“God has something new for you. Just, keep going. Never give up. Look up and remember, the bumps in the road are not the road.”
1
John 5:4
For whatever is born of God overcomes
the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
Now in my sixties, I can relate many stories of the bumpy roads that I’ve travelled. Perhaps like me, you know what it’s like to be criticised. You know what it’s like to lose opportunity and face a seemingly empty future. I have faced financial difficulty, illness and loss. You see, God never promised us a smooth road on the great trek of life. We are not called to traverse a wide and easy path. Jesus told us that the gate is narrow and the way is difficult which leads to life. He said, “In the world you will have tribulation,” but then he added, “Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
No matter your age, Jesus will never leave your side. He sits beside you in the carriage as you bump along the roads of life. God’s promise to you is, “I know the plans I have for you; plans for wellbeing, peace and blessing.” You’re never too old to discover God’s plans. Indeed, as long as you are breathing God has a plan for your life.
Therefore, be of good cheer, Jesus has overcome the bumps in the road you’re traveling. And this is the victory that overcomes, even your faith in God’s plans. God has something new for you. Just, keep going. Never give up. Look up and remember, the bumps in the road are not the road.
God-tracking is negotiating the bumps with faith in God’s plans

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY
“As long as I have breath in my chest, I know your plans will prevail.”
“Lord Jesus, I am so grateful that you walk with me as I travel this dumpy road of life. Forgive me for ever taking my eyes off you and looking down at the dumps in the road. I choose now to life my gaze and put my trust in your plans for my future. Help me to face the difficulties along the way. Meet my needs, I pray, and guide my footsteps every day. As long as I have breath in my chest, I know your plans will prevail. Amen.”
