God’s purpose for you is unique. No one else can fulfil the plan he has for you. So, wait patiently for him to drive you straight and true.”

Ephesians 1:11
In him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will.

This devotional is called GodTracker. This title describes the primary purpose of every Christian
believer: tracking the plans and purposes of God. Scripture makes it plain; God has a plan and a purpose for each one of us. Yet, God’s ways are not our ways and our ways are not God’s ways.

A Scotchman was demonstrating the new game of golf to President Ulysses Grant. He carefully placed the ball on the tee and took a mighty swing. The club hit the turf and scattered dirt all over the President's beard and clothes, while the ball placidly sat on the tee. Again and again, the Scotchman swung, and again he missed. The President waited patiently through six tries and then quietly said, "There seems to be a fair amount of exercise in the game, but I fail to see the purpose of the ball.”

We smile but the truth is, the ball had a purpose. Its purpose was to fly straight and true to the green to be putted into the cup. Unfortunately, the demonstrator of this new game failed to connect with the ball. Chaos ensued. However, the ball remained patiently on the tee waiting to be hit.

God has a plan for you according to the counsel of his will. Sometimes, his will for you may seem to take a long time to materialise. Sometimes, chaos may ensue around you as you wait for him to direct your path to victory. God’s purpose for you is unique. No one else can fulfil the plan he has for you. So, wait patiently for him to drive you straight and true, in his time. Author Frank Peretti said, “'God has created us in his image and put each of us here on earth for specific purposes. That means every human being has intrinsic value, preciousness, meaning and dignity.”

God-tracking is
waiting for him to drive us straight and true.

Don’t Give Up, Look Up & Pray

“Forgive me for my impatience and help me to wait on you despite the chaos that’s going on around me.”

“Dear Lord, I know you have a plan to use me here at home, at work and in my church. Your purposes are according to the counsel of your will for my life. And yet, O Lord, I often find myself sitting quietly on the tee, waiting to be driven straight and true. Forgive me for my impatience and help me to wait patiently for you despite the chaos that’s going on around me. Dear Lord, open your way – your opportunities – for me to follow the plans you know you have for me. Amen.”
