“Continue to acknowledge the Lord in all you do, look to Jesus and keep tracking what God wants for you.”

Isaiah 42:9
Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; Before they spring forth, I tell you of them.

“I want what God wants for me.” As I read Lyndie’s post I was reminded of one of my life verses from the Bible: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” The truth of that statement is, it is, indeed, God who knows the plans he has for me but I don’t. God knows what he wants for me. Therefore, I need to obediently look for and track God’s plans without relying on my own ideas and strategies in life. And that is what God-tracking is all about.

Sometimes, God’s plans may lead us on a successful and prosperous path for many years. If we acknowledge God in all our ways, he will open the doors to productive work. I always say grace is God’s doing, and by his grace, he will equip us well with talents and skills to do the work he has called us to do. So, let’s do it well with all our might as unto him. However, there may be times when the Lord says, “Good job, my son but the job is done. Now it’s time to move on to new things.”

I have been active in an area of ministry for more than 40 years. Thankfully, it’s been very productive and anointed. I have seen many people grow in their understanding and experience of God in this area of Christian living. However, the Lord, according to the plans he knows he has for me, has recently said, “the former things have come to pass.” By this, I sensed the Lord telling me to lay down this aspect of ministry, after all these years in obedience to his leading. Now, by his grace, the Lord has opened a new door for me and I look forward to new blessings.

Perhaps you face a similar situation today. My encouragement to you is to continue to acknowledge the Lord in all you do, look to Jesus, and always seek to track what God wants for you.

God-tracking is wanting what God wants

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

Proverbs 3:5-6
Ecclesiastes 9:10

“Dear God, I want what you want for me.”

“Dear Lord, I praise and thank you for all the years you have used me in this work. I surrender the results of my productivity to your glory. But I have heard you call me to lay it down for the new plans you know you have for me. Help me to let it go, O Lord, and help me grab hold of all that you have for me. Dear God, I want what you want for me. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS WILLINGLY TRACKING GOD’S GLORIOUS NEWNESS

“The Scripture promises that if we willingly and obediently submit to the newness of God’s purposes then we will eat the good of the land – we will prosper!”


Isaiah 1:19
If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land

I am a very nostalgic person. I don’t take lightly to change, particularly if that change means letting go of something I have always enjoyed. However, the scriptures tell us that God is the God of the new: in him, we are new creations; the Blood of Jesus is our new covenant and he leads us into new things, hidden things that we have not known. This does not, for one minute imply that God changes his mind or is inconsistent in any way. It does, however, imply that God is infinite and omniscient. In his foreknowledge he knows our frailty and fickleness and that we consistently require to change to grow in the knowledge of his will.

I recently endured a lifechanging event that compelled me to let go of an old dream and aspire to new things. Due to my reluctance to change, I yearned after my previous position to the point of nausea. I would open my eyes every morning with the wake-up-blues. You know the feeling – waking from a dream of the old days, you miserably mope for minutes before getting up, hankering back to the old season. Indeed, when God brought the changes into my life (and being convinced that God had brought the changes) I was obedient to follow his altered directing of my path, for I never fail to acknowledge him in all my ways. However, though obedient, I was not willing to change.

Listen to God’s word to you today: “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.” Note that: willing and obedient. God knows what he is doing in your life. He has eternal foreknowledge of your whole lifespan. If you continually acknowledge God in all your ways, he will direct your life track; and it is God’s will that matters. When God closes one door, he will open another, in his time. Sometimes, however, God closes one activity or involvement only to revive an old one and make it new. The scripture promises that if we willingly and obediently submit to the newness of God’s purposes then we will eat the good of the land – we will prosper!

Someone has said that science has come up with a term to describe an organism that never changes. That call it… dead! I learnt in a recent experience that God’s new is always new and his new is a living, breathing “new”. The key to remaining in God’s perfect progressive will is being willing to obediently change.

God-tracking is willingly tracking God’s glorious newness.

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

I choose now to accept the changes you have instigated and willingly submit to following your new plans for me

“Dear Lord, I realise now that I have been hankering after past dreams and aspirations; things that you have shut down in my life. Forgive me, O Lord. I choose now to accept the changes you have instigated and willingly submit to following your new plans for me. I believe you know the plans you have for me, but I don’t. Therefore, I acknowledge you in all my ways and trust you to work all things out for my good and your glory. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS STEPPING OVER INTO NEW TERRITORY, WITHOUT LOOKING BACK


GodTracker 689
The e-devotional helping to keep you on-track with God’s plans for your life

Isaiah 43:19
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

“God’s word to you today, dear God Tracker is, God knows the plans he has for you and he is saving the best till last.”


The first recorded miracle that Jesus performed was at a wedding in the town of Cana. Here he turned 35 litres of water into the finest wine, because the wedding hosts had run short of the beverage. The festivities had probably been going on for days. When the master of the feast tasted the new wine he said, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” The new wine that Jesus had produced was far superior to the wine made by human hands. The miraculous provision of God had saved the best for last.

God’s word to you today, dear God Tracker is, God knows the plans he has for you and he is saving the best till last. He is doing a new thing through his miraculous provision and guidance. You may think you have run out of resources, but he is your source and your resource; he who promised is faithful and he will do it. However, the new wine that Jesus gives needs to be stored in a new wineskin. Perhaps the Lord is calling you to leave the old land behind and step over that river, without looking back. Perhaps this is the point of no return! Only acknowledge the Lord in all your ways and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.

God-tracking is stepping over into new territory, without looking back

O Lord, I put my trust in you and I chose to step over my Jordan River into the promises of your good purposes, without looking back

“Father God, I put my trust squarely in your new purposes and plans for my life. I believe you’re opening a new door for me and have new prospects for me. Thank you that your Word promises good things; that you will never leave me nor forsake me and that you will meet all my needs according to your riches in Jesus. Today, O Lord, I put my trust in you and I chose to step over my Jordan River into the promises of your good new purposes, without looking back. Lord, help me to give up my old wineskins to have your new wine stored in new wineskins. Amen.”
