1 Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

A story is told of a terrible conflict that arose between two men in a small village. Unable to resolve their disagreement, the men decided to visit the wise elder who lived in the hills. The first man carefully recounted his story to the sage, to which the old man replied, “You are absolutely right.” The next day, the second man made his way up the hills to sit at the elder’s feet. He told his side of the story with much passion, to which the old man replied, “You are absolutely right.” After he left, the elder’s wife scolded her husband, “Those two men told you two conflicting stories, yet you told them both that they were absolutely right. That's impossible. How can they both be absolutely right?" The sage turned to his dear old wife and said, "You're absolutely right."

You may smile, yet in every conflict, there are always two sides of the story. For each person, his side of the story is always absolutely right. Yet this is indeed impossible. For the most part, conflict is so often based on two central criteria: pride and perception. So often in a disagreement, one man may perceive the situation to be true while the other may perceive it to be false. Then pride settles in and claims, “I’m absolutely right and you’re absolutely wrong!” resulting in conflict and confrontation. However, in every conflict, there can always be only one absolutely right scenario—the truth!

Jesus said, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." He also said that he is the Truth. In the book of Ephesians, we are told to put on the whole armour of God, part of which is the belt of truth, which is buckled around our waists. Only the truth will resolve a conflict, because the truth is always absolutely right and the truth will out! The truth never needs to be defended. The truth only needs to be born testimony of. The truth will set the heart of conflict free, but only if that heart is not being strangled by arrogant pride. The proud will fall while God will exalt the humble.

Therefore, in every skirmish you face, be sure to humble your heart before God (since God knows the truth) and subscribe to the truth. If you are in the wrong, then humbly apologise and correct your opinion. If you are walking in truth, then humbly receive an apology. The Lord watches over the truth because he is the Truth. So, be still and don’t fret when evil seems to prevail. God will vindicate the truth, always!

God-tracking is resolving conflict in humble truth.

Don’t Give Up, Look Up & Pray

“Above all, help me to not be prejudiced toward my opponent and to walk in love.”

“Sovereign Lord, I admit that I am facing conflict today. Sometimes it’s difficult to see the wood for the trees when I’m in a fray, but I pray that you will reveal the truth to me. Please forgive me for my pride. I humbly submit to you and to the truth. If I’m wrong, then help me change my opinion. But if I’m right, dear Lord, then help me to simply witness to the truth in all humility. Above all, help me to walk in love. Whatever happens, O Lord, I pray that you will resolve this conflict. Amen.”

 “These servants of the Lord did not sit on their laurels and become rotting relics. These early disciples followed their Lord’s command and did great exploits for their King as servants of all.”

Daniel 11:32
…but the people who know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits.

The great violinist, Nicolo Paganini, willed his marvellous violin to Genoa –  the city of his birth – but only on condition that the instrument never be played again. It was an unfortunate condition, for it is a peculiarity of wood that if it is used and handled, it shows little wear. As soon as it is discarded, it can become infested and begin to decay. The exquisite violin became worm-eaten in its beautiful case, valueless except as a relic. The rotting instrument is a reminder that a life withdrawn from all service to others loses its meaning.

Jesus reminds us that if we desire to be great in the kingdom of God, we need to be prepared to be servants. A servant is someone who expresses submission and duty to serve another person, to his credit and wellbeing. Jesus is our Lord and we are his servants. In Christ, we serve one another as a duty of our service of him. As much as we love our Lord, we love those whom he places on our track of life, to serve.

When we examine the lives of those to whom Jesus gave the instruction to be servants, we note that they all progressed to become great people of influence whose lives and service still impact our lives today. In their humble service, they carried out great exploits. Jesus did say, “He who is greatest among you shall be your servant.” These servants of the Lord did not sit on their laurels and become rotting relics. These early disciples followed their Lord’s command and did great exploits for their King as servants of all.

God-tracking is performing great exploits with a servant heart.

“When you face trials and tribulations; when you are plagued by a festering thorn in the flesh, humble yourself before the Lord and, by his grace, he will lift you up.”

James 4:10
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

We read in 2 Corinthians 12 how Apostle Paul explains that he was plagued by a, so-called, thorn in the flesh. We’re not sure what that proverbial thorn was, yet we read that it came from the devil. God allowed the devil to plague Paul because Paul had the tendency to become proud. So, this “messenger of Satan” was assigned to him to keep him humble.

Sometimes we Christians can become a little conceited and proud of our status as kids of the King. Sometimes we can exalt ourselves a little above the world around us because we believe we are accredited with God’s righteousness, by faith, as Abraham was. Indeed, these facts are very true. But often we open ourselves to the devil’s whiles through our pride. God forbid! May we learn, as Paul did, that when we are weak then we are strong.

Paul’s thorn in the flesh made him stronger. He learned that all he needed in life was the grace of God. Jesus told him that his grace was enough for the apostle. By the Holy Spirit, Paul writes, “By the grace of God I am what I am.”

Grace is God’s doing. When you face trials and tribulations; when you are plagued by a festering thorn in the flesh, humble yourself before the Lord and, by his grace, he will lift you up. Count it joy when you fall into difficulties, knowing that the testing of your faith will make you perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

God-tracking is humbly trusting God’s sufficient grace.

“In my weakness, I claim your strength to face this messenger of Satan.”

“Dear Father, I feel as though I’m going through a trying time at the moment. Things are not working out as I hoped. Are these my “thorn in the flesh”? Forgive me for any pride and conceit in my heart. I repent of any arrogance and seek your mercy, O Lord. Only by your grace, I am what I am. Grace is your doing and your grace is more than enough to get me through. In my weakness, I claim your strength to face this messenger of Satan. Amen.”

“Keep going. Never give up because you see no results. If you are following God’s call on your life then you can rest assured the results are mounting up.”

2 Timothy 2:15
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Thomas Edison, who invented the electric light bulb spent more than $100,000 to attain 6000 different specimens of fibre for his experiments. He failed a miserable 5997 times. Only three of the elements he tested proved suitable. But Edison refused to quit because he didn’t see the results of his effort. He persisted in his task because he knew the end result would qualify his efforts.

I was pondering my work the other day. In my early days in Christian radio broadcasting, I received many wonderful responses from listeners, which greatly encouraged me. Today I possibly reach far more people through my radio programming than ever before but receive very little response. Have I failed? I reason that, due to the excessive media output we’re all subject to in the information age, people, these days, do not generally respond to radio as much as they did 20 years ago. Nevertheless, I often feel like I’ve failed in my God-given task.

Then the Lord reminded me that with every word I speak under his anointing, I lay up for myself heavenly treasures. Jesus said, “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” Though I don’t see the results of my labour, the Lord is watching over his word that I speak and he will bring it to fruition in the lives of the hearers. Though I feel like I’ve failed because I don’t see the results of my work, I know that with every word I speak the end result will qualify my efforts.

Keep going. Never give up because you see no results. If you are following God’s call on your life then you can rest assured the results are mounting up. The Lord is watching over his call on your life. By his grace, the Lord is doing the work through you. Grace is God’s doing. In the end, when you are called up yonder, you will be astounded at the treasures you have laid up for yourself in heaven.

God-tracking is laying up treasures in heaven.

I labour not by my efforts but by your grace, and your grace will produce the results of my labour. Forgive me for looking for results in the here and now. I know that by fulfilling the task you’ve me, I am laying up treasures in heaven. The end result will qualify my efforts. Hallelujah! Amen.”
