Dear God-tracker
God-tracking
is walking in the light of his
glory and grace
In 1922 Helen Lemmel wrote a wonderful song, still sung
extensively 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.
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.”
I know of a woman who, together with her family, deeply loved and
served the Lord. We’ll call her Jan. Sadly Jan had a slow degenerate disease
that was to eventually take her life. However, as a young woman she married a
loving man and had two wonderful children. Her children grew up to know and
love Jesus, too. One day her 21-year old son, an avid motorcycle enthusiast,
was coming home late one night and had an accident that took his life. The
family was devastated but Jan held them together with the hope that only Jesus
can offer. Shortly afterward her daughter married and left home. It was then
that her husband had an extra marital affair and left Jan to marry another
woman. Jan was left alone and dejected with a debilitating disease. As the
years rolled by she became increasingly ill until, in her mid-60s, Jan passed
away.
A sad life, indeed. Or was it? Throughout her trials right up
until her last breath Jan never denied her Lord. She remained true to
worshipping and loving God with all her heart, soul and flesh. She always had
faith, hope and cheer and, in spite of her circumstance, she acknowledged the
Lord every day, walking in his tender care. Jan kept her eyes on Jesus and in
her times of deepest despair she 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 going through a Jan experience today.
Perhaps you’ve been deserted or rejected by a loved one. Maybe you’ve suffered
loss and bereavement. Possibly you’ve lost your security and tomorrow looks a
little less than rosy from where you’re standing today. When you feel as though
the cords of death have entangled you and
you’re being overcome by trouble and sorrows, call on his name. The Lord is
gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion and will
deliver you, always!
So continue to acknowledge the Lord in all your ways, keep your eyes
on Jesus and scorn that cross ahead of you. Hold onto
the promises of God through every trial, standing in the authority of his name
and his word to save, deliver and heal you. Remember, Jesus is already
on the other side of your tomorrow meeting your every need.
God-tracking is walking in the light of his glory
and grace.
Blessings

Sample of Dudley’s Fave Quotes
“Deliverance is always found on the ‘mount’; living
faith must first prove to God that it has taken his word and promise for
victory.” --- Rees Howels
Don’t Give Up, Look Up!
Look up and Fix Your
Eyes on Jesus!
“So here I am again, Lord, desperate for your help. I admit that I
can’t face these difficulties in my own strength; I need your strength. So I
choose to give up on my own efforts to get through this mess and put my
confidence in your power to save, deliver and heal me. I turn my eyes upon
Jesus and look full in his wonderful face. I acknowledge you in all my needs
and believe that you will meet them according to your riches in Jesus. Help me
face tomorrow, Lord, in your glory and grace. Amen.”
