“God-confidence places reliance on God’s grace, and grace is God’s doing. His grace is all the qualifications you will ever need to fulfil your God-given opportunities.”

2 Chronicles 15:7
But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.

Joe stepped into the open-plan office space of his new company. It was only his second day on the job. Though he was very grateful for the opportunity and knew he was qualified, he lacked confidence. His desk was situated three-quarters of the way across the large room. He had to pass at least four other workstations to get to his chair. Though one person gave him a fleeting welcome wave, every head was down, already engrossed in the activities of the new day. Even so, Joe felt as though every eye was fixed on him. Quickly, he crossed the floor to his desk and sat down.

Confidence is an elusive virtue. Sometimes it flows with unabated gush, yet sometimes it lurks in the recesses of one’s soul like a shy mouse afraid of the light of morning. One thing I have learnt over the years is that self-confidence is fleeting, because self-confidence puts confidence in self – the ego. To be securely confident, I need to not be self-confident but God-confident. God-confidence places reliance on God’s grace, and grace is God’s doing. His grace is all the qualifications you will ever need to fulfil your God-given opportunities.

So, don’t throw away your confidence, it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere at every new opportunity so that when you have done what God has called you to do you will receive the fulfilment of all he has promised you. As Corrie Ten Boom said, “I believe that God delights to use his children in the fulfilment of his plans for the world. I am sure he loves to use small people to do great things.”

God-tracking is revelling in his rich grace for your confidence.

“I choose not throw away my confidence but persevere in the promises of your word to me.”

“My Lord, I realise now that I can only be confident in your purposes and your grace for my life. Therefore, I want to surrender every aspect of my life to you today: my work, my relationships, my church life, my sports, my recreation and my most private life. I put my confidence in God and not self, believing that you have promised to make me a success in all that I do. I choose not throw away my confidence but to persevere in the promises of your word to me. For your glory, Lord. Amen.”

Isaiah 54:2
“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.”

Lee de Forest, inventor of the cathode ray tube, was once heard to say, “Theoretically, television may be feasible, but I consider it an impossibility - a development which we should waste little time dreaming about.” Then there was Thomas Watson, Chairman of the Board of IBM in 1943, who said, “I think there is a world market for about five computers.” Famous last words, indeed!

Perhaps you’re contemplating your future today. It could be that from where you’re standing, prospects of a bright new tomorrow seem a little bleak. If so, then let me encourage you to look beyond the worn-out tools that clutter your workbench and gaze at that beautiful prototype in the mirror; that masterpiece of you that God has been building since the day you were born. Forest was a great inventor, and Watson a great entrepreneur, but neither looked further than their noses. Their futures were indeed bright, but they missed the point. Need I point out the success of both television and the computer?

Your Lord Creator has great plans for your life, and his plans are for your hope and future. God is the greatest inventor of all, and he has the ways and means of marketing his strategies beyond all your expectations. You are a unique prototype of God’s purposes at home, in business, at school, at church and in your community. If you would simply seek God by acknowledging him in all your ways and trusting him to direct your future, then there will be nothing that will inhibit his purposes from unfolding in your life.

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet his unfailing love for you will not be shaken, nor his covenant of peace be removed. And no weapon forged against you will prevail; you will refute every tongue that accuses you!

So, never doubt the Creator’s prowess when it comes to inventing the masterpiece of you. Take your eyes off the obstacles of doubt and fear and look up into the eyes of your great Designer who knows the plans he has for you. Resist the devil’s lies and then get out there and chase the dream that God has stored up for your tomorrow! As the 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 acknowledging the Designer’s prototype of you.

2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

A story is told about one of the world's most renowned photographers, Edward Steichen, who almost gave up on the day he took his first pictures. At the tender age of 16, young Edward bought a camera and took 50 photos, but only one turned out – a portrait of his sister sitting at the piano. Edward's father thought that he was wasting his time, but his mother said that the photograph of his sister was very beautiful. She insisted that one picture more than made up for his 49 failures. Her encouragement convinced the youngster to stick with his new hobby. He stayed with it for the rest of his life. What tipped the balance for Edward Steichen? A word of encouragement to persevere in the midst of much failure.

Failure has a bad habit of being the most discouraging force in one’s life. For a person who has not succeeded at something, failure can be viewed as an impenetrable high wall, impossible to scale or demolish. But failure is only failure if one fails to try again. Failure has one crack in its formidable structure – the inability to persevere! 

It could be that as you’re reading this today, you’re grappling with the prospect of failure. It might be that you have put much effort into a dream or a project only to feel that you’ve wasted your time. Perhaps you’ve been serving the Lord all your life, but you’re still contending with that proverbial thorn in the flesh, thinking, “I keep doing what I don’t want to do and not doing what I should do.” But listen: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness,” and, “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.”

God has wonderful, rich prospects for you today. His promises are all yes and amen in Christ. Are you in Christ? If you have put your faith in God and accepted Christ as saviour, then you are in Christ. And if you are in Christ, then you’re in the same place as the promises of God. Never fear failure! The Holy Spirit is your source and your resource; your confidence and your courage. Be encouraged to never give up. Get up and try again. Demolish that wall of failure with the hammer of perseverance.

God-tracking is never, never, never giving up!

Matthew 11:28
Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest

It was early morning as he sat on the edge of his bed, head in hands and heart heavy. His workload had increased tenfold, at least, over the past 6 months. Pressure to deliver was mounting. People were placing undue expectations upon him like never before. It was a good thing that business had improved, but along with increased production came increased workload. Joe was at the end of his tether. He’d been working 7 days a week for months and had run out of fuel. Hot tears well up in his tired eyes, and he began to sob uncontrollably. Never before had he felt this way. Joe was on the verge of crashing.

On January 25, 1990, Avianca Flight 52 from Colombia crashed just 15 miles short of New York's Kennedy International Airport, killing 73 passengers. Reason: the plane just ran out of fuel. International regulations require an airliner to carry enough fuel to reach its destination as well as its assigned alternate, plus enough extra fuel to handle at least 45 minutes of delays. The Avianca pilots had requested a "priority landing” but should have used the phrase "emergency landing". Due to heavy traffic and bad weather conditions, the ill-fated plane was placed on a holding pattern until it simply ran out of fuel.

Have you ever reached the point that Joe reached on that formidable morning, overworked, fatigued and burnt out? God has not created us to work 7 days a week at the expense of family and health. Apart from the obvious effects of stress on the heart and digestive system, research reveals that stress can cause, among other diseases, asthma, obesity and Alzheimer's disease. Avianca Flight 52 crashed because it ran out of fuel. In other words, the plane worked so hard for so long that it had nothing left in reserve to safely deliver its precious cargo to its destination.

God has given you a precious cargo, too. You have a life that he created to honour him and a family who need you to be strong and secure. Jesus once said, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” The Lord God created the universe in six days and then rested on the seventh. God is not a man that he should require rest (he neither slumbers nor sleeps), but he set us the example of the Sabbath for us so that we might rest. He commanded, “Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.” It is not only a sin to not take a Sabbath, but it’s also foolish! Jesus also told us to come to him when we’re weary, and then he would give us rest. You see, if we yoke up with Christ, then we will be both productive and rested.

God-tracking is taking a God-given Sabbath rest. Beware of burnout!

“In every skirmish you face, be sure to humble your heart before God and subscribe to the truth.”

1 Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

A story is told of a terrible conflict that arose between two men in a small village. Unable to resolve their disagreement, the men decided to visit the wise elder who lived in the hills. The first man carefully recounted his story to the sage, to which the old man replied, “You are absolutely right.” The next day, the second man made his way up the hills to sit at the elder’s feet. He told his side of the story with much passion, to which the old man replied, “You are absolutely right.” After he left, the elder’s wife scolded her husband, “Those two men told you two conflicting stories, yet you told them both that they were absolutely right. That's impossible. How can they both be absolutely right?" The sage turned to his dear old wife and said, "You're absolutely right."

You may smile, yet in every conflict, there are always two sides of the story. For each person, his side of the story is always absolutely right. Yet this is indeed impossible. For the most part, conflict is so often based on two central criteria: pride and perception. So often in a disagreement, one man may perceive the situation to be true while the other may perceive it to be false. Then pride settles in and claims, “I’m absolutely right and you’re absolutely wrong!” resulting in conflict and confrontation. However, in every conflict, there can always be only one absolutely right scenario—the truth!

Jesus said, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." He also said that he is the Truth. In the book of Ephesians, we are told to put on the whole armour of God, part of which is the belt of truth, which is buckled around our waists. Only the truth will resolve a conflict, because the truth is always absolutely right and the truth will out! The truth never needs to be defended. The truth only needs to be born testimony of. The truth will set the heart of conflict free, but only if that heart is not being strangled by arrogant pride. The proud will fall while God will exalt the humble.

Therefore, in every skirmish you face, be sure to humble your heart before God (since God knows the truth) and subscribe to the truth. If you are in the wrong, then humbly apologise and correct your opinion. If you are walking in truth, then humbly receive an apology. The Lord watches over the truth because he is the Truth. So, be still and don’t fret when evil seems to prevail. God will vindicate the truth, always!

God-tracking is resolving conflict in humble truth.

“In the Lord your God you live and move and have your being! His word is the sovereign current running deep beneath the surface of your life.”

Jeremiah 1:12
The LORD said to me, "You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled."

“In him we live and move and have our being!” shouted the apostle above the din of dispute at the
Areopagus in Athens. The Athenians were renowned for loving a good philosophical debate. Paul had been wandering around the city while waiting for his friends to arrive from Berea. As he walked, he noticed that people were very religious in Athens. He even came across an altar dedicated to the unknown god. The Areopagus was a place where men would gather to discuss the latest philosophical fads. “This is the God Almighty who created the whole universe,” said Paul. “From one man he made every nation of men that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.”

I believe Paul was pointing out that there is only one true God. He is the supreme Creator, autonomous, self-determining and possesses an exclusive purpose. This reminds me of an analogy I once heard of how, up in the seas around the frozen peninsulas of Greenland, great swathes of ice can be seen floating in the water. Here you could find huge icebergs as well as smaller blocks bobbing in the icy sea. On closer examination, you would notice how the ice seemed to flow in different directions; for some reason, the larger bergs flow one way while smaller blocks, another. The reason for this is, the smaller blocks, because they’re shallow, are tossed about by the great winds on the surface of the Arctic sea while the larger icebergs, because they proceed deeper down into the waters, are drawn along by the ocean currents beneath the surface.

Our lives are subject to similar forces. On the surface, we’re affected by the whimsical winds of every flimsy fancy. The superficial influences of the world about us often nudge us and push us to compromise our standards or to follow their often hidden agendas. It’s here, as we feel the breeze of opinions or the winds of change in the circumstances of life, that we begin to doubt God’s plans and his purposes. But if the Lord has spoken his word to you, then nothing can ever change his purposes for your life. The Bible tells us that as the rain falls to the earth and produces a crop for food before returning to the clouds, just so, when God speaks, his word will not return to him without producing the purposes that he intended for it to produce. God is sovereign. His purposes are exclusive.

In the Lord your God you live and move and have your being! His word is the sovereign current running deep beneath the surface of your life. If he has given you a word today then he will fulfil his plans for you tomorrow. Don’t allow yourself to be swayed by the flimsy fluctuations of winds of change above the surface.

Our God is high and exalted. He is our Sovereign Majesty, his will is paramount, his character is supreme and his power, unlimited.

God-tracking is living and moving and having your being in his exclusive purpose.

“You are one of a kind. God has a unique purpose for you. So, pray with the psalmist, “Search me, O God, and know my heart. And lead me in the way everlasting.”

Psalm 139:15
My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret

In his book on near-death experiences, Imagine Heaven, John Burke writes, “He alone knows who he created you to be. He alone knows what a successful life uniquely means for you, not compared to others but compared to what he had in his mind before he created anything! I believe the reason people having NDEs say, ‘I feel like I’d been here before,’ or ‘I feel like I already existed,’ is because they did exist in the mind of God, eternally.” ¹

The scripture makes it clear that you and I were already in the mind of God before we were conceived. God is omniscient, that is, he knows everything about everything. God is also eternal, which means that he encompasses space and time. Therefore, there is nothing about anything that God does not know, past, present or future. He knew your name before the creation of the world. What’s more is, God knows every nuance of your life, past, present and future. This is great news because it means that you and I can rest assured that the circumstances of our lives are wrapped up in his knowing. And if he knows all about you, then you can be sure that your life will work out according to the plans he knows he has for you.

The only thing that could distort God’s plan for your life is your own choices. The one auspicious privilege that God has given mankind is free will. So today, make it your choice to follow God’s plans for your life by acknowledging him in all your ways. Scripture assures us that if we acknowledge God in our walk of life then our life’s track will line up with his eternal knowledge of us. Acknowledge God by receiving Christ as Lord, and acknowledge God by renewing your mind daily through his holy word. Do this, and you will track his will for your life.

You are one of a kind. God has a unique purpose for you. He is acquainted with all your ways. So, pray with the psalmist, “Search me, O God, and know my heart. And lead me in the way everlasting.”

God-tracking is knowing he is acquainted with all your ways.

His Word calls us to seek his plan by acknowledging him in all our ways and by tracking his purposes, in faith. Most of what you’ll read is based upon the author’s personal experience of tracking the plans of God.
