“If you acknowledge the counsel of Lord in all your ways, he will direct your life’s track. Only then will his eye be upon you. Only with his eye upon you will you be fully equipped for the great adventure that is your life.”

Psalm 32:8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.

Elizabeth Elliot, the wife of Jim Elliot who was killed in 1956 while attempting to make missionary contact with the Auca people of eastern Ecuador, tells of two adventurers who stopped by to see her. They were loaded with equipment for the rain forest east of the Andes. They sought no advice, just a few phrases to converse with the Indians. Elizabeth writes: "Sometimes we come to God as the two adventurers came to me -- confident and, we think, well-informed and well equipped. But has it occurred to us that with all our accumulation of stuff, something is missing?”

King Saul was the first king of Israel. The man had much potential. He was tall, strong, handsome and came from a good family. Anointed by the prophet Samuel, Saul had all the equipment needed to fulfil the role of king yet he lacked one thing – obedience to the instructions of God. If only he had surrendered his ways to the Lord God and trusted in the counsel of the Almighty.

The adventurers who approached Elizabeth Elliot were zealous and keen to contact the tribes of the Andes. They sought no instruction from the missionary’s wife only further tools to add to their arsenal. Without her advice, they were susceptible to being savagely killed as her husband was. They might have been loaded with equipment but they lacked one item – the counsel of one who knew the way.

If you acknowledge the counsel of the Lord in all your ways, he will direct your life’s track. Only then will his eye be upon you. Only with his eye upon you will you be fully equipped for the great adventure that is your life.

God-tracking is being equipped with the counsel of the Lord

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS DOING LIFE GOD’S WAY

2 Corinthians 13:14
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Sally was sitting flat on the filthy pavement, her back against the shop window. People streamed passed her on the busy city sidewalk, oblivious to her plight. No one noticed her smudged mascara or the dried tear stains on her cheeks. Sally had nowhere to go; rejected by her lover, thrown out of her apartment, now homeless, penniless and alone. Only 3 months prior Sally was safe and secure in a caring home with her husband and 2 children. Sadly, she’d been led astray by an urge to seek for that elusive, “there’s gotta be more to life than this”. Dissatisfied with what she had, she’d left her husband a note, drew their life savings and set off on an adventure to explore the world. Now it was all gone. She sat there alone, longing to fill her stomach with at least the scraps from her dear husband’s plate. “O Lord, I have failed you,” she said between sobs, “I am deeply sorry.”

Sally knew Jesus. She had committed her heart to him in Sunday School as a child. She and her husband had attended a wonderful family friendly church, back home. However, she had become dissatisfied with that same-old routine, day after day and week after week. Discontentment has a way of clouding our judgement. Sally had abandoned her security, her family and even her faith to fulfil a craving for the alternative life. She thought she could make it rich. How she had discovered that she could not do life on her own or in her own way. There is nothing more to live for but to humbly repent and seek God’s will again. Sally dragged herself up to her feet. “Perhaps if I can just get to the train station, God will help me find my way home.”

So many of us think we can make it on our own. Perhaps not as severe as this little story today, but we all, one way or another, often abandon all reason – and God’s will – trying to do life our way. This is folly. There is no way I can do my life any other way, with any meaningful purpose, than to do it God’s way. The scriptures tell us to acknowledge God in all our ways and he will make our paths straight. Scripture tells us to humble ourselves before the Lord and he will lift us up. God knows your past from your future and he knows how to fit everything else in, in-between. If you’ve acknowledged him as Lord, then he is the author of your life.

God-tracking is doing life God’s way

Fix your eyes on Jesus

Help me to return to the place where I left this track, so that I can continue to live content within your will

Pray
“Dear Lord, I’m at my wits end. Please forgive me for taking my eyes off you and seeking to do life my own way. I’ve made a mess of it. I realise now that the only way to do things is to do them your way. Forgive me for stepping out of your will. I make a U-turn now and reaffirm that you are my Lord and my guide. I acknowledge you in all my ways again and trust you to direct my life’s paths. I seek first your will – your kingdom and your righteousness – and trust that everything else in life will fall into place. Help me to return to the place where I left this track, so that I can continue to live content within your will. Amen."

GOD-TRACKING IS TREKKING YOUR UNCHARTED TRACK BY FAITH

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS TREKKING YOUR UNCHARTED TRACK BY FAITH

Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

This life you live as a follower of Christ is a great adventure – a great trek along the highways and byways of time. Where you are going, no one has ever ventured before. You are a pioneer exploring a track that God has designed for only you to walk. Like any great pioneer trekking the wilds of uncharted territory, you will most certainly face hazards and dangers at every turn, but at the same time, you will be rewarded by the discovery of new experiences, new opportunities and new life.

Growing up in South Africa I remember learning about the Great Trek. The Cape of Good Hope was discovered by the Portuguese in 1497 but colonised by the Dutch in 1652. The British arrived in 1795 and took over the administration of this new territory. Sadly, animosity developed between the Dutch (who became known as Afrikaners) and the British. This lead to the Afrikaners deciding to migrate north and east.

Humble families uprooted their homes, collected their livestock and set out in ox wagons in 1830, across dangerous uncharted territory. The Great Trek was a hazardous journey across the great Drakensberg mountains. These families faced marauding tribes, famine and disease for many years until, in 1837, the last of the pioneers settled near the Limpopo River in the far north of the country. Indeed, the pioneers and explorers throughout history are bold adventurous people, setting out on great exploits into the unknown.

It takes faith to trek the wilds of uncharted territory. Hebrews 11 is packed with pioneers of faith who set out to trek the purposes of God with nothing more than his promises in hand. Very few of them ever realised the fulfilment of these promises in their lifetimes. However, they set out believing the Word of an invisible God who would accomplish the impossible on their behalf. God was pleased with their faith and he rewarded those who diligently sought him.

God has a plan for your life; a plan for hope and a prosperous future. However, from where you stand today, it may seem, all you can see are monsters and mountains. It will take faith to set out on that new adventure God has planned for you; faith that comes from his Word. And your faith can grow! So have courage like that of the great explorers of history and set out today in faith, to trek that unknown territory that God has planned specifically for you.

God-tracking is trekking your uncharted track by faith

Blessings

Dudley

“Dear Father. I thank you that you have charted a path for me through the highways of time. Thank you for your purposes for my life and thank you for your promises to fulfil my dreams and aspirations. I commit my way to you. I commit the adventure of my life to you. I seek your will and your plans for my life. I acknowledge you in all my ways and trust you will guide me and provide for me across this uncharted territory I face. Today, I step out in faith; faith that you who promised, is faithful and you will do it. Help me to walk this great trek of my life, into the unknown, with the courage and determination of a great explorer. Amen.”
