“As I face the disappointments life throws at me, if I trust the Lord, I know that his ends will be realised in my life.”

Psalm 3:3
But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head. 

Mark was thrilled when he heard he had been selected for promotion. He worked for a stable company with great prospects for growth. He was in middle management and this promotion would have elevated him to a position of responsibility where he would have led a department, making a greater contribution to productivity. However, a week before his promotion was due, he was informed that a colleague had persuaded senior management that he was the man for the job and not Mark. Mark lost his promotion. Disappointed, he became withdrawn and bitter.

Disappointment can demoralise and depress the best of us. Great expectations dashed can leave one deflated and dejected. Opposition to progress can so easily cloud our vision and thwart our personal growth. But thank God, his thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are higher than our ways. If I acknowledge him in every decision, every plan and every hope I have, he will direct my future according to his higher ways. Therefore, as I face the disappointments life throws at me and trust the Lord, I know that his ends will be realised in my life. His ends are the start of blessing and success. And in the end, vengeance is his.

God-tracking is trusting his higher ends.

“I choose now to let go of the hurt and trust your hand to bring about your ends in my life.”

“Dear Lord, it feels like I have been disappointed too many times in my life. Other people have always gotten ahead of me and left me lonely and dejected. Yet, I know that you know the plans you have for me – pans for my success and a great future. So, I pray, O Lord, forgive me for wallowing in self-pity and bitterness. I choose now to let go of the hurt and trust your hand to bring about your ends in my life. And I know your ends are a great beginning for me.  Amen.”

“God has a plan for your life. His plan is for your good and for you to touch and change the lives of many for the good, for good. Rest in his rock and know his covering hand.”

Exodus 33:22
I will put you in the cleft of the rock and will cover you with My hand while I pass by.

I sat staring at the microphone in my radio studio. I had just closed the mic after a short chat about a
Bible verse when I was unexpectedly overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of my task. I worked for an international radio ministry that reached millions of people by radio on FM and shortwave. I produced a 2-hour music magazine show that was aired daily from 4.00 pm to 6.00 pm. One word from me on the radio could change a life for good. Suddenly I saw millions of lives packed in that that small black AKG radio microphone. I could relate to how Moses must have felt when God called him to lead a million people across a desert to a land flowing with milk and honey.

Moses said to the Lord, “You say to me, ‘Bring up this people. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’” Moses was an outcast. He had killed an Egyptian and was exiled to live in the desert. Here, the Lord of heaven and earth appeared to him and called him to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt to the land promised to their father, Abraham. Old Moses lacked self-confidence. He had a stutter and was shy of people. Yet, God had a plan for him. One word from Moses would change, not just one life, but the world.

Obediently Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. Yet he was still unsure of the sheer responsibility he had. It was at Sinai that God gave Moses the 10 commandments that impact lives still today. Moses’ greatest task was to bring us the Law of the Lord. Perhaps it was on the mountain he felt as I felt in my studio that day; insecure and overwhelmed by the task. It was then that Moses was whelmed by the presence of the Lord as God hid him in the cleft of a rock and covered him with his hand. As the next song in my playlist rang out over the airwaves, I was encouraged by the knowledge that his grace and presence were my power to touch the lives of many.

God has a plan for your life. His plan is for your good and for you to touch and change the lives of many for the good, for good. Rest in his rock and know his covering hand.

God-tracking is fulfilling your purpose in the presence of God.

“Hide me in the cleft of a rock and cover me with your hand so that I may fulfill this task by the power of your presence and grace.”

“O Lord, sometimes I feel so overcome by the tasks you give me. Sometimes I feel that there must be other people who could do a better job than me. But then I remember that, just as Moses felt insecure and unqualified to fulfill his task, yet you came through for him, you are the source of my skill, energy and confidence. Hide me in the cleft of a rock and cover me with your hand so that I may fulfill this task by the power of your presence and grace. Amen.”

“Expel those doubts and remind yourself of the miracles and the good things he has done for you. He can turn your mourning into dancing and your darkest night into day.”

Deuteronomy 10:21
He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.

I’d toddled off to the kitchen to make a steaming beverage for my family. In the lounge were Karen, my wife, Ryan and Amy, my son and daughter-in-law, and their children Ruben, Grace and Zac. As I waited for the kettle to boil, I was thinking about life. “Lord,” I prayed quietly, “I know you’re a miracle-working God yet I’ve not seen any healings.” Like the next guy, I have often prayed for healing and I know God heals but at that moment I had forgotten the goodness of the God I serve and I was absorbed by my doubts. Turning my back on the kettle I grumbled, “Lord, I wish I could just see a miracle.”

Just then, my 11-year-old grandson, Ruben popped his head out the lounge door and looked at me. He then withdrew back into the lounge without uttering a word. Instantly the Holy Spirit reminded me of an awesome healing miracle that my eyes had seen.

When Ruben was a mere 3 weeks old he was rushed to hospital with suspected sepsis. Sepsis is extremely dangerous for a small infant. Karen and I hurried to the hospital to be with Amy and Ryan and to pray for little Ruben. Ruben was fitting uncontrollably. Then the unimaginable happened, he stopped breathing. Medics rushed to his side to resuscitate him. After he was resuscitated, they made plans to transfer Ruben to an intensive care unit in a specialised children’s hospital. We continued to pray and trust God for a miracle. There he was, his small form, infiltrated by a respirator and myriad monitoring machines.

Twenty-four hours later, Karen and I visited him again. To our amazement, the cables and tubes had been removed. “He’s on the mend,” said the ICU sister. “I have never seen such a quick turnaround in all my working life,” she added. Ruben was healed… miraculously!

Ruben said nothing to me that day when he looked at me from the lounge. I believe the Holy Spirit used him to simply pry me from my moping doubts and remind me that he is my God who has done great and awesome things for me, which my eyes have seen.

We serve a miracle-working God. There is nothing too difficult for the Lord. Expel those doubts and remind yourself of the miracles and the good things he has done for you. He can turn your mourning into dancing and your darkest night into day.

God-tracking is remembering the things he has done.

The Lord has seen your oppression and heard your cries. He knows! And my God will meet your needs because he loves you.”

Exodus 3:7
And the Lord said: “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

God promised Abraham that his descendants would occupy a land flowing with milk and honey. Abraham had settled in Canaan as a foreigner – the Hebrew. When drought hit the land, his grandson, Jacob moved the family to Egypt. While Jacob’s son, Joseph, reigned in Egypt under the Pharaoh the Hebrews enjoyed prosperity. However, after Joseph died, Abraham’s children came under intense oppression. Life was tough, to say the least. Men slaved day and night for 7 days a week. Women and children were abused. But we read, “The Lord said: ‘I have surely seen the oppression of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.’”

The Lord knows every detail of what you are facing today. He is aware of your challenges and strife. He sees your misery and anguish. He hears your prayers and your cries for help. Your God is concerned for your well-being and peace. He will intervene.

The Israelites were under slavery for 400 years. That may seem a very long time to us. But, I believe, even during those years, their loving God saw their plight and guarded them through their troubles. He knew his people. He knew what they faced. I believe, that if we were to hear the stories of individual men and women during this time we would be astounded at the mercy, grace and care of their Lord Yehovah. And then came Moses.

Stand sure. Don’t give up, look up. Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Cast your cares on him because he cares for you. The Lord has seen your oppression and heard your cries. He knows! And my God will meet your needs because he loves you.

God-tracking is knowing he knows.

It’s All In The Bible. Read All About It. (NKJV)

So, don’t give up, look up & pray!

“I believe that you will resolve this conflict and rescue me from this oppression.”

“Dear Lord, I don’t know how long I can go on. And yet, I know you know my plight. I know you are aware of my situation. So, dear Lord, I rest in the knowledge of your knowledge and acknowledge you in every situation I face. You are supreme. You are sovereign and mighty. I believe that you will resolve this conflict and rescue me from this oppression. I cast all my cares on you because I know you care for me. Amen.”
