Dear God
Tracker
God-tracking
requires loyal discipleship, but by his strength
Another term to describe the term God
Tracker is disciple. Jesus was once talking about the cost of discipleship when
he said that if anyone desires to be his disciple they need to be ready to deny
every aspect of their private ambitions, including family, and take up their
cross to follow him. When Jesus told us to “hate” our families he was not
saying that we should despise or reject them in any way (for instance, one of
the Ten Commandments commands us to honour our fathers and mothers) but he was
pointing out that our relationship with God, through Christ, is supreme to
every other relationship we might have. Now that’s costly!
How much does it cost to build a house? If
you were to sit down and add up the costs of buying land, hiring an architect, acquiring
the building materials and workmen you would find it to be quite expensive.
Then there’s the effort involved in managing the project and ensuring that the
builders do a good job. Building a house takes money, time and dedication. Once
you start you shouldn’t stop. If you under cost your materials or lose interest
then the project would come to a standstill. Just the same, if you desire to be
a God Tracker then there is a cost and a commitment involved.
Perhaps you have been walking with Christ
for some time but you feel as though you’re running out of steam in the effort
of being his disciple. It may be that you are unequally yoked in a relationship
and God is calling you to deny selfish interests in respect of godly morals. Or
perhaps you feel you simply just can’t afford the costs of being a God Tracker.
Then let me encourage you to come to Jesus if you are weary in your
God-tracking. He told us to take up his yoke – in other words to link with him
and let him do the work – and then we would find rest for our souls. Being a
disciple of Christ takes total commitment and is very costly. But you and I
will only succeed in God-tracking by the strength he gives through the Holy
Spirit. After all, by the Holy Spirit Jesus is still our discipler.
God-tracking requires loyal discipleship, but
by his strength.

A Sample of Dudley’s Fave Quotes.
“We
shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us
something but to make us something.” --- Oswald Chambers
Don’t
Give-up, Look-up!
Look-up and Fix Your Eyes On Jesus!
I’m
Yoked with You and Your Yoke Is Easy
Pray
“Dear Lord I admit that I have become
weary in my walk with you. I hear your challenge to give up certain parts of my
life in order to follow you more closely. I’m sorry for becoming unyoked with
Jesus and unequally yoked with the world. I take my eyes off of my selfish
desires and surrender once again to be a dedicated tracker of God. I come to
Jesus and take up his burden of discipleship once again. And I know that I
don’t do this alone, because I’m yoked
with you and your yoke is easy and your burden is light. Lord I love you
and desire your perfect will for my life. Bless my loved ones as I give them to
you in order to make you Lord of my life. In Jesus Christ. Amen.”
