Psalm 27:1(a)
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

The king sat alone in the Tabernacle's outer courts, praying. Whenever his enemies rose up against him and the responsibilities of governing his people with wisdom and grace took their toll, David would come down from Jerusalem and just sit quietly in the Tabernacle to meditate upon the goodness of God. That day, the king had commanded his guards to remain outside the tabernacle boundary and had requested that the priests leave him alone for a while, as he always did when he visited God’s dwelling. King David was not a priest, so he was not permitted into the holy place, but he sat down on the ground beside the altar at the edge of the tent where he could smell the fragrances of myrrh, cinnamon, cane and cassia coming from within. David loved these moments. There, in the dust of the earth, he began tracing out the words, “One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life…”

King David was a great man. He was the only king of Israel who had truly obeyed the decrees of the Lord until his dying day. David was no angel, mind you. As a great warrior, he had much blood on his hands, and he’d committed murder and adultery. Yet David’s heart was pure, and he was quick to repent of his sins. In fact, it is written of King David that he was the apple of God’s eye. Here we see David pursuing his greatest pleasure – to reside in the dwelling of God. In the midst of turmoil and violence; in the thick of conflict and war King David knew that the Lord’s presence was his source and resource. The presence of God – in prayer – was always the place of his security, hope and rejuvenation.

Perhaps you find yourself in the thick of conflict or confusion today. Perhaps, when you look back over the past few months or years, all you can see is disappointment and failure. Well, if that’s you, then don’t give up, look up! Make a conscious effort to rise and seek the dwelling of the Lord in prayer. David spent many a day in the Tabernacle, still before his God when his soul was downcast. The dwelling of the Lord is a place of fragrant peace. Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” And the dwelling place of God is in your heart. If you know Christ as Lord and Saviour, then your body has become the very temple of the Lord God Almighty! So, rest in him today wherever you are, and he will hide you in the shadow of his wings on the day of trouble.

God-tracking is dwelling in the presence of God, always.

“Help me to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life.”

“Father God, I admit that I am feeling a bit spiritually destitute at the moment. I confess that I have not spent enough time in your presence, in prayer. I know that I can never leave your omnipresence, but today I choose to seek your presence afresh! I want to rest in the shadow of your tent, in the fragrance of your company. I choose to cease my struggle with daily issues and rather be still before you. I shut off the clatter of noise that the world thrusts at me and rest in the peace that only Jesus gives. Help me to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life. Amen.”

2 Corinthians 5:7
We live by faith, not by sight.

It was a cold, dark winter’s night when I set up my humble telescope in the back garden to gaze at the stars. I love stargazing. I think the Lord gives us a taste of his glory and extravagance in the enormity of the Milky Way. This night I trained my telescope on Saturn. Apart from Earth, I think Saturn is the most beautiful planet in our solar system. As I twisted the focus knob, the image began to take shape in my lens. I was completely awestruck by the tiny spectacle I saw of the second-largest planet in our solar system with its magnificent rings. At its closest, Saturn is 746 million miles away from my telescope, yet I saw it as clearly as though I were almost upon it.

Faith is telescopic! In Habakkuk 3, we read, “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Saviour.” From where the prophet was standing, the future looked pretty bleak. In his flesh, he may have wondered how in the world the Lord would restore his people. But even as he gazed into the future, Habakkuk knew that the Lord was already on the other side of tomorrow, meeting their every need. He was able to gaze into the distance through the telescope of faith, and as he did so, he declared, “The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights.”

Perhaps you’re facing imminent difficulties today and feel that there is no way you’ll get through tomorrow. Maybe you’re wondering how you will ever overcome the astronomical financial mess you’re in. It could be that you’re praying for a loved one far off, who is sick in body or afflicted in soul. Well, if that’s you, then allow me to encourage you to pick up your humble telescope of faith and look through those clouds and on to the stars beyond.

The prayer of faith will make the sick person well. Jesus said that with God, all things are possible. The Lord Almighty, who spoke the universe into being, is the One who calls things that are not as though they are. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of a life we cannot see, from here. All the great heroes of faith in Hebrews 11 saw what they hoped for from a distance and welcomed the promises of God from afar.

Perhaps from where you’re standing, all hope seems a million miles away. If so, then gaze through the scope of faith and, in prayer, lay hold of the promises of God by fixing your eyes on Jesus and not on your dilemma.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.”

Psalm 116:2
Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live

In 1922 Helen Lemmel wrote a wonderful song, still sung extensively in churches today. In the chorus,
she wrote:

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

The scriptures put it this way: “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God,” and, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”

I know of a woman who, together with her family, deeply loved and served the Lord. We’ll call her Sandra. Sadly, Sandra had a slow degenerative disease that was to take her life eventually. However, as a young woman, she married a loving man and had two wonderful children. Her children grew up to know and love Jesus. One day, her 21-year-old son, an avid motorcycle enthusiast, was coming home late one night and had a motor accident that took his life. The family was devastated, but Sandra held them together with the hope that only Jesus can offer. Shortly after her daughter married and left home, her husband had an extramarital affair and left Sandra to marry another woman. Sadly, after her granddaughter was born, Jan’s daughter died of meningitis. Sandra was left alone and dejected with a debilitating disease. As the years rolled by, she became increasingly ill until, in her mid-60s, Sandra passed away.

A tragic life story, indeed. Or was it? Up to her last breath, Sandra never denied her Lord. She remained true to worship and love God with all her heart, soul and body. She always had faith and cheer, and despite her dire circumstances, she continued to acknowledge the Lord every day, walking in his tender care. During her times of deepest darkest despair, Sandra would sing, “I turn my eyes upon Jesus, and the things of the earth grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.”

~It could be that you’re facing a Sandra scenario today. Perhaps you’ve been deserted or rejected. Maybe you’ve suffered loss, bereavement or illness; you’ve lost your security, and tomorrow looks a little less than rosy from where you’re standing today. If that’s you, then turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.

God-tracking is turning your eyes upon Jesus.

“He will certainly not abandon you but will surely take care of you. He knows how you got into this mess and he knows how you’ll get out of it.”

Exodus 13:19 (NASB)
“…God will certainly take care of you…”

Pete and Jan were doing well. He was running a successful small business while she looked after the three kids at home. Pete’s business was growing as new opportunities opened to him. Both are Bible-believing Christians, acknowledging God in all they do. Then one day, all hell broke loose. Pete lost a large contract in which he had invested all their savings. Jan fell ill and found it increasingly difficult to care for the children. “Why, O Lord?” cried Pete. “What’s going on? I need help!” Pete and Jan’s story is common. A young couple finding their feet in life only to have the rug pulled out from beneath them. I’ve been there. Have you?

The Bible makes it clear that God knows the plans he has for you. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. He knows your situation right now and he will come to your rescue. We read that the enemy of our souls, Satan, prowls around like a lion seeking to devour us. Our battle is not against human forces but against demonic forces in the spiritual realm. Satan is intent on derailing you from the purposes of God.

Be strong and courageous, the Lord is with you. He is your helper. He will meet all your needs according to his magnificent riches in Jesus. He will certainly not abandon you but will surely take care of you. He knows how you got into this mess and he knows how you’ll get out of it. Your Lord is already on the other side of your tomorrow. So, stand together in the power of prayer and set your eyes on Jesus, trusting him as the author and perfector of your faith.

God-tracking is getting through tough times with the care of the Lord.

“Your Lord is turning you into a mighty warrior, and, together with him, you will strike down the enemy.”

Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

The impoverished Israelites called out to God when they were under suppression by the Midianites. Every harvest time, the Midianites would ransack their land and plunder their crops. It became so intense that God’s people began threshing their grain in winepresses to hide it from their enemy. The Lord responded by sending an angel to a young man called Gideon. “The LORD is with you, mighty warrior,” said the angel. Then the angel went on to explain how God had called Gideon to deliver his people from the hand of the Midianites. Flabbergasted and timid, young Gideon might have said, “Dear Lord, I think you’ve got the wrong man. A warrior? Me? No way!” The Bible says he asked, “How can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” But through the angel, the Lord answered Gideon, "I will be with you, and we will strike down all the Midianites together.”

You may feel as though you’re the least in your family or community. You may think you’re uneducated, untalented and unqualified to serve the Lord. You may find yourself today hiding in the shadows as Gideon hid in a winepress, because you’re afraid of what the future might hold or what the devil might bring against you. If that’s you, then let me encourage you with the words that the angel used to encourage Gideon. The Lord says, “I will be with you, and we will strike down all the enemy together.”

Just as young Gideon rose to defeat the Midianites and become one of the greatest judges at this time in Israel’s history, so the Lord your God is raising you up to serve him at this time in your life. He may not be calling you to the mission field or to pastor a church or defeat an army, but the Lord is calling you to go and share your life story with others. You have a mighty story to tell of how the Lord has healed you or delivered you from the mirey clay. You have good news to share about the new life you have found in Jesus. The Lord has done wonderful works in your life that will bless and encourage others. So, rise to the challenge to share your faith.

Seize the day! Don’t hold back! Step out in faith and be encouraged to make the most of every opportunity that the Lord is bringing your way. The late evangelist Reinard Bonke said, “Jesus does not choose us because of what we are but because of what he makes us.” Your Lord is turning you into a mighty warrior, and, together with him, you will strike down the enemy.

God-tracking is being a warrior for God.

Your Will Be Done

“God-tracking is all about submitting to the perfect will of God. I believe that God has a plan for our lives; a plan to prosper us with hope for a good future.”

Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Like most people my age, I grew up reciting the Lord’s Prayer at school every morning. I remember, throughout my days at primary school, the class would stand together first thing in the morning and recite by rote, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done…” This prayer became the standard starting point of my prayer life when I eventually gave my life to Jesus.

This is a powerful yet simple prayer that Jesus taught his disciples to pray. I believe that this prayer is a fabulous formula we can use to enhance our prayer life. It begins with praise and worship, then takes us through submission to God, on to making requests for our needs, followed by confession of sin, and then into spiritual defence against the forces of evil. However, for me, the most powerful part of this prayer is when we pray the words, “…thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

God-tracking is all about submitting to the perfect will of God. I believe that God has a plan for our lives; a plan to prosper us with hope for a good future. If you know Christ as Lord and acknowledge God in all you do, then you will align with his plans for your life. God’s plans are God’s will for you. Scripture calls us to renew our thinking so that we will be transformed to know and experience God’s perfect will.

Sometimes our thinking is so clouded by the patterns of this world that we don’t clearly see God’s plans for our lives and end up stepping out of his perfect will. Therefore, we need to prayerfully correct our thinking by setting our minds on things above and not on earthly things. This will open us to discover God’s amazing plans for our lives and lead us to walk squarely within his will.

So, pray with me, your will be done in my daily life, O Lord, as it is done in heaven. As Kay Arthur said, “The will of God for your life is simply that you submit yourself to him each day and say, 'Father, your will for today is mine. your pleasure for today is mine.  Your work for today is mine.  I trust you to be God. You lead me today, and I will follow.’”

God-tracking is enjoying God’s will on earth.

1 Thessalonians 5:24
He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

GodTracker is founded on the principle of seeking and tracking the plans of God. It is based on the Scripture that tells us that God knows the plans he has for us, plans for a future filled with hope and purpose. Every Christian believer has a personal relationship with God through Jesus. This is why we call him our personal Lord and Saviour. Through the intimate fellowship of the Holy Spirit, we can enjoy walking in God’s personal plans for our lives. Be encouraged to seek God’s purposes alone. It’s when we venture to make our own plans that we deviate from the holy and blessed purposes of God.

Abraham had a God-given purpose. God had called him from his home to settle in a faraway land called Canaan. God gave Abraham a promise saying, “I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.” Though Abraham was over 90 years old and his wife was barren, God promised him that he would become a dad. God knew the plans he had for Abraham, plans for a future filled with hope and purpose.

However, since his wife, Sarah, was barren and old, Abraham became impatient and made his own plan to fulfil God’s purpose. Thus, Ishmael was born of Sarah’s maidservant (a custom acceptable in those days). Later, God fulfilled his promise to Abraham when Sarah became pregnant with Isaac. Sadly, because Abraham pre-empted the purpose of God by making his own plans, the descendants of Ishmael became enemies of the descendants of Isaac.

Be encouraged to always trust the plans that God knows he has for you. Acknowledge the Lord in all your ways and refuse to make your own plans to fulfil God’s purposes. As we see in Abraham’s case, the plans of man will always be in opposition to the plans of God. So, trust the plans of God without relying on your own insight. He who promised is faithful and he will do it. And that’s what God-tracking is all about.

God-tracking is trusting the plans and purposes of God.
