“Ultimately, even when things go wrong, God’s light will shine on the road ahead and we will succeed in what we choose to do.”

Job 22:28 (NLT)
“You will succeed in whatever you choose to do, and light will shine on the road ahead of you.”

Job was a very wealthy and righteous man. It was said of him that he was blameless and upright. He feared God and shunned evil. One day, the devil approached God about Job saying, “Does Job fear God for nothing? Stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse you.” The omniscient God knew Job. He knew that Job’s heart was right and that, whatever befell him, Job would not turn against God. So, though he was not permitted to take Job’s life, the Lord gave the devil permission to test Job by stripping him of all he had including his family, his livestock and even his health.

During his time of trial, Job’s friends offered him copious advice; some good, some not so good. Eliphaz the Temanite wrongly accused Job of wickedness but then said, “Now acquaint yourself with him, and be at peace, thereby good will come to you. Receive instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart.” Wise words, indeed, from the man. He then implies that, though things have gone wrong for Job, he would ultimately succeed in all he did as God illuminated his path in life. At the end of Job’s story, we read, “So the Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. He died, an old man who lived a long, full life.”

If you know and acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour then you have been forgiven of your wrong. By his grace, through Jesus, God has justified you and replaced your heart of sin with his pure righteousness. Therefore, like Job, in Christ, you are blameless and upright. Though he came under intense Satanic attack, Job kept his heart true and never denied God. A fine example to you and me when we come under the devil’s ploy to derail us from our God-given purpose.

So, may we stand strong with wholehearted faith in our Lord. Ultimately, even when things go wrong, God’s light will shine on the road ahead and we will succeed in what we choose to do.  

God-tracking is never wavering even when things go wrong.

Don’t Give Up, Look Up & Pray

“Ultimately, I know that I will succeed in whatever I choose to do, and your light will shine on the road ahead of me.”

“Dear Lord, thank you for the story of Job. I praise you that you rescued him when things went wrong and restored his well-being. I take Job’s example and choose to stay true to my faith in you even when things go wrong in my life. I know the enemy of my soul, Satan, is intent on derailing me from my God-given purpose in life. But even though the devil may strip me of all I hold dear, you, O Lord, are my hope and final reward. In you I trust. Ultimately, I know that I will succeed in whatever I choose to do, and your light will shine on the road ahead of 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.

“Your Lord knows the difficulties you face today and he is in the thicket with you. Do not lose heart, he will bring you through it all.”

Isaiah 54:10
For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,”

 Oswald Chambers said, “We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.” It’s guaranteed, difficulties will come in life. Stormy times will happen, but they will not reduce God’s word to you. Listen: “Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines,

the produce of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer's; he makes me tread on my high places.”

Jesus is our greatest example of endurance under difficulty. All his life on earth, he knew who he was. He knew he was God’s chosen and anointed One, the Messiah. He knew the prophets said that the Messiah would be a servant king, not a great political leader. As the Servant King, Jesus knew he would suffer dejection, rejection and an intensely torturous physical death. Yet we read that in the Garden of Gethsemane when he had the option to walk away from his trouble, he chose to do the will of God and submit to the cross. We read that Jesus looked through the cross, scorned its shame, and saw himself victorious on the other side of his difficulty. He set his mind on things above and trusted the Spirit of God to raise him from the dead.

The word to you today is, in the thick of your difficulties, don’t give up, look up!  Your Lord knows the difficulties you’re facing and he is in the thicket with you. Do not lose heart, he will bring you through it all. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for you an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as you look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. Indeed, pray with your eyes on God, not on your difficulties.

God-tracking is trusting God to bring you through.

GOD TRACKING IS PRAYING WITH YOUR EYES ON JESUS AND NOT YOUR PROBLEM

GodTracker 670The e-devotional helping to keep you on-track with God’s plans for your life
GodTracker is published by Sure Reality Media at surereality.net

 Hebrews 12:2-3Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

“No matter what the devil throws at you; no matter how circumstances may bend in the process, know that your God is faithful, and he is quick to deliver you.”

My blood ran cold as my wife relayed the message to me that she’d just received from my daughter-in-law, “Ruben has been rushed to hospital with a temperature in excess of 39 degrees Celsius!” Our first grandson had taken our lives by storm; I wasn’t going to sit back and allow the devil to take his life from him. Karen and I rushed to the hospital and, together with my son and his wife we laid hands on his little body, claiming God’s healing Word. At that moment I just knew Ruben would be alright. However, the next day when we arrived to visit him, we found his parents outside the ward, in tears. Little Ruben had deteriorated through the night and at one point, stopped breathing. Medics resuscitated him and then rushed him to intensive care. Yet, with hundreds of people praying for him around the world, I just knew he would be alright.

After only 24 hours in ICU Ruben was discharged back to his ward. Several tests were done but the doctors found nothing wrong with him! A day later he was home. By God’s grace and comfort, the family had pressed in and taken God at his Word.

Oswald Chambers said, “We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.” Could be you’re facing a crisis right now, as my family did that time. Let me encourage you to not look at your problem when you pray but look through it with your eyes set on Christ. God’s word is jam-packed with promise and hope. Receive his word and walk in the hope it offers. You see, the Lord is already on the other side of your difficulty making way for you to get there. No matter what the devil throws at you; no matter how circumstances may bend in the process, know that your God is faithful, and he is quick to deliver you.

GodTracker 686The e-devotional helping to keep you on-track with God’s plans for your life
GodTracker is published by Sure Reality Media at surereality.net

 “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!

 READ ALL ABOUT ITMatthew 7:7-11Matthew 17:14-20Jeremiah 17:7-8

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

 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.”

Dear God Tracker

Pray With Your Eyes on Jesus and Not Your Problem

My blood ran cold as my wife relayed the message to me that she’d just received from my daughter-in-law. Our newborn grandson had been rushed to hospital with a temperature in excess of 39 degrees Celsius. Little Ruben had taken our lives by storm; I wasn’t going to sit back and allow the devil to take his life from him. Karen and I rushed to the hospital and, together with my son and his wife, we laid hands on his little body. At that moment I just knew he would be alright. However, the next day when we arrived to visit him, we found his parents outside the ward, in tears. Little Ruben had deteriorated and stopped breathing. Medics resuscitated him and sent him to intensive care. Yet, with hundreds of people praying for him around the world, I just knew he would be alright.

After only 24 hours in ICU he was discharged back to his ward. Several tests were done but the doctors found nothing wrong with baby Ruben! A few of days later he was home. By God’s grace and comfort, the family had pressed in and taken God at his word: “…they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well,” (Matt 16:18).

Oswald Chambers once said, “We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.” Could be you’re facing a crisis right now, as my family did last week. Let me encourage you to pray and hear from God. God’s word is jam-packed with promise and hope. Receive his word and walk in the hope it offers. You see, the Lord is already on the other side of your difficulty making way for you to get there. No matter what the devil throws at you; no matter how circumstances may bend in the process, know that your God is faithful and he is quick to deliver you. So pray with your eyes on Jesus and not your problem.

God-tracking is getting through to the other side.

Every blessing

Dudley
