Dear God-tracker
God-tracking is sinking your roots deep
into GOD’S word in search of HIS living water
The tender sapling beneath the great Oak was just one year old yet
he knew well the taste of drought. As an acorn he had not fallen far from the
mighty tree as it grew near the river. His young roots had quickly found living
water and the acorn had germinated into a strapping young plant. But now,
somehow, the river’s water seemed out of reach. There was only one thing the
sapling could do: extend his roots deeper into the substrate of the earth in
search of that life giving moisture.
A tree is comprised primarily of two sections, one above ground
and the other beneath the surface. The leaves, branches and the trunk – the
part we view as the tree – is only as
secure and healthy as its root system. The roots collect both nutrients from
the earth and water. You could say that the earth is its food while the water
is its life. When dry seasons come along a tree will focus its energy on root
development, digging deeper into the substrate of the earth to find more life
giving moisture
The scripture tells us that the man who walks honourably before
God is like a tree planted by streams of water and that he delights in God’s
word. As Christians we have been made righteous before God through Jesus. This
means that, by God’s grace, you are that man who walks honourably before God.
As such you are planted by streams of water; these streams are the living
waters that Jesus spoke about in John 4. Scripture also says that man does not
live by natural bread alone but by every word that God speaks, and Jesus is
that Word - the bread of life.
Therefore, dear God-tracker, like that sapling, if you feel as
though your river has dried up then sink
your roots down deeper into the substrate of God’s word and draw living water
from his Holy Spirit. And here’s the promise: you will yield your fruit in season your leaf will
not wither and whatever you do will prosper!
God-tracking is sinking your
roots deep into God’s word in search of his living water.
Grow strong.

Thank you for your living water
Pray:
“Lord it feels as though I’m going
through a drought again. Like that sapling in today’s trACker I was originally planted
alongside a mighty river but somehow it seems as though that river has dried
up. But I know you haven’t dried up, O Lord! So today I make a conscious
decision to sink my roots deeper into your word that I may find that live
giving moisture of your presence, Holy Spirit, once again. I will not take note
of Satan’s attempt to dry up the flow of your blessings but I will reach out
deeper by faith into your promises. Lord I claim your blessings and your
healing. Lord I claim your fullness and anointing on everything as I continue
to acknowledge you in all I do. Thank you for your living water. Amen.”
