“If we take our eyes off Jesus, we will cause a kink in our Christian track that will become amplified throughout life until eventually we change lanes and become disqualified.”

Luke 9:62
But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

“I was winning the race,” said Rosemarie as she bragged about being an ace athlete at school. “It was the 200m. I was in the third lane and was making good ground. My arch opponent was in the second lane and gaining on me. As I ran, I turned my head and looked behind me to see how far ahead I was. Unwittingly, as I looked back, I drifted over into lane two,” said Rosemarie. “I won the race but was disqualified for changing lanes. If I had not looked back, I would have been champion.”

Jesus said, “No one, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” He was answering disciples who said they would follow him anywhere. They knew that, when ploughing a field, the farmer sets his gaze on a spot on the far side of the field, without looking back at the ploughed furrows. If he shifts his focus and looks back, he will create a small kink in the furrow he is ploughing. He might not even notice the kink until he completes ploughing the field. Then he’ll notice that small kink has become amplified by every pass until it became a large wave in the ploughed furrows upon completion.

Tracking the Christian life is like running a race or ploughing a field. We need to set our gaze on Jesus, the author of our lives, without looking back. If we take our eyes off Jesus, we will cause a kink in our Christian track that will eventually become amplified throughout life until we change lanes and become disqualified. Be encouraged to fix your eyes on Jesus and run in such a way as to obtain the prize.

God-tracking is never looking back

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

Help me to never look back again

“Dear Lord, I realise that I have taken my eyes off your purposes and looked back in life. Forgive me, O Lord. I choose now to refocus on your calling, your righteousness and your objectives for me. I acknowledge you in all my ways and fix my eyes on Jesus, author and perfector of my faith. Help me to never look back again. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

 “So, trust in your Lord without depending on your own perceptions of the size of the boulder in your field. It’s definitely not as big as you thought.”

Proverbs 3:5Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

An old farmer had ploughed around a large rock in one of his fields for many years. He had broken several ploughshares on it. One autumn he sat down on the rock before attempting to plough the field again, remembering all the trouble that it had caused him. “I’m tired of battling with you,” he mused to the old boulder. “You’ve caused me too much trouble for too long.” He rose mumbling and walked to the shed at the edge of his field. Returning with a crowbar he dug it under the rock. To his amazement he discovered that it was only about six inches deep and he could easily remove it from his field.

Sometimes, when facing problems in life, we make mountains out of mole hills, don’t we? We look at our difficulties from a distance, grumbling that there’s a boulder in our field we can’t move. But we serve a mighty God! He deeply loves us and desires to deliver us from all our dreads. Jesus said, “Which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? How much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” In fact, Jesus taught us that if we had faith the size of a mere mustard seed, we could move mountains.

The Lord has a great future in store for you. He knows the plans he has for you; plans filled with hope and abundance. Put your confidence in his plans. Rest in his provision, healing, strength and grace (remember, grace is God’s doing!). When the heat is turned up quote God’s Word: “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” So, trust wholeheartedly in your Lord without depending on your own perceptions of the size of the boulder in your field. It’s definitely not as big as you thought.

God-tracking is moving mountains!

 I will not fear when the heat is turned up and by the promise of your Word, I command this mountain to be removed!

 “O Lord, this problem in my life looks like a mountain, from where I stand. But I know you are high and above all the ways of man. Therefore, you are greater than any obstacle I could ever face. I look to you, O Lord, to meet my needs and direct my paths. Thank you that you have a good plan for my life; a plan of hope and abundance. I put my trust in you. Lord, you are my trust! I will not fear when the heat is turned up and, by the authority of your Word, I command this mountain to be removed! In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
