1 Timothy 6:6
Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

How do we measure success? Do we measure it by productivity or a booming bank balance? Or do we measure success by achieving contentment?

Jeff ran a small business. He was soon making good money, but, sadly, he failed to acknowledge God and was never content. He pressed forward in blind ambition. One day, Jeff entered into a deal that failed. Soon his company collapsed, leaving him in debt and destitute.  

The scripture says that unless the Lord builds the house, the labourers labour in vain. It also says that whatever we do, we should walk in godliness and acknowledge God in all our ways. My encouragement to you today is to get out from under God’s feet and into his hands. Acknowledge the Lord and be content in the level of success he brings your way. As Benjamin Franklin Said, "Content makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor." 

God-tracking is being content to work hand-in-hand with God

Philippians 1:6
…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Here’s wishing you and yours a truly hope-filled and blessed 2026. One thing I have learned, as I have tracked the plans of God throughout my life, is this: God’s new is always new, and in this New Year, I believe He is doing a new thing in your life. Be encouraged to live expectantly of God’s plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

In a world faced with terrorism, rampant secularism and Christian persecution and war, it’s so good to know that the Lord our God has made a way for us to walk in peace and hope. In Christ, we enjoy a surpassing peace; not peace as the world knows it, but a deep inner peace in whatever conflict we may face. And the hope that he has given us comes from the faith generated by the words of Jesus, the author and perfecter of our lives.

Jesus faced opposition on every side, yet he rested in God’s perfect will for his life even when it cost him his life on the cross. However, Jesus faced crucifixion in full confidence that the Spirit of God would raise him from the dead and seat him at the right hand of God in glory. We are called follow this example by fixing our eyes on Jesus and not on the difficulties surrounding us, gleaning from the faith his word produces in us.

God-tracking, therefore, is facing every new day and every new year and every new challenge with faith and confidence that he will guide us through troubled, needy times with great peace, in the hope of his good plans for our lives. Corrie Ten Boom said, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” If 2026 appears anything less than rosy from where you’re standing today, then don’t give up but look up into the eyes of Jesus and say, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

God-tracking is facing the future with peaceful confidence

“I encourage you, in your dilemma, to seek your Lord’s face evermore. I encourage you to rest in God’s strength and peace. He who knows your tomorrow will guide you through today.”

Psalm 105:4
Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!

Roy had been married to his wonderful wife, Carol for more than 45 years when she was diagnosed
with cancer. She was his stalwart, the pillar of his very existence. Roy was the pastor of a small yet thriving church. He was its visionary and spiritual strength but Carol was the one who held it all together. How would he ever survive if she passed on?

Weeks and months passed. Carol’s prognosis was dire. Chemotherapy had taken its toll. Sadly, after a tough battle with pneumonia, Carol passed away. Roy was devastated. How would he cope? He had always rested in the counsel of his Lord and now, more than ever, he called on Jesus for strength and hope.

“Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face evermore,” he read. “Remember his marvellous works which he has done.” God’s word was Roy’s hope. He remembered the many good years when his Lord had strengthened him through adverse circumstances. Carol by his side, he had faced gruelling opposition to his ministry. Together they had faced times of need and hardship, yet their Lord had never abandoned them; his love, grace and provision had sustained them through it all. “Lord, Carol is not with me anymore, but I know she is with you. Though separated by the great divide, I know we’re still together, in you, and soon I will be by her side again. I remember your marvellous works, O Lord, and seek your face for today and tomorrow,” Roy prayed.

Loss, depression, disappointment and bereavement face us all from time to time. It could be you’re presented with a situation today where you’ve lost the one thing that held your head above the raging tides. As Roy did, I encourage you, in your dilemma, to seek your Lord’s face evermore. Remember how he guided you through hardships in the past and trust that he will do the same again. He who knows your tomorrow will guide you through today.

God-tracking is seeking his face evermore.

“O Lord, I don’t know how I will face tomorrow. It seems my world has come apart. Loss and difficulty face me at every turn. Yet, O God my Lord, I remember that in every adverse situation I have faced in the past, you have pulled me through. Today I fix my eyes on Jesus; I seek you and your strength, my Lord. I seek your face evermore. I know you know my tomorrow and will guide me through today. Amen.”

“Expel those doubts and remind yourself of the miracles and the good things he has done for you. He can turn your mourning into dancing and your darkest night into day.”

Deuteronomy 10:21
He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.

I’d toddled off to the kitchen to make a steaming beverage for my family. In the lounge were Karen, my wife, Ryan and Amy, my son and daughter-in-law, and their children Ruben, Grace and Zac. As I waited for the kettle to boil, I was thinking about life. “Lord,” I prayed quietly, “I know you’re a miracle-working God yet I’ve not seen any healings.” Like the next guy, I have often prayed for healing and I know God heals but at that moment I had forgotten the goodness of the God I serve and I was absorbed by my doubts. Turning my back on the kettle I grumbled, “Lord, I wish I could just see a miracle.”

Just then, my 11-year-old grandson, Ruben popped his head out the lounge door and looked at me. He then withdrew back into the lounge without uttering a word. Instantly the Holy Spirit reminded me of an awesome healing miracle that my eyes had seen.

When Ruben was a mere 3 weeks old he was rushed to hospital with suspected sepsis. Sepsis is extremely dangerous for a small infant. Karen and I hurried to the hospital to be with Amy and Ryan and to pray for little Ruben. Ruben was fitting uncontrollably. Then the unimaginable happened, he stopped breathing. Medics rushed to his side to resuscitate him. After he was resuscitated, they made plans to transfer Ruben to an intensive care unit in a specialised children’s hospital. We continued to pray and trust God for a miracle. There he was, his small form, infiltrated by a respirator and myriad monitoring machines.

Twenty-four hours later, Karen and I visited him again. To our amazement, the cables and tubes had been removed. “He’s on the mend,” said the ICU sister. “I have never seen such a quick turnaround in all my working life,” she added. Ruben was healed… miraculously!

Ruben said nothing to me that day when he looked at me from the lounge. I believe the Holy Spirit used him to simply pry me from my moping doubts and remind me that he is my God who has done great and awesome things for me, which my eyes have seen.

We serve a miracle-working God. There is nothing too difficult for the Lord. Expel those doubts and remind yourself of the miracles and the good things he has done for you. He can turn your mourning into dancing and your darkest night into day.

God-tracking is remembering the things he has done.

“Stand strong! He is your shield and the One who lifts your head. Don’t be tempted to fight the way of the world, fight by the way of David.”

2 Corinthians 10:3
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

We know the story well of how young David overcame the Philistine giant, Goliath. The Philistine army and the Israelite army were at a standoff. To decide the victory, they opted for champion warfare where one army would select its strongest warrior to battle the strongest warrior of the other in one-on-one combat. The victor would win the battle for his army. So, Goliath, a mighty giant of a man, was chosen by the Philistines but none of the Israelite men were prepared to fight him.

Along comes David, a teenage shepherd boy, whose brothers were fighting on the frontline. He came to the battlefield with supplies for his brothers. Hearing Goliath’s threats, young David, filled with the Holy Spirit offers to fight the Philistine. So, King Saul clothed David with his personal armour, but this was not what David was used to. So, David takes off the king’s armour and advances against the giant with a mere slingshot and five smooth stones. With God’s help, David slings a stone at Goliath which hits him squarely in the forehead. Concussed, the giant falls to the ground, at which point the boy David beheads him with his own sword. David was victorious not by the ways of man but by the ways of God.

Are you facing a giant today? When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. Don’t be tempted to adorn yourself with the regalia of the world, stand strong under the standard of your Lord. When fighting your giants, turn to the weapons that God has given you rather than what the world tries to put on you. Your weapons are supernatural and mighty in God for tearing down strongholds. The world will offer you its carnal armour to deal with your giants but, in Christ, you have armour far greater than what the world could ever offer you: a breastplate of righteousness, shoes of God’s word (stand upon the word of God), a shield of faith, a helmet of salvation (to guard your thoughts), and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

So, stand strong! He is your shield and the lifter of your head. Don’t be tempted to fight by the way of the world, fight by the way of David. David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, he will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. You will win the fight.

God-tracking is standing strong in the armour of the Lord

“I trust you, O Lord, to bring me victory in this fight. For the battle is not mine, but God’s.”

You are the source of my healing, my provision, my guidance and my victory. I trust you, O Lord, to bring me victory in this fight. For the battle is not mine, but God’s. Amen!”
