“God’s purpose for you is unique. No one else can fulfil the plan he has
for you. So, wait patiently for him to drive you straight and true.”
Ephesians 1:11
In him also we have
obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of him who
works all things according to the counsel of his will.
This devotional is called GodTracker. This title
describes the primary purpose of every Christian
believer: tracking the plans
and purposes of God. Scripture makes it plain; God has a plan and a purpose for
each one of us. Yet, God’s ways are not our ways and our ways are not God’s
ways.
A Scotchman was demonstrating the new game of golf to President Ulysses Grant. He
carefully placed the ball on the tee and took a mighty swing. The club hit the
turf and scattered dirt all over the President's beard and clothes, while the
ball placidly sat on the tee. Again and again, the Scotchman swung, and again
he missed. The President waited patiently through six tries and then quietly said,
"There seems to be a fair amount of exercise in the game, but I fail to
see the purpose of the ball.”
We smile but the truth is, the ball had a purpose. Its purpose was to fly
straight and true to the green to be putted into the cup. Unfortunately, the
demonstrator of this new game failed to connect with the ball. Chaos ensued.
However, the ball remained patiently on the tee waiting to be hit.
God has a plan for you according to the counsel of his will. Sometimes, his
will for you may seem to take a long time to materialise. Sometimes, chaos may
ensue around you as you wait for him to direct your path to victory. God’s
purpose for you is unique. No one else can fulfil the plan he has for you. So,
wait patiently for him to drive you straight and true, in his time. Author Frank
Peretti said, “'God has created us in his image and put each of us here on
earth for specific purposes. That means every human being has intrinsic value,
preciousness, meaning and dignity.”
God-tracking is waiting for him to drive us straight
and true.

Don’t
Give Up, Look Up & Pray
“Forgive me for my impatience and help me to
wait on you despite the chaos that’s going on around me.”
“Dear Lord, I know you have a plan
to use me here at home, at work and in my church. Your purposes are according
to the counsel of your will for my life. And yet, O Lord, I often find myself
sitting quietly on the tee, waiting to be driven straight and true. Forgive me
for my impatience and help me to wait patiently for you despite the chaos
that’s going on around me. Dear Lord, open your way – your opportunities – for
me to follow the plans you know you have for me. Amen.”

What is GodTracker?
GodTracker is a weekly e-mail Christian motivational thought, written by
Dudley Anderson, based on the premise that God has a plan for our lives. His
Word calls us to seek his plan by acknowledging him in all our ways and by
tracking his purposes, in faith. Most of what you’ll read is based upon the
author’s personal experience of tracking the plans of God.
