Dear God-tracker
God-tracking is
like playing follow the leader with JESUS
When I
was a boy we used to play a game called, follow the leader. The game involved
one boy becoming the leader while a bunch of others would follow him as he ran
and walked and climbed over ever obstacle imaginable. The followers would
follow the leader to the point of complete mimic, down to facial expressions! It
was so much fun that even after the game had stopped we would continue
imitating each other until we rolled on the floor with laughter.
As
Christians we are often called followers of Christ. This implies that we should
be following not only the words Jesus spoke but his very behaviour. I believe
that Jesus was a fun-loving guy who loved kids. Much of his teachings involved
analogies of childlikeness. For instance, he once taught that the way to find
God’s kingdom was with the heart of a child. Life can be fun if you allow Jesus
to take the lead. Therefore, to be a God-tracker is to be a follower of Christ
and to be a follower of Christ is to play
follow the leader with Jesus.
However, all too often problems come in our lives because
we choose to do our own thing and don’t allow God to guide us. When
we trust in ourselves and in our own abilities we set ourselves up for problems. The
Lord desires that we trust in him completely by following the instructions of
his Word and the lead of his Spirit, always. We don’t always understand why
certain things happen the way they do but even when things go wrong in life, we
must trust that God is still in control. Therefore, we must rely emphatically
on him and not lean on our own understanding. Sadly though, many of us do rely
too much on our own opinions, so much so that we completely miss God’s best for
our lives.

leader with Jesus
Keep your
eyes on Jesus.

What is
trACker?
GodTracker and trACker owe their origins to an international
Christian radio programme produced by Dudley Anderson called, OnTrack. Although
OnTrack went off-air in 2005, trACker has continued to help people to track
God's plans and purposes for their lives since July 2003.

Quote of the Week
A Sample of Dudley’s Fave Quotes
“It seems to me, as time goes on, that the only thing that is worth
seeking for is to know and to be known by Christ -- a privilege open alone to
the childlike, who, with receptivity, guilelessness, and humility, move Godward.”
--- Charles H. Brent
Don’t Give Up, Look Up!
Look up and
Fix Your Eyes on Jesus!
help me to simplify my
life by doing only what you lead me to do
Pray:
“Dear Lord Jesus, I really desire to
play ‘follow the leader’ with you. I’m sorry for always offering my own opinion
and doing things my way. From now on I want to open my life up to your express
plans and purposes for me. I choose to fix my gaze on you, by your Word and
your Spirit, and watch for every movement you make so that I can follow your
lead. Lead me in the way to get through these problems I have caused by
self-centred decision making and help me to simplify my life by doing only
what you lead me to do. Amen.”
