“He knows your past from your future and his word to you will bear fruit. Set your gaze on his hand and wait for his every move.”

Psalm 130:5
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope. 

My first dog, as a child, was a cross boxer Rhodesian ridgeback named Nibs. He was like a big brown teddy bear. As a small child I could hang on his neck, pull his ears and ride on his back without so much as a whimper from him.

Like all dogs, Nibs had the habit of begging for food. If I ate a sandwich near him, Nibs would sit patiently by my side drooling while watching my every move in the hope that a crumb or two would drop from the table. If I moved my hand left, with peaked ears, Nibs’ head would move left. If I moved my hand right his head would move right. In fact, he wouldn’t take his eyes off the sandwich in my hand. Nibs would diligently watch with intense anticipation waiting for me to toss him a slice of salami.

I remember one time, not too long ago, I was seeking the Lord about a certain opportunity that had presented itself to me. It was a very exciting opportunity that would benefit many people including me. I was, however, not sure of the timing of the whole prospect. I’d been praying about this opening for some time and was convinced that the Lord wanted me to take the leap. However, the burning question was, “When?” One day, while I was still praying about it, the Lord led me to just these four words in the Bible: “Wait for the Lord.” So, wait I did.

Unbeknown to me there were several elements at work within my prospective opportunity that I was unaware of. I waited and watched like a dog watching every move of his master’s hand. One Sunday morning after church, just a few weeks after I had heard the Holy Spirit whisper those four words to me, God opened the way forward to move into this anticipated new venture. God’s ways are not our ways and our ways are not God’s ways but he will always watch over his word to perform it.

Perhaps there is a new opportunity presenting itself to you at this time. It could be that you have been hoping and praying about it for a while but you’re uncertain of when to act. Perhaps you’re feeling insecure at taking the plunge, as I did. If that’s you then know this, the Lord is your hope and your certainty. He knows your past from your future and his word to you will bear fruit in his time.

Like a dog watching for a crumb to drop from his master’s hand, set your gaze on his hand and wait for his every move. Those who wait for the Lord will renew their strength.

God-tracking is watching every move of your Master’s hand

“Dear God, open this opportunity up at just the right time and please help me to make the most of it with all wisdom and grace.”

“Father I know that my times are in your hands – my business, my relationships, my recreation and my future. I’m sorry that I have taken my eyes off your hand and looked at my feet while treading this path of life. Only you hold the keys to my blessings and my successes; only you know the exact moment for everything to work out in my life. I choose, therefore, to fix my eyes on your every move, O Lord. I choose to wait for you and keep your ways. Dear God, open this opportunity up at just the right time and please help me to make the most of it with all wisdom and grace. Amen.”

“…you may have been taken advantage of or offended in some way. Perhaps this has left you feeling rejected or alone. But take courage, the Lord your God is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. The same El Roi who comforted Hagar is reminding you today that his eye is on you.”

Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.

Rightly or wrongly, Hagar, the servant of Abraham’s wife, Sarah, was pregnant with Abraham’s son. God had promised Abraham that he would have a son by Sarah but she was barren. Therefore, according to their custom, a servant girl was given to Abraham to bear him a son. Unfortunately, Sarah became jealous of Hagar’s success and banished her from the household. Hagar cried out to God and God replied: “Behold, you are pregnant and shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has listened to your affliction.” God’s grace was upon this humble servant girl. He had heard her cry. In response, Hagar called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are a God of seeing,” or El Roi.

Our God is the God of seeing. He sees everything that happens on earth. God is omniscient, that is, he is all-knowing. The Bible even says, he knows the number of hairs on your head, something I bet you don’t even know. Just as in Hagar’s case, you may have been taken advantage of or offended in some way. Perhaps this has left you feeling dejected or alone. But take courage, the Lord your God is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. The same El Roi who comforted Hagar is reminding you today that his eye is on you.

So, continue to acknowledge El Roi in all your ways and trust him to direct your life’s track. He is the God who sees.

God-tracking is living confidently under his watchful eye.

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

As your eye is on me so I pray, help me to keep my eyes on Jesus.

“Dear Lord God – El Roi – I know you are all-knowing and all-seeing. You see everything that happens in the life of everyone on earth, because you are GOD. Therefore, I put my trust completely in your knowledge and foreknowledge of my life. Thank you that you see me. Thank you that you know the number of hairs on my head. And thank you that, as your eye is on the sparrow, so your eye is on me. You are my healing, my peace, my hope and my future. You are my provider, my comforter and my guide. I acknowledge you in ALL my ways and trust that your will, will be done. As your eye is on me so I pray, help me to keep my eyes on Jesus. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS LETTING GOD DO WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO

GOD-TRACKING IS LETTING GOD DO WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO

 Jeremiah 1:12The LORD said to me, "You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled."

 “Dear God Tracker, the Lord himself is watching over his Word in your life to safeguard his purposes for you… So, resist the urge of speaking on God’s behalf or trying to feebly bring his promises to fruition by your might. Only God can fulfil his own Word to you.”

David’s men had just returned from striking the Philistines at Gezer. The Lord had helped him in this mighty and victorious campaign against the enemy and David was pleased. To celebrate and give thanks to God, he calls for the Ark of the Covenant to be brought from the house of Abinadab. So Abinadab and his sons, Uzzah and Ahio load it up on a cart and set off. On the way the oxen pulling the cart stumbled and the Ark begins to fall to the ground. Uzzah makes a grab for it to steady it but in the process forgets the command of God that no one could touch the Ark and live. Instantly he is struck down and dies. Sadly, in their familiarity with the things of God, Abinadab and his sons had become complacent with his commands.

You may think it unfair that Uzzah died just because he tried to protect the Ark of the Covenant? Surely it would have fallen to the ground and shattered into pieces… or would it have? You see, God had given his Word and had commanded Moses to prevent anyone from touching the Ark, because of its holiness. This was the same God who, by his Word, had commanded the universe into being. When God speaks no man could can add to his Word. When God speaks no man could can detract from his Word. God is very capable of watching over his word to fulfil it. If this is true then, even if the Ark had fallen, it would have been safe. The Ark contained the 10 Commandments and, in his flippancy, Uzzah paid the price for assuming he could watch over God’s Word to safeguard it.

Dear God Tracker, the Lord himself is watching over his Word in your life to safeguard his purposes for you. He does have a plan for you; a plan to prosper and not to harm you. There is hope for the situation you face today. If you seek the Lord with all your heart you will find his plans to restore your fortunes and give you a future. His Word has promised health to your flesh and peace to your soul. God’s Word to you today is to trust in him and walk in his ways without you trying to fulfil his promises. Scripture says that just as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not evaporate back to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so is his Word that goes out from his mouth: It will not return to him empty, but will accomplish what he desires and achieve the purpose for which he sent it. You see, God is more than capable of accomplishing all his plans and purposes for you with success and blessing. So, resist the urge of speaking on God’s behalf or trying to feebly bring his promises to fruition by your might. Only God can fulfil his own Word to you.

I am sorry for taking you for granted and for becoming flippant about your Word to me

“Thank you O my Lord, for all your promises to me. Thank you that you have given me your Word that you will direct my purposes accordingly, as I continue to acknowledge you in all I do. Thank you that you will meet all my needs according to your riches in Christ and provide me with peace from my anxieties as I pray with thanksgiving. Thank you for my health, for the people who love me and for the hope of a blessed future. I am sorry for taking you for granted and for becoming flippant about your Word to me. Today I realise that you are very able to watch over your Word and your purposes in my life far, far better than I could ever do. I put my faith in you. Vindicate the truth in me. Praise you Father that your promises are always yes, in Jesus. Amen!”
