“You are one of a kind. God has a unique purpose for you. So, pray with the psalmist, “Search me, O God, and know my heart. And lead me in the way everlasting.”

Psalm 139:15
My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret

In his book on near-death experiences, Imagine Heaven, John Burke writes, “He alone knows who he created you to be. He alone knows what a successful life uniquely means for you, not compared to others but compared to what he had in his mind before he created anything! I believe the reason people having NDEs say, ‘I feel like I’d been here before,’ or ‘I feel like I already existed,’ is because they did exist in the mind of God, eternally.” ¹

The scripture makes it clear that you and I were already in the mind of God before we were conceived. God is omniscient, that is, he knows everything about everything. God is also eternal, which means that he encompasses space and time. Therefore, there is nothing about anything that God does not know, past, present or future. He knew your name before the creation of the world. What’s more is, God knows every nuance of your life, past, present and future. This is great news because it means that you and I can rest assured that the circumstances of our lives are wrapped up in his knowing. And if he knows all about you, then you can be sure that your life will work out according to the plans he knows he has for you.

The only thing that could distort God’s plan for your life is your own choices. The one auspicious privilege that God has given mankind is free will. So today, make it your choice to follow God’s plans for your life by acknowledging him in all your ways. Scripture assures us that if we acknowledge God in our walk of life then our life’s track will line up with his eternal knowledge of us. Acknowledge God by receiving Christ as Lord, and acknowledge God by renewing your mind daily through his holy word. Do this, and you will track his will for your life.

You are one of a kind. God has a unique purpose for you. He is acquainted with all your ways. So, pray with the psalmist, “Search me, O God, and know my heart. And lead me in the way everlasting.”

God-tracking is knowing he is acquainted with all your ways.

His Blueprint for Your Life

“To know and walk according to the plans of God; to live by his righteousness and kingdom principles, you and I need to learn to live out the new inner nature.”

Galatians 5:16
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

Jesus is the blueprint of God for your life. The Bible says that we have all sinned and corrupted his perfect, righteous image in which we were originally created. Indeed, God sent us the Law of Moses, but it was rendered powerless in that it was weakened by our sinful nature. Therefore, he sent Jesus, his only begotten Son, to reconcile us to himself. Because Jesus is God in the flesh, he was and is perfectly sinless. Even so, God’s plan was to allow Jesus to take the curse of sin upon himself when he died for us on the cross. You see, God imputed Jesus with your sin at Calvary so that you could be imputed with his righteousness through repentance and by faith. Only in Christ can you become the righteousness of God. Jesus in you is God’s original plan for your life.

Many people think that they need to work really hard to earn God’s favour, but this is impossible. God is so holy and so righteous that we would need to become as righteous as he is in order to earn his favour. But Jesus is already as righteous as God, because Jesus is God. Therefore, to be holy as God is holy, you and I need to intentionally repent of sin and then live our lives by faith. The moment you truly admit to your failings, you die to the old nature of sin. Then, the moment you truly exercise faith in Jesus, you begin to live by God’s righteousness.

Jesus told us to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. When you asked Jesus into your life, God’s righteousness was imputed into your spirit-man; that is, you were implanted with God’s goodness. When you seek God’s righteousness, you are actually seeking to live by the newly created spirit-man within you and not the flesh-man on the outside.

Therefore, to know and walk according to the plans of God; to live by his righteousness and kingdom principles, you and I need to learn to live out the newly created inner nature. God does have a great and perfect blueprint for your life, but you will only discover his plans by living by the Spirit, in faith.

God-tracking is faithfully living by God’s righteous blueprint.

Therefore, the life I live in the flesh I live by faith in your righteousness. Jesus is the blueprint of your goodness by which I stand.

Psalm 27:1(a)
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

The king sat alone in the Tabernacle's outer courts, praying. Whenever his enemies rose up against him and the responsibilities of governing his people with wisdom and grace took their toll, David would come down from Jerusalem and just sit quietly in the Tabernacle to meditate upon the goodness of God. That day, the king had commanded his guards to remain outside the tabernacle boundary and had requested that the priests leave him alone for a while, as he always did when he visited God’s dwelling. King David was not a priest, so he was not permitted into the holy place, but he sat down on the ground beside the altar at the edge of the tent where he could smell the fragrances of myrrh, cinnamon, cane and cassia coming from within. David loved these moments. There, in the dust of the earth, he began tracing out the words, “One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life…”

King David was a great man. He was the only king of Israel who had truly obeyed the decrees of the Lord until his dying day. David was no angel, mind you. As a great warrior, he had much blood on his hands, and he’d committed murder and adultery. Yet David’s heart was pure, and he was quick to repent of his sins. In fact, it is written of King David that he was the apple of God’s eye. Here we see David pursuing his greatest pleasure – to reside in the dwelling of God. In the midst of turmoil and violence; in the thick of conflict and war King David knew that the Lord’s presence was his source and resource. The presence of God – in prayer – was always the place of his security, hope and rejuvenation.

Perhaps you find yourself in the thick of conflict or confusion today. Perhaps, when you look back over the past few months or years, all you can see is disappointment and failure. Well, if that’s you, then don’t give up, look up! Make a conscious effort to rise and seek the dwelling of the Lord in prayer. David spent many a day in the Tabernacle, still before his God when his soul was downcast. The dwelling of the Lord is a place of fragrant peace. Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” And the dwelling place of God is in your heart. If you know Christ as Lord and Saviour, then your body has become the very temple of the Lord God Almighty! So, rest in him today wherever you are, and he will hide you in the shadow of his wings on the day of trouble.

God-tracking is dwelling in the presence of God, always.

“Father God, I admit that I am feeling a bit spiritually destitute at the moment. I confess that I have not spent enough time in your presence, in prayer. I know that I can never leave your omnipresence, but today I choose to seek your presence afresh! I want to rest in the shadow of your tent, in the fragrance of your company.

2 Corinthians 5:7
We live by faith, not by sight.

It was a cold, dark winter’s night when I set up my humble telescope in the back garden to gaze at the stars. I love stargazing. I think the Lord gives us a taste of his glory and extravagance in the enormity of the Milky Way. This night I trained my telescope on Saturn. Apart from Earth, I think Saturn is the most beautiful planet in our solar system. As I twisted the focus knob, the image began to take shape in my lens. I was completely awestruck by the tiny spectacle I saw of the second-largest planet in our solar system with its magnificent rings. At its closest, Saturn is 746 million miles away from my telescope, yet I saw it as clearly as though I were almost upon it.

Faith is telescopic! In Habakkuk 3, we read, “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Saviour.” From where the prophet was standing, the future looked pretty bleak. In his flesh, he may have wondered how in the world the Lord would restore his people. But even as he gazed into the future, Habakkuk knew that the Lord was already on the other side of tomorrow, meeting their every need. He was able to gaze into the distance through the telescope of faith, and as he did so, he declared, “The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights.”

Perhaps you’re facing imminent difficulties today and feel that there is no way you’ll get through tomorrow. Maybe you’re wondering how you will ever overcome the astronomical financial mess you’re in. It could be that you’re praying for a loved one far off, who is sick in body or afflicted in soul. Well, if that’s you, then allow me to encourage you to pick up your humble telescope of faith and look through those clouds and on to the stars beyond.

The prayer of faith will make the sick person well. Jesus said that with God, all things are possible. The Lord Almighty, who spoke the universe into being, is the One who calls things that are not as though they are. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of a life we cannot see, from here. All the great heroes of faith in Hebrews 11 saw what they hoped for from a distance and welcomed the promises of God from afar.

Perhaps from where you’re standing, all hope seems a million miles away. If so, then gaze through the scope of faith and, in prayer, lay hold of the promises of God by fixing your eyes on Jesus and not on your dilemma.

“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.”

Psalm 116:2
Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live

In 1922 Helen Lemmel wrote a wonderful song, still sung extensively in churches 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.

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,” and, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”

I know of a woman who, together with her family, deeply loved and served the Lord. We’ll call her Sandra. Sadly, Sandra had a slow degenerative disease that was to take her life eventually. However, as a young woman, she married a loving man and had two wonderful children. Her children grew up to know and love Jesus. One day, her 21-year-old son, an avid motorcycle enthusiast, was coming home late one night and had a motor accident that took his life. The family was devastated, but Sandra held them together with the hope that only Jesus can offer. Shortly after her daughter married and left home, her husband had an extramarital affair and left Sandra to marry another woman. Sadly, after her granddaughter was born, Jan’s daughter died of meningitis. Sandra was left alone and dejected with a debilitating disease. As the years rolled by, she became increasingly ill until, in her mid-60s, Sandra passed away.

A tragic life story, indeed. Or was it? Up to her last breath, Sandra never denied her Lord. She remained true to worship and love God with all her heart, soul and body. She always had faith and cheer, and despite her dire circumstances, she continued to acknowledge the Lord every day, walking in his tender care. During her times of deepest darkest despair, Sandra 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 facing a Sandra scenario today. Perhaps you’ve been deserted or rejected. Maybe you’ve suffered loss, bereavement or illness; you’ve lost your security, and tomorrow looks a little less than rosy from where you’re standing today. If that’s you, then 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.

God-tracking is turning your eyes upon Jesus.

“He will certainly not abandon you but will surely take care of you. He knows how you got into this mess and he knows how you’ll get out of it.”

Exodus 13:19 (NASB)
“…God will certainly take care of you…”

Pete and Jan were doing well. He was running a successful small business while she looked after the three kids at home. Pete’s business was growing as new opportunities opened to him. Both are Bible-believing Christians, acknowledging God in all they do. Then one day, all hell broke loose. Pete lost a large contract in which he had invested all their savings. Jan fell ill and found it increasingly difficult to care for the children. “Why, O Lord?” cried Pete. “What’s going on? I need help!” Pete and Jan’s story is common. A young couple finding their feet in life only to have the rug pulled out from beneath them. I’ve been there. Have you?

The Bible makes it clear that God knows the plans he has for you. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. He knows your situation right now and he will come to your rescue. We read that the enemy of our souls, Satan, prowls around like a lion seeking to devour us. Our battle is not against human forces but against demonic forces in the spiritual realm. Satan is intent on derailing you from the purposes of God.

Be strong and courageous, the Lord is with you. He is your helper. He will meet all your needs according to his magnificent riches in Jesus. He will certainly not abandon you but will surely take care of you. He knows how you got into this mess and he knows how you’ll get out of it. Your Lord is already on the other side of your tomorrow. So, stand together in the power of prayer and set your eyes on Jesus, trusting him as the author and perfector of your faith.

God-tracking is getting through tough times with the care of the Lord.

“Your Lord is turning you into a mighty warrior, and, together with him, you will strike down the enemy.”

Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

The impoverished Israelites called out to God when they were under suppression by the Midianites. Every harvest time, the Midianites would ransack their land and plunder their crops. It became so intense that God’s people began threshing their grain in winepresses to hide it from their enemy. The Lord responded by sending an angel to a young man called Gideon. “The LORD is with you, mighty warrior,” said the angel. Then the angel went on to explain how God had called Gideon to deliver his people from the hand of the Midianites. Flabbergasted and timid, young Gideon might have said, “Dear Lord, I think you’ve got the wrong man. A warrior? Me? No way!” The Bible says he asked, “How can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” But through the angel, the Lord answered Gideon, "I will be with you, and we will strike down all the Midianites together.”

You may feel as though you’re the least in your family or community. You may think you’re uneducated, untalented and unqualified to serve the Lord. You may find yourself today hiding in the shadows as Gideon hid in a winepress, because you’re afraid of what the future might hold or what the devil might bring against you. If that’s you, then let me encourage you with the words that the angel used to encourage Gideon. The Lord says, “I will be with you, and we will strike down all the enemy together.”

Just as young Gideon rose to defeat the Midianites and become one of the greatest judges at this time in Israel’s history, so the Lord your God is raising you up to serve him at this time in your life. He may not be calling you to the mission field or to pastor a church or defeat an army, but the Lord is calling you to go and share your life story with others. You have a mighty story to tell of how the Lord has healed you or delivered you from the mirey clay. You have good news to share about the new life you have found in Jesus. The Lord has done wonderful works in your life that will bless and encourage others. So, rise to the challenge to share your faith.

Seize the day! Don’t hold back! Step out in faith and be encouraged to make the most of every opportunity that the Lord is bringing your way. The late evangelist Reinard Bonke said, “Jesus does not choose us because of what we are but because of what he makes us.” Your Lord is turning you into a mighty warrior, and, together with him, you will strike down the enemy.

God-tracking is being a warrior for God.
