“So, trust the plans of God
without relying on your own insight. He who promised is faithful and he will do
it. And that’s what God-tracking is all about.”
1 Thessalonians 5:24
He
who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
Abraham had a God-given purpose. God had called him from his home to settle in a faraway land called Canaan. God gave Abraham a promise saying, “I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.” Though Abraham was over 90 years old and his wife was barren, God promised him that he would become a dad. God knew the plans he had for Abraham, plans for a future filled with hope and purpose.
However, since his wife, Sarah, was barren and old, Abraham became impatient and made his own plan to fulfil God’s purpose. Thus, Ishmael was born of Sarah’s maidservant (a custom acceptable in those days). Later God fulfilled his promise to Abraham when Sarah became pregnant with Isaac. Sadly, because Abraham pre-empted the purpose of God by making his own plans, the descendants of Ishmael became enemies of the descendants of Isaac.
Be encouraged to always trust the plans that God knows he has for you. Acknowledge the Lord in all your ways and refuse to make your own plans to fulfil God’s purposes. As we see in Abraham’s case, the plans of man will always be in opposition to the plans of God. So, trust the plans of God without relying on your own insight. He who promised is faithful and he will do it. And that’s what God-tracking is all about.
God-tracking is trusting the plans and purposes of God.
IT’S ALL IN THE BIBLE. READ ALL ABOUT IT.

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY
“You are faithful, Lord, and I believe your plans will work out for my future filled with hope and purpose.”
“Dear Lord, I know and believe that you have glorious plans for my life. I confess Jesus to be my personal Lord and Saviour and therefore, trust that the plans you have for me are personal and for my good. Forgive me for making my own plans or pre-empting your plans by jumping to conclusions. I acknowledge you, O Lord, in all my ways and trust you to fulfil your purposes in my life according to your plans and not mine. You are faithful, Lord, and I believe your plans will work out for my future filled with hope and purpose. Amen.”
