his image and put each of us here on earth for specific purposes. That means every human being has intrinsic value, preciousness, meaning and dignity.”

God-tracking is waiting for him to drive us straight and true.

“Dear Lord, I know you have a plan to use me here at home, at work and in my church. Your purposes are according to the counsel of your will for my life. And yet, O Lord, I often find myself sitting quietly on the tee, waiting to be driven straight and true. Forgive me for my impatience and help me to wait patiently for you despite the chaos that’s going on around me. Dear Lord, open your way – your opportunities – for me to follow the plans you know you have for me. Amen.”
