“May we humble ourselves and seek him again with all our hearts. His promises are reliable and trustworthy; not one word of them has failed.”

Joshua 23:14
Not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.

The prophet Jeremiah was instrumental in predicting the demise of Judah and its exile to Babylon. The People of God had rebelled against him and run after foreign gods so the Lord God was executing retribution on the Jews for the disobedience. And yet, God had never forsaken his people or his promise to their forefather, Abraham, to raise them a great nation. Through Jeremiah he says, “I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Though we, like the people of Judah, often compromise our faithfulness to Father God, he remains faithful to his promise of blessing. Though we may become consumed with selfish ambition, the Lord our God never abandons his unselfish love and care for us. Today we can pause and remember how true God has been, even when we have strayed from his purposes. May we humble ourselves and seek him again with all our hearts. His promises are reliable and trustworthy; not one word of them has failed.

Turn your face toward his light. It’s not by your vision that you will gain victory, it’s only by the light of his face that you will be successful; for he loves you. Not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord has spoken concerning you. So, resubmit to his good plans by acknowledging God in all your ways and leaning not on your own understanding.

God-tracking is humbly following his good things.

“Dear God, forgive me for taking my life into my own hands. I realise now that I have taken my eyes off your purposes and looked to do things my way. I acknowledge you again in all my ways and seek your purposes above my own ambition. I submit to your will and choose to trust all the good things which you have spoken concerning me. Amen.”

“Wherever you find yourself today, whatever your circumstance, if you continue to acknowledge God in all your ways then he will keep you on track with his will.”

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

I’ve been a follower of Jesus for the best part of 50 years and I have always found him true to his word. Jesus himself said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.” We know that God watches over his word and his word never returns to him without producing the fruit of his purpose. Therefore, I know, from experience, that when God says all things work out for the good of those who love him, he means all things.

Years back when my family and I moved from South Africa to England I needed work. For a year after we arrived on the fair green shores of England, I was unemployed. In my attempt to find a job, I applied to a Christian ministry who were advertising for a media person. I was a good fit for the job and had two very good interviews for the role. All look promising but then, after the third interview, they said, “No.” Back to square one. No job, no future, no income. How could this ever work out for my good?

After my final interview and my rejection, I went for a walk in a forest near the office where I was interviewed. “Why, Lord?” I moaned. “I was convinced this was my job. Why did they turn me down after three interviews? Why did you bring me all the way here just for me to be rejected?” In an instant I heard the answer of the Holy Spirit, “You are here because you are on track with my plan for you.”

Suddenly, it all made sense. Wherever I find myself in life, if I acknowledge God in all my plans and decisions, I will find myself on track with the plans he knows he has for me. All things work together for his will. Now, 27 years later, this experience is the root for the devotional you are reading. GodTracker is all about staying on track with the plans God knows he has for you, wherever they may lead you.

Wherever you find yourself today, whatever your circumstance, if you continue to acknowledge God in all your ways then he will keep you on track with his will. All things will work together for the good of those who love God, those who are called according to his purpose.

God-tracking is trusting God’s “all things.”

IT’S ALL IN THE BIBLE. READ ALL ABOUT IT. (NKJV)
Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you!

Jeremiah 1:12
Isaiah 55:10-11
Proverbs 3:6
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

“Help me to not look at circumstance I find myself under but rather trust that all my circumstances will work out for my good.”

“O Lord, I admit that I get confused sometimes when, by my reckoning, things seem to go wrong. But I choose to deliberately acknowledge you in every aspect of my life and, therefore, trust that all things will work out according to your plan for me. I love you, Lord, and I love to follow your plans. Help me to not focus on the circumstance I find myself under but rather trust that all my circumstances will work out for my good. To your glory. Amen.”.

GOD’S KINGDOM AND RIGHTEOUSNESS WITHOUT COMPROMISE

“Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness without compromise and all you need for life and living will be added to you.”

Matthew 6:33
“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

Jesus was standing at the base of the natural amphitheatre of the hills along the banks of Lake Tiberias. It was a clear day and his voice carried far into the large crowd up the slope above. He was delivering his most profound oration known as the Sermon on the Mount. He said, “Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

The kingdom of a king is his domain, that is, it is all that pertains to him and his influence. The king sets the standards and ethos of his domain, including its law. Our God is our king. His standards and ethos are supreme and pure and his law is just. Firstly, Jesus instructed us to put the kingdom of God first. That is, we are to seek to live by his standards, ethos and law.

Secondly, Jesus instructed us to also put God’s righteousness first. Righteousness is the quality of God’s kingdom. Our God is supremely righteous. In him, there is no wrong, sin, evil or depravity. All he does and all he is is absolutely good. We are to seek to live by God’s glorious qualities. But how is this possible, for we have come short of his glory?

Listen, “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” Jesus is God in the flesh and, therefore, without sin. Jesus, the Word of God, became flesh to bear the consequence of sin as our proxy when he died on the cross. Through faith in him, we are reconciled to the kingdom and righteousness of God. Through faith in him we live by his kingdom standards, ethos and law. By faith in him, we live by God’s glorious righteous qualities.

Jesus laid aside his glory to reconcile us to God. So, let us lay aside our egoistical desires without compromise and put God’s kingdom and his righteousness first. The result? All you worry about for life and living will be added to you as well.

God-tracking is seeking God’s standards and his qualities before all else

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

In Christ I have been reconciled to your kingdom and righteousness

“Dear God, forgive me for compromising your kingdom principles and your righteous qualities in my life. I repent of contaminating these with my self-interest and unhealthy living. Today I choose to look for your kingdom standards, ethos and law and your glorious righteous qualities in all I do. In Christ, I have been reconciled to your kingdom and righteousness. Thank you that you are faithful to your word and all your promises are yes and amen in Christ. Therefore, I know that all the things I need for life and living will be added to me, too. Amen.”
