“Know this, he who knows the plans he has for you will plant you in his chosen location in his garden. The Gardener may uproot you – even prune you – but you will soon prosper, producing new pleasing fruit.”

Psalm 62:5
My soul, wait silently for God alone. For my expectation is from Him.

Young David had recently killed the Philistine champion, Goliath, and gained victory for the Israelites. Sadly, King Saul was jealous of David’s fame and fortitude and sought to take his life. I could well imagine how David must have felt. He may have hoped that the king would promote him to serve the Lord as Saul’s right hand. Unfortunately, this was not the case. David must have been greatly disappointed. But David knew his God and he knew his God had great plans for him. David writes, “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust.”

Disappointment can be immensely disheartening. You may feel you have trudged through life working so hard to achieve your goals only to be let down by others. Disappointment is not failure. Failure only ensues if you quit. Sometimes God allows your goals to come to naught only to raise you up for new and prosperous opportunities.

Imagine a young tree growing strong in a fine garden. The gardener waters it regularly and gently prunes it every season. It’s growing tall and strong in, what it believes is, a splendid location. One day, the gardener decides that the tree would be far more effective in a different position in the garden. So, he carefully uproots it and replants it in a newly chosen place. The tree may feel forlorn and disappointed, believing he has been rejected by the gardener. Initially, it wilts. It loses many leaves. Its fruit fails for one season but then, as spring arrives anew, the tree takes root and begins to flourish, providing shade to the weary and fruit for the hungry.

Perhaps, like David and our dear tree in this story, you feel you have been let down or rejected. It could be you feel disappointed and abandoned. Know this, he who knows the plans he has for you will plant you in his chosen location in his garden. The Gardener may uproot you – even prune you – but you will soon prosper, producing new pleasing fruit.

God-tracking is being replanted by the divine Gardner.

“Lord, I feel so lost. I’ve been disappointed and let down by others. I feel like I don’t belong in this place anymore. Yet, I know you’ll never abandon your plans for my life.

“Only by grace are you saved and only by grace (God’s favour) can you succeed in the plans God knows he has for you. Grace is God’s doing. Grace is enough. Grace is your success.”

Psalm 90:17
Let the favour of the Lord our God be upon us and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!

What is failure? Failure effects all of us. Some failures seem larger than life while others seem to pass in the breeze like a leaf falling from a tree in autumn. However, we all frown upon failure as if it were cancer gnawing away at the meaning of life. Yet failure is a precursor to success.

Jim Burke was head of a new products division at Johnson & Johnson. One of his first projects was to develop a children's chest rub. The product failed miserably and Jim expected he would be fired. However, when he was called before the chairman of the board, Robert Wood Johnson, he was flabbergasted when the chairman said, "Are you the one who just cost us all that money? Well, I just want to congratulate you. If you are making mistakes, that means you are taking risks, and we won't grow unless you take risks." Some years later, Burke himself became chairman of Johnson & Johnson. Author Bob Gass puts it this way, “In order to grasp the thing at which you succeed you must let go of the thing at which you failed.”

For any tracker of God’s plans, failure is not failure at all. The Scripture reminds us that God knows the plans he has for us and if we acknowledge God in all our ways then it is he who directs the outcome of our lives. Often what we evaluate as failure is nothing more than a steppingstone to the purposes of God. We need to remember it is God who produces the product of our lives. It is his blessing that brings wealth and success, not our performance. You see, as with your salvation, your good works cannot earn God’s favour. Only by grace are you saved and only by grace (God’s favour) can you succeed in the plans God knows he has for you. Grace is God’s doing. Grace is enough. Grace is your success.

“O Lord, I think I have failed at so many things in life. Forgive me for any errors of judgment or sin that may have led me to make decisions contrary to your will. But, I realise now that failure in my life is only part of the process of success. I know I am saved by grace through faith. My salvation cannot be accredited to the work of my hands. Likewise, my work and performance in life cannot be accredited to my doing but to your grace. So, dear Lord, I embrace failures as part of the learning process. You are my teacher and only your blessing will bring success in my life. I seek your blessing on all I do with all my heart. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS GIVING WITH THE RIGHT HEART

GodTracker 737The e-devotional helping to keep you on track with God’s plans for your life.
GodTracker is published at godtracker.co.uk

“For the Christian, giving needs to be an open and honest act; not done to impress others but done cheerfully, with the motive of giving rather than receiving.”

Psalm 37:25I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.

Devotional books by Dudley Anderson

Giving has always been a contentious issue among Christians. Some people believe that when we give, we should never expect anything in return. Others say that giving is a means to gain personal wealth. Which is it?

Jesus advocated giving. Firstly, he endorsed the paying of tithes with the account of the poor widow’s mite. He was sitting opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Secondly, he said things like, “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Elsewhere we read of how Paul was in need and the Philippian folks gave generously to meet his budget. Of their gifts, Paul writes, “They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.” Writing to the Corinthians he says, “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. God loves a cheerful giver.” And God always blesses the one he loves. (Remember, though Paul writes these words, they were inspired by the Holy Spirit – all Scripture is God-breathed.)

God loves the act of giving because God is a giver. Notice what the Scripture says in Philippians 4 verse 19, “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Likewise, Jesus implies that the giver, with the right heart motive, will be profusely blessed in return.
For the Christian, giving needs to be an open and honest act; not done to impress others but done cheerfully, with the motive of giving rather than receiving. Thus done, our God of abundance, who is true to his word, will never see the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread!

God-tracking is giving with the right heart

GOD-TRACKING IS KNOWING WHO YOU ARE, IN CHRIST

GodTracker 694

John 15:7

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

“If you are in Christ then choose to remain there by allowing his word to take up residence in you. Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you.”

Jesus gave us an incredible analogy of how we are connected to him. He said that he is like a grapevine and we are like its branches, while Father God is the vine keeper. By this he was implying that he is like the main stem of the plant while we are the branches that grow from the stem. In other words, Christ is the source of sustenance and nutrition in order that we will bear good fruit. Jesus also went on to say that any branch that does not bear fruit will be pruned away from the vine by the vine keeper. He added, if we remain in him (attached to the vine) and his words remain in us (as our sustenance and nutrition) then we will bear much fruit. Therefore, as Christians, we need to know our place, in the vine – our place in Christ.

The scriptures are packed with thoughts about being in Christ. For instance: we are justified by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ; we are dead to sin and alive to God in Christ; nothing in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ; if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; God will supply our every according to his riches in glory in Christ and God has raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ.

Are you in Christ? Have you admitted to the fact that sin has separated you from the true Vine and that, by confession and repentance, God is able to forgive you and cleanse you so that you can be grafted into that Vine? Do you confess Jesus as your personal Lord and believe that he died and rose again? If you have done this then you are found in Christ! If you are found in Christ then allow the Holy Spirit to prune away the dead fruitless wood so that you may bear new magnificent fruit, to his glory. If you believe you are found in Christ, then choose to remain there by allowing his word to take up residence in you. Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you.

If you are in Christ and his word abides in you, then you can expect great things from your great God.

God-tracking is knowing who you are, in Christ

I sincerely believe that Jesus died and rose again, and I confess him to be my personal Lord and Saviour. Therefore, I believe that, by your grace, I am found in Christ, like a branch found in the stem of its vine. I open my heart and mind to your word. Quicken that word to me by the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Dear Father, prune away all my dead wood, that I may bear new fresh fruit, to your glory. I thank you for the myriad blessings and promises I enjoy by being in Christ. For all of your promises are yes and amen, in him. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS BEING A FAITHFUL AND A CHEERFUL GIVER

GodTracker 693
The e-devotional helping to keep you on-track with God’s plans for your life
GodTracker is published by Sure Reality Media at surereality.net

Philippians 4:19

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

“God has promised to meet all our needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus. If you know Jesus as Lord, then you are in Christ Jesus. If you are in Christ Jesus, you are found in the same place as the riches of God!”

Tracking God’s will requires faithfulness in every aspect of life, not withstanding, giving. Historically, the Church has been accused of money-grabbing. This is a shame. Indeed, there were times in Church history where the institution of the Church (protestant and catholic) has demanded money from its adherents. That too, is a shame. However, God’s word makes it plain that giving is fundamental to Christian living. Afterall, God gave Jesus and Jesus gave his life. Therefore, as God-trackers, I believe we need to be faithful in our giving toward the furtherance of God’s kingdom. Jesus promised, “Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” And he who promised is faithful.

By the grace of God, since receiving our first pay cheques, Karen and I have tithed. At times it was tough… very tough! I remember when I was studying for the ministry and had no regular income. I was 30 at the time with 2 small children to care for. Between us, Karen and I had 9 part-time jobs. Our income was low, but we believed it was still necessary to tithe. God was faithful to his promise to meet all our needs.

One Sunday evening, back in South Africa during my days at Bible school, I was at church leading worship while Karen and the kids were at home. My son Ryan, about 5 at the time, loved performing gymnastic feats. That evening he ran into his bedroom and somersaulted onto his bed. His feet promptly crashed through a large window. Thankfully, the curtains were closed so he did not hurt himself. “Ryan, what have you done!” came the cry from his mom. “It’ll take 200 rand to fix that window!” A few minutes later Karen heard Ryan and his sister, Kerryn praying, “Dear Lord, sorry Ry broke the window. Please give mom R200 to fix it.”

After church, while I was packing away my guitar, someone handed me an envelope. “Thanks,” I muttered and promptly popped it into my pocket. When I arrived home and Karen told me what had happened, I remembered envelope in my pocket. Opening it I found ten R20 notes. He who promised was faithful.

God has called us to be cheerful givers. God has promised that if we sow bountifully we will also reap bountifully. You see, God has promised to meet all our needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus. If you know Jesus as Lord, then you are in Christ Jesus. If you are in Christ Jesus, you are found in the same place as the riches of God! So, be faithful in your giving as you seek to track his will for your life.

God-tracking is being a faithful and a cheerful giver.

Today I choose to be faithful and cheerful in my giving as I trust you to be faithful to your promises to meet my needs. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS BEING READY TO CAST YOUR BREAD UPON THE WATERS

Ecclesiastes 11:1
Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days

Subscribe by e-mail

There’s an Jewish tale that goes: Bar Kappara, an old Jewish sage, was once walking along the seashore of Caesarea, when he noticed a shipwreck out at sea. As he watched, he saw a man swimming from the wreck towards the shore. When the man reached land, he almost collapsed with weariness. Bar Kappara went forward and gave him a helping hand. He then took him home, clothed him, fed him and offered him some money. So, the man went away refreshed and restored.

Some years later, the Jews of Caesarea found themselves in a predicament with the local authorities and decided to send a petition to the Governor. They chose Bar Kappara to go and speak on their behalf. Bar Kappara prayed to God to for guidance. When he reached the palace, he asked to see the Governor. As he was ushered into the presence of the Governor, to his great astonishment, Bar Kappara recognized him as the same man whom he had once saved and helped on the shores of Caesarea.

"What can I do for you, my friend?" said the Governor, recognizing Bar Kappara as his onetime friend in need. "Bar Kappara earnestly begged the Governor to use his influence in helping his fellow countrymen deal with the pending need. Listening carefully to the story, the Governor said, “I will gladly do this favour for you, my friend, because when I was in such a desperate state you helped me to the maximum of your ability, without asking for or expecting any reward. Because of your unselfishness and kindness to me, I shall now help your suffering brethren at your request."
The Governor gave a large sum of money to Bar Kappara saying, “Take this money back as a gift from me. For, although the sum of money you gave me was not as great as this, to me it meant everything at the time of my need. You may return to your brethren and tell them that I am helping them, out of gratitude to you."

Bar Kappara joyfully hurried back with the good news to his friends who were anxiously awaiting his return. Great was the rejoicing among them at Bar Kappara's good tidings. They all acknowledged how true was the saying of King Solomon: "Cast thy bread upon the waters for you shall find it after many days."

You may be faced with the prospect of letting go of a vision or a dream today; or God may be asking you to sow into the needs of another. Be sure that, if you acknowledge God in all your ways, he will guide your life’s track. And if he is guiding your life’s track then you can be sure that the words of Jesus will hold true for you: “For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

GOD-TRACKING IS BEING SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE ONLY BY THE BLESSING OF THE LORD

The e-Devotional helping to keep you on-track

The blessing of the Lord relieves you from the responsibility of striving for achievement, because the blessing of the Lord is powered by God’s sufficient grace.

GOD-TRACKING IS BEING SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE ONLY BY THE BLESSING OF THE LORD

Proverbs 10:22
The blessing of the LORD makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it

One morning R. C. Chapman, known as the apostle of love, was asked how he was feeling. "I'm burdened this morning!" said Chapman. But his happy smile contradicted his words. So, the questioner exclaimed in surprise, "Are you really burdened, Mr. Chapman?" He replied, "Yes, but it's a wonderful burden. It's an overabundance of blessings for which I cannot find enough time or words to express my gratitude!" Seeing the quizzical look on his friend’s face, Chapman added with a smile, "I am referring to Psalm 68:19, which fully describes my condition. In that verse, the Father in heaven reminds us that He 'daily loads us with benefits.'"

Everybody faces down days from time to time. I had one, the other day. For no reason at all, in the middle of the day, I began feeling completely unmotivated and miserable (yes, even pastors have down days). I had no major issues at the office and the family was good, but somehow, I just wanted to shut down and sleep. Just the thought of writing another word or answering the next call became a mountain I dreaded to climb. Probably a lying attack from Satan, but I began questioning my levels of success and achievement. I went to bed that night wondering why I do what I do.

The next morning, I dragged myself to my normal spot where I read and pray. Still pondering the feelings of the day before a scripture came to mind. Through the haze of self-doubt and self-pity I sensed the Holy Spirit say, “I am your source and your resource. It’s not your effort that wins the day, for the blessing of the Lord brings riches, and he adds no sorrow to it.” Instantly I realised that, no matter how hard I labour; no matter how much enthusiasm I attempt muster to do the job, without God’s blessing it will come to nought.

Success is the consequence of God’s blessing. The blessing of the Lord is your source of joy, purpose and accomplishments. Seeking the blessing of God means seeking his favour, his motivation and his drive for all you do. The blessing of the Lord is his endorsement – his signature – at the bottom of the contract saying, “This work is done in my Name!” The blessing of the Lord relieves you from the responsibility of striving for achievement, because the blessing of the Lord is powered by God’s sufficient grace. And grace is God’s doing! So, let’s stand back and agree with R. C. Chapman today, blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.
