James 1:6-8
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

God-tracking is being single-minded in even in the wildest of storms.
I remember once crossing the English Channel on a ferry in the worst storm I’ve ever experienced. The splash of the waves reached the window of my third-story vantage point. Through the haze of intense nausea, I noticed how these monsters were blown in every direction. Their crests were breaking, and their foam was being tossed back and forth by strong winds.

James wrote that the person who asks God to meet a need but doubts in his heart is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. This person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord; he is double-minded and unstable in all his ways.

Don’t be like the crests of those double-minded waves. Stand strong upon the promises that God has given you and, in faith, shout out, “I can and will do all things through Christ who strengthens me!”

God-tracking is being single-minded in even in the wildest of storms.

If God has called you then he will watch over his calling to perform it. No matter the storm, have faith in his calling.”

Luke 8:25
But He said to them, “Where is your faith?”

Jesus and his disciples were crossing Lake Tiberias to minister in the province of the Gadarenes. These
men were committed to Jesus and his ministry. They knew God had a purpose for them to work alongside Jesus as he preached the good news of the Kingdom of God.

Transversing Tiberias is a fair distance for a small sailboat. Halfway through the trip a violent storm arose and waves began to swamp the boat. Jesus was asleep at the stern. Waking him, they yelled, “Master, Master, we are perishing!”  Jesus calmly rebuked the storm and the waves subsided. Then, turning to his men he said. “Where is your faith?”

Prior to this event Jesus had been ministering extensively. His disciples had witnessed many miracles and sat under his profound teaching. Jesus had selected these 12 diverse characters to stand by him in his work. God had a plan and a purpose for each of these men, who, ultimately, would take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Yet, when the storm arose, they doubted their calling, believing they would all die. Despite the storms, the difficulties and the opposition they faced, they should have realised that God’s purposes would prevail for each of them. They needed faith in their calling.

God knows the plans he has for you. His plans are for your success and blessing, for a hope and a future. God has a calling on your life. If you continue to walk by faith, and not by sight, then you will flow in the plans and purposes of God. Acknowledging him in all your ways will cause his purposes to unfold in your life. If God has called you then he will watch over his calling in your life, to perform it. No matter the storm, have faith in his calling.

God-tracking is faith in the calling of God.

“Father, I know you have a plan for my life. Dear God, I believe your purposes will prevail no matter the storms I face. You have called me to serve you and I believe that you will watch over your calling on my life to perform it. Forgive me for taking my eyes off you and looking at the waves swamping my boat. Despite the oppositions I face, I put my faith in your calling and trust you to bring me to the over side of the lake, safely. Amen.”

“No matter what you face today – economic collapse, unprecedented pandemic, violent disaster, incurable illness or simply a forlorn spirit, know this, your God will never, never abandon you.”

GodTracker
It was once said, “Sometimes the Lord calms the storm. Sometimes he lets the storm rage and calms his child.” A story is told of an artist’s competition where the painters were asked to paint the most serene picture of a peaceful scene they could imagine. They all set to work. A few weeks later, at a great banquet, the finalists were revealed. One after the other magnificent scenes of quiet and tranquillity were unveiled until, finally, the effort of the grand prize winner was presented on a podium, still covered by a curtain.

“This is the most intense scene of peace I have ever witnessed,” said the chief judge as he addressed the audience. “It reveals a heart devoid of pain, contaminants, and fear. It shows one that he can be content in every circumstance; a heart filled with authority, love and self-control. This, ladies and gentlemen, is our winner.” The judge uncovered the canvas.

The audience gasped. There before them, beneath a powerful spotlight, was exposed an exquisite painting of a most violent waterfall crashing over the edge of a high cliff to the rocks below. Above were ferocious dark rolling cumulonimbus clouds, spewing fierce flashes of lightning. Spray was rising from the torrent, blown by brutal gales as water crashed over the edge of the falls. Not a sign of life anywhere except on a narrow ledge of rock in the cliff face beside the cascading waterfall. There, beneath a mother’s warm wings nestled three small chicks in a roost clinging to the rock. They were safe, warm… and at peace.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings, you will find refuge. No matter what you face today – economic collapse, unprecedented pandemic, violent disaster, incurable illness or simply a forlorn spirit, know this, your God will never, never abandon you. He is your provider, your safety, your guide, your healer and your peace. Come to Jesus and he will give you rest. Underneath now, are his everlasting arms. The Lord is your refuge and your fortress, your God, in whom you can trust.

God-tracking remaining safe and secure under the shadow of his wings

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

I claim that you have given me not a spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control

“Dear Abba Father, thank you that I can rest under the shelter of your wings, even in the most violent of storms. Forgive me for taking my eyes off you and looking down at the problems I face. I choose, instead, not to give up but to look up; my help comes from the maker of heaven and earth. I choose now to set my mind on things above and my eyes on Jesus. I praise you for peace in my life, at this time. I praise you for provision, protection and healing. I claim that you have given me not a spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control. Amen and amen!”
