“Indeed, the will of God will
not place you where the grace of God cannot keep you. Remaining in the will of
God may seem gruelling at times but his grace will suffice.”
2
Corinthians 12:9
And He said to me, “My grace is
sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
Dwelling in the will of God is always a place of security and peace. However, dwelling in the will of God is seldom a comfortable place to live. Ask any missionary serving God in the field. Ask Apostle Peter or Apostle Paul. Better yet, Ask Jesus Christ. Jesus, confronted by the will of God in Gethsemane, prayed, “Abba, everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
Elisabeth Elliot said, “The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end, it's going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.” In Gethsemane, Jesus faced crucifixion. Facing the will of God was torturous for Jesus. Yet, we read that he looked beyond the crucifixion and perceived the joy of the resurrection, the accession and being seated at the right hand of God in glory. Grace is God’s doing and the God’s grace enabled Jesus to follow the will of God through the cross and on to victory.
Indeed, the will of God will not place you where the grace of God cannot keep you. Remaining in the will of God may seem gruelling at times but his grace will suffice. So, fix your gaze on Jesus, the author of your faith, and remain true to the will of God.
God-tracking is following the will of God empowered by grace.

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY
“Grace is your doing so, help me to do your will by grace even when your will takes me to places of discomfort.”
“O sovereign Lord, your will is paramount to me. I desire to follow your plans and remain true to your will all my life even if your will is difficult. I know you are always with me so help me, O Lord, to face my Gethsemane by your grace. Grace is your doing so, help me to do your will by grace even when your will places me outside my comfort zone. Like Jesus, for the joy set before me, I look beyond my cross and see myself victorious on the other side. Amen.”
