“Whatever hill you are climbing today; whatever conspiracy you may face, know this, it is not by your effort that you will make it to the top.”

Hebrews 12:2

…looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

We’ve all heard the charming little childhood story of a little blue engine who looked at his impossible task of pulling a train up a steep hill and said, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can." Filled with determination, the little blue engine huffed and puffed and pulled up the hill until he made it to the top.

In an amusing little twist to the original story, another author wrote: "He was almost there, when --CRASH! SMASH! BASH! The little blue engine slid all the way down again and ended up in a heap at the foot of the hill. Which goes to show, if the track is tough and the hill is rough, only thinking you can, just ain't enough."

King David was an anointed God-fearing king in Israel. Being called a man after God’s own heart, he was one of the ancients who was filled with the Holy Spirit. David penned many positive and uplifting Psalms. However, David was also an honest realist who faced much opposition to his position, even from within his own family. Once his son Absalom rebelled and conspired to overthrow his father. In his response, David did not retaliate; he did not ignore the attack or depend on the power of positive thought to overcome this great obstacle. David did what he always did – he turned to the Lord and depended on God’s plans for deliverance. He wrote in a psalm, “O Lord, how many are my foes! But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.”

Whatever hill you are climbing today; whatever conspiracy you may face, know this, it is not by your effort that you will make it to the top. You will overcome only by faith in God’s plans for your deliverance, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Only faith in God’s purposes for your life, by his grace and might, will you pull your train to the top of the hill. So, set your eyes on Jesus, the author of your faith, and keep puffing away.

“Dear Lord, I feel as though I have been climbing this hill for ages, with no progress. It seems everyone is against me and resistance is at every turn. Forgive me for taking my eyes off Jesus and depending on my own power of positive thinking. I choose now to look to Christ and follow his example. Jesus climbed mount Calvary, endured death with confidence in your plan, O God, to raise him from the dead and seat him on the throne of heaven. So, I take my eyes off this mountain in my life and I keep climbing with faith in your plans, by your power. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS WALKING YOUR PATH, STEP BY STEP, BY HIS LIGHT

GodTracker 699The 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

“Be encouraged. He will show you the way to go, step by step, as he illuminates just enough of the path ahead to keep you walking by faith and not be sight.”

Psalm 119:105Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

I have never been down an active mineshaft, but growing up in Johannesburg, South Africa, which is renowned for its gold mines, I know how dark it can be down a deep mineshaft if the lights go out. Some of these shafts are kilometres below the surface. It is impossible for any trace of sunlight to penetrate so deeply underground. The darkness here is thick and almost tangible. Therefore, miners have headlamps on their helmets. These headlamps are very powerful. Even so, due to the length of the mineshaft, when a miner turns his light on, the beam may only reach a few metres ahead of him. Even with his headlamp burning, the miner is unable to see far into the distance. However, he is able to see sufficiently far enough down the path ahead of him to navigate safely along the shaft, one step at a time.

Tracking the dark pathways of life requires that we see where we are going. However, as a Christian, I believe God does not always reveal the end of our path to us before we arrive there. His word is a headlamp to our feet, not a laser beam to our future. I’ve discovered that, as I trek my life’s path, God sufficiently illuminates my walk, one step at a time. It can, indeed, be most frustrating not knowing what will happen beyond the next bend, but that’s where faith comes in. Faith is confidence in things hoped for and being certain of life not yet seen. And faith pleases God – he rewards those who seek him by faith.

The word to you today is, God is in your future. He is there already, meeting your needs and preparing your pathway. You may not be able to see into tomorrow but, with his word is your headlamp, he will guide you along the way, step by step. Father loves you so much that, in his wisdom, he has chosen to reveal to you only what you need to see today, as you make your way along your life’s track. So, don’t worry about tomorrow. Jesus said that tomorrow has enough worries for itself. First seek his plans and his goodness, then everything you will ever need to reach the end of the road, will be given to you as well. Be encouraged. God will show you the way to go, step by step, as he illuminates just enough of the path ahead, to keep you walking by faith and not be sight.

GOD-TRACKING IS FLOWING WITH NEW WINE

GodTracker 684The 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

 GOD-TRACKING IS FLOWING WITH NEW WINE

 “I believe the Lord is opening a great new opportunity for you to see great results for his glory in your life. He is discarding your old wineskin and filling a new wineskin with new fine wine.”

 Mark 2:22“And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins.”

Jesus’ first recorded miracle was a profound demonstration of his power and authority, as the Word of God, over the laws of nature. As was customary at traditional Jewish weddings of the first century, Jesus and his family had been celebrating a friend’s wedding in Cana, for several days already. Traditionally, wine would flow freely, and due to the longevity of these celebrations copious amounts of wine was required to see the feast through. As the celebrations continued at the wedding Jesus was attending, the organisers ran out of wine. Jesus’ mother overheard the servants talking and approached her son to do something about it. Jesus answered, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” Nevertheless, in his compassion, Jesus miraculously converts approximately 120 gallons of plain water into the finest wine.

Two thoughts occur to me as I read this story. Firstly, the proper use of the vessels Jesus chose to contain the new wine, was to contain water for ceremonial cleansing. Jews ceremonially wash before a meal. These jars were intended for purification. I don’t believe it was coincidence that Jesus used 6 purification vessels to contain his new wine.

God is doing a new thing in your life today, dear GodTracker. Before you can enjoy the newness of God’s fine purposes for your life, you need to purify your heart. In James 3 we read that wisdom from above begins with purity. Before you can contain the new wine of the Lord’s new move in your life you need to check your heart’s motives. Ask, how can I glorify God and not self? Before you can hold the new wine of the Lord’s new move in your life you need to be ready to discard your old wineskin.

Secondly, one could say that at the Cana wedding the best was saved for last. Unbeknownst to the wedding host that Jesus had supernaturally created that finest quality wine from mere water, he calls the bridegroom over and says, “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.” You see, when God does a new thing, it’s always good!

The Lord is doing a new thing in your life today, and it’s good! You may feel it’s a little late in the day to start something new, but with God, nothing is impossible. He who is calling you will make a way for streams in the desert of your dryness. If you’ll let him, he will orchestrate your life’s circumstance according to his will and meet all your needs to fulfil his new purposes for you. He who calls you is faithful. He will do it. We are told to make the most of every opportunity. I believe the Lord is opening a great new opportunity for you to see great results for his glory in your life. He is discarding your old wineskin and filling a new wineskin for you, with new fine wine.

As Mary said to Jesus, so I pray, Lord help me do whatever you tell me to do. I commit my future to you and acknowledge you in all my plans, aspirations and ambition. Lord, check my heart. If there is any baneful motive in me, remove it and help me to humbly seek first your kingdom.

GOD-TRACKING IS TRUSTING GOD’S TIMING

GOD-TRACKING IS TRUSTING GOD’S TIMING

"Sometimes we try very hard to plan our moments, but the scriptures remind us that, 'In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.'"

 Proverbs 16:1

The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

I remember when my wife was pregnant with our children. Those were exciting days. I remember the great anticipation of that big day when Karen would say, “I think it’s time,” and we’d need to grab the pre-packed carryall and rush off to the hospital. I remember too, how long those 9 months seemed to take. I think they were the longest months of my life! That great wait through the months of watching my wife swell with delight, till the moment when I heard my daughter’s first cry. I remember the moment I first felt that little kick from inside her womb. The joy! There’s life in that lump, after all! Day by day and week by week I watched as my little one moved and progressed in her development.

Then it happened. We were just about to get into bed one evening when Karen stopped dead on her side of the bed. “I think my waters just broke!” she gasped. It was around 11pm. I looked at my watch then back into Karen’s eyes. “What! Now?!” I gasped in return. Frantically and with great trepidation I changed out of my pajamas, grabbed that formidable holdall and tooth brush and headed for the car. My wife’s time had come. My baby’s arrival was imminent.

No one knows the exact moment of that first breath, and no one knows the exact moment of the last. No one knows exactly when he will meet his life’s partner or when he will be joined by new friends in the race of life. No one knows the exact instant of his next adventure or disappointment or opportunity or loss. Sometimes we try very hard to plan our moments, but the scriptures remind us that, “In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.” So, acknowledge the Lord in all your ways and trust him to direct your times.

God-tracking is trusting God’s timing.

GOD-TRACKING IS GETTING A FRESH SENSE OF GOD’S PURPOSE

Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.

One of golf's immortal moments came when a Scotsman demonstrated the new game to American President Ulysses Grant. He carefully placed the ball on the tee and took a mighty swing. The club hit the turf and sprayed dirt all over the President's beard and suit, while the ball sedately waited on the tee. Again and again, the Scotsman swung but he missed. President Grant waited patiently through six attempts 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.”

Some mornings I wake up void of enthusiasm, wrestling to affirm the true reasons I do what I do. It’s not that I have been demotivated by anything or anyone, just that I feel unmotivated to get on with it. Ever been there? Inevitably, I have taken on so many activities that I’ve burned out and lost focus. It’s at times like these, I need a fresh sense of purpose.

The Scriptures tell us that God has a plan and a purpose for each of us. God is omniscient and omnipresent – he knows each of us personally. He knows the plans he has for you and me. However, we often assume we know God’s plans and grab hold of every opening that comes our way. Sadly, we often end up missing the purposes God has planned for us and finding ourselves swinging away at life, missing the ball at every strike. We need to learn to trust God’s purposes for our lives. As Brian Houston says, “When the Lord gives you a sense of purpose, that purpose ruins you for anything else. Nothing else will ever bring true peace, because peace is found only in pursuing the purposes of God.”

God-tracking is getting a fresh sense of God’s purpose

GOD-TRACKING IS RESTING IN HIS FOREKNOWLEDGE OF THE FINAL SCORE

Romans 8:29
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

Welcome to new subscribers of GodTracker. This e-devotional, published at godtracker.co.uk and via several online blogs, enjoys a vast readership. The concept of God-tracking developed from a radio show I once produced called, On Track. This show was broadcast across central-southern Africa via FM, shortwave and the Internet. For many years it enjoyed a listenership in the millions. It was back in 2003 when a listener of On Track asked me to send him a hardcopy of the content of the show by e-mail that e-devotional, GodTracker was born.

God-tracking has at its core the concept of seeking and tracking the plans of God for our lives. The Bible makes it clear that God does have a plan for each of us and that we are called according to his purposes. In Proverbs, we are told to acknowledge the Lord in all our ways and so to trust him to direct our paths, that is, or our life tracks! When we acknowledge God, we are recognising his knowledge of us and his foreknowledge of our futures.

I watched Joanna Konta play Simona Halep in the 2017 Wimbledon quarterfinals. What a great match! It was match point and Konta was poised to serve. Great serve! Good backhand return by Halep but after a very short rally, Halep put the ball into the net. Konta had won the match! I was so enthralled with that last rally I rewound the show to Konta’s last serve. There she was again, poised to serve for the match. However, it dawned on me that I now knew she would win. I paused my TV. Suddenly I realised the meaning of the scripture that says, “For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.”

The Lord knows all about you. He knows your past, your present and he has foreknowledge of your future. This means that he is already in your tomorrow preparing your paths in life. As you stand poised to serve for the match, understand this, your Lord already knows the final score. Even though you still need to play that final shot, Jesus is already on the podium with you, raising the trophy. So, fix your eyes on Jesus, author of your faith. Set your mind on things above not on earthly things, where God has already traced your track. Therefore, rise up today and play with all your might! In Jesus, the score is already game, set and match!

God-tracking is resting in his foreknowledge of the final score.

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS FIRST, GETTING ON TRACK WITH GOD, THROUGH CHRIST

Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Fourteen years ago a listener of my radio show, On Track wrote an email to me asking me to send him a hardcopy version of the content of my show. On Track came about after the Lord revealed to me how the Christian walk is seldom clear-cut. In my humble 55 years of life, I have found that, if I acknowledge God in all my ways, he will always direct my paths. However, the paths I often find myself on are seldom direct; they seem to progress, as it were, from A to B to C and then off to X and Y, before getting back to D. But all along my life’s track, I have found God has a plan for me to both impact and be impacted by people and circumstances, along the way. He knows the plans he has for me, I don’t, so I need to remain on track with God’s plans for me wherever they may take me. Hence the title of my radio show.

All along this track of life I have found two ingredients to be invaluable in my God-tracking: God’s Spirit and God’s Word. Tracking God’s will can be precarious at times, to say the least. Life can be filled with many ups and many downs. Life can be thwarted with challenges, changes and choices. At every corner in life, I need clear guidance which way to turn. At every obstacle in life, I need strength and tenacity to overcome. Without Christ, I think I would have been in a right quandary in facing life’s complications. The truth is, Jesus is my way and he is my life. God’s Word is the lamp that lights my path and the fellowship of his Holy Spirit is the power that moves my feet along my path. I have discovered that the Word of God is found in the Bible and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit is found in prayer. Without these I would be lost.

How about you? Have you found life to be a guessing game? How do you know you’ve made the right choices? Listen: In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Finding happiness and success begins with making the greatest choice you could ever make – choosing Christ! It could be you’ve been reading this weekly devotional for many years but never actually surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Why not do it now? Believe that Jesus died and rose again to reconcile you to God and confess him as Lord. It’s no good doing one without the other, you need to believe and confess. God does have a plan for you to both impact and be impacted by people and circumstances, as you follow your life’s track. God does have a plan for you to be a God-tracker, but it starts with getting on track with God’s purposes, through Christ. So, seek God first in life and his Word will become a lamp to your feet and a light to your path.

God-tracking is first, getting on track with God, through Christ.

Keep your eyes on Jesus

From this point on, O God, help me remain on track with your will in life

Pray
“Dear God, I realise now that I have never totally surrendered my life to you. I confess that I have tried to follow my own instincts in making life choices rather than acknowledging you in everything I do. Please forgive me. I put my faith in the power of your Holy Spirit and the light of you Word to guide me every day. I repent of all sin and ask you to take your rightful place in my heart. I believe that Jesus died and rose again to free me from sin and death, and now confess Jesus to be my Lord and Saviour. From this point on, O God, help me remain on track with your will in life. Amen.”

A fresh new half-hour Christian radio programme, featuring lives touched and changed for the good, for good by the reality as found in Christ.

A welcome to new subscribers to this free e-mail devotional. Welcome too, to readers of the GodTracker blogs on Linkedin, Wordpress, FaithWiriters and Google Blogger. This e-devotional has been impacting lives since its inception in 2003. GodTracker developed out of a Christian radio programme I produced between 1998 and 2005 called, On Track. On Track was broadcast on shortwave radio across central/southern Africa and via several FM Christian radio stations in the region and enjoyed an estimated listenership of millions.

The Bible says that God knows the plans he has for us. If this is true, then it’s God who knows these plans, we don’t. It also says that God has predestined good works for those who are saved by grace, through faith; we are his workmanship. If this is true, then I believe God has a plan and a purpose for your life and mine. Therefore, we need to look for his plans; we need to track God’s purposes through payer and his Word. This is a process I call, God-tracking.

GodTracker has been adapted for radio and is broadcast on several radio stations around the world as a 60-second radio spot. As part of this radio ministry I have also developed a new half-hour show called, The Reality. The Scripture tells us that the Law of God and religious traditions are a mere shadow, while sure reality is found in Christ. The Reality features short teaching and chats with people whose lives have been touched and changed by the reality of Christ.

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS TRUSTING GOD’S PLANS THROUGH THICK AND THIN

Proverbs 17:3
The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the Lord tests hearts.

Joseph sat in a pool of gloom on the grimy floor of the king’s dungeon. It had been months since he’d interpreted the dreams of the king’s baker and cup-bearer, who had been imprisoned some time after he had. His dreams had come true. The baker had been executed while the cup-bearer was set free and reinstated to his position. This man had promised to put in a good word in for Joseph, but he had obviously forgotten.

Joseph’s mind wondered back to his own dreams, which he’d had many years previously. He believed the dreams had implied that God would promote him and cause him to become a man of influence. However, his brothers were jealous of him and had sold him into slavery. Finally ending up in an important servant in the household of an important man in Egypt, Joseph thought he might be on the road to success, but now this. “Adonai, why am I still here?” he moaned. “The cup-bearer promised he would get me out of here but here I am, still in prison.” Just then he heard the guard approach and keys clanging against the metal of dungeon gate. “Get up,” said the man. “The king has had a disturbing dream and was told you have the power to interpret dreams. He wants to see you. You’re free.”

We all know the story of how Joseph went on to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams, warning against a the coming of a 7-year drought. Pharaoh promotes him and he becomes the second most important person of all of Egypt.

God had a reason for Joseph to be sold into slavery. God had a reason for Joseph to be wrongly accused of rape and thrown into prison. God had a reason for every seeming setback that Joseph endured. If Joseph was not sold into slavery and thrown into prison he would not have interpreted the king’s dreams. If Joseph had not interpreted these dreams he would not have prevented people from dying from the drought, including his own family. If Joseph did not save his family, his brother Judah would have died. If Judah had died his descendant, Jesus would never have been crucified for the sins of the world. If Jesus was never crucified for sin, you and I would be lost today!

God had a plan for Joseph, even through his trials and God has a plan for you, through yours. Joseph was refined in tribulation, like silver in the crucible, to become the one who preserved the lineage of Jesus Christ. God knows the plans he has to refine you through your difficulties that you may be the one to fulfil his great purposes for those around you.

God-tracking is trusting God’s plans through thick and thin

Blessings

Help me have patience to wait for your plans to come to fruition, while I am refined through this tribulation

Pray
“Oh Lord, sometimes I feel like Joseph in the pit of the king’s dungeon. I know you have spoken to me and given me promises for the future but it seems as though I’m never going to realise these promises. I feel like I’m in a furnace being refined by fire. But I know that even pure silver and gold are contaminated with impurities that only float to the surface when they are placed under intense heat. I ask you, therefore, to refine me through this crucible of difficulty so that you may scoop off the dross in me that comes to the surface. Thank you for the great plans you have for me. Help me have patience to wait for your plans to come to fruition, while I am refined through this tribulation. Amen.”

The e-Devotional helping to keep you on-track

Dear God-tracker  

WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK

This e-devotional / blog is published once a week via godtracker.co.uk. It developed as a result of a radio programme I once produced called, On Track. Listeners of the radio show wrote in asking for copies of the content I shared on-air. I began sending this information out by e-mail once a week. These e-mails later developed into the e-devotional that has become known as, trACker. trACker is sent out to e-mail subscribers and published on several online blog sites every Friday.

I wish to express my deepest appreciation to you for supporting this ministry over the years. Your input invaluable. Therefore, from time to time I request your feedback in the form of a very short questionnaire.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would  email dudley@godtracker.co.uk with your answers to the following questions.

If you prefer, the questionnaire is also available online as an anonymous shttps://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/RR7WBRT

1.    How long have you subscribed to or been reading this devotional?
2.    How do you read trACker? By e-mail or online on a blog or social media site? If so, please tell us which one.
3.    How has trACker helped you in your Christian walk?
4.    Please give us any comments that may help us produce a better service to you

trACker is based on the scripture that reminds us that God knows the plans he has for us. The truth of that statement is, it is indeed, God who knows the plans he has for us; we don’t, not until he reveals them to us, that is. Therefore, to remain walking in God’s will we need to continue to seek and track his plans for us by acknowledging him in all our ways and keeping our eyes on Jesus.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Every blessing

Dudley

GOD-TRACKING IS FAITHFULLY TRACKING GOD’S PURPOSES BY THE SUFFICIENCY OF HIS GRACE

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS FAITHFULLY TRACKING GOD’S PURPOSES BY THE SUFFICIENCY OF HIS GRACE

2 Corinthians 12:9(b)
Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

“Simon, Simon!” called Andrew as he ran up to his brother’s boat, moored at the edge of the lake. “We have found the Messiah!” John and I were listening to John the Baptist speak when suddenly he pointed to Jesus of Nazareth and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”

“Whatever,” replied Simon as he continued to fold his nets. “No, really. Come see.” Simon reluctantly followed his brother to where Jesus was standing talking to some men. Jesus looked right at Simon and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Peter,” (which means rock).

And so began the life’s adventure of Simon Peter, one of the most dynamic God-trackers of all Bible characters. But Peter was, what we might call, a rough diamond. His outspokenness would land him in most unsavoury situations, more often than not. It was Peter who drew his sword and cut off the High Priest servant’s ear at the arrest of Jesus and it was Peter who denied his Lord three times after Jesus’ arrest. But it was also Peter who acknowledged Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God. He was the rock upon whom Jesus built the Church. Simon Peter became the primary leader of the 12 founding apostles of Christianity and he was used of the Holy Spirit to pen several books we now have as scripture in our Bible. Simon Peter was a great man.

Thankfully the Bible is packed with characters like Peter. Men and women who were less than perfect but who were used mightily of God. I take courage as I seek to track God’s will for my own life from the fact that God does not call perfect people to do his purposes. (In fact, there are no perfect people – the only perfect man who ever lived was Jesus Christ himself.) If I was faultless in my lifestyle or my service of God, then I could claim credit for what I do. But, because I am a faulty character (like old Peter) I know that any good thing I do must come from God. Wasn’t it Paul who complained about having a “thorn in the flesh”, but when he talked to the Lord about it Jesus said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”  

Grace is God’s doing. Grace does not overlook our deficiencies; grace produces God’s efficiency though us. By grace we are saved and by grace we serve. God-tracking is seeking to live by the grace of God, especially through our shortfalls. Grace does not condone sin. On the contrary, it reveals sin to us. Grace pardons our sin on our confession and repentance. And grace has a brother called, faith. We are saved by grace through faith and we serve as God-trackers by God’s grace though faith in his power to equip us for duty.

God had a purpose for Simon Peter and God has a purpose for you. You do not need to be perfect to follow God’s purposes; you only need to step out in faith, believing that, by grace, God is fulfilling his purposes through you, to his praise and glory. That’s living by grace.

God-tracking is faithfully tracking God’s purposes by the sufficiency of his grace.

Blessings

Dudley

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!

If grace is God’s doing, then Lord, do your will through me!

Pray
“O sovereign Lord, thank you so much for your grace. Thank you that you sent Jesus – the perfect Son of God – to die in my place and redeem me from sin. I confess and repent of all my sin – everything I have done, said or thought that has grieved the Holy Spirit. Praise you for grace that pardons my sin. I now commit my life to serve you, O Lord, not by my credentials but by your grace. If grace is God’s doing, then Lord, do your will through me! I submit to your grace and will continue to serve you all my days, by faith. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”
