GOD-TRACKING IS A PERSONAL REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Psalm 9:10
And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you

Samantha was sharing with me about how she had had triplets 25 years ago. Sadly, the 2 boys had died. Her daughter had grown into a lovely woman but, at the time, the death of her two sons had weighed heavily on Sam and her marriage, resulting in separation.

When her daughter was 2, Samantha was invited to attend a church near where she lived. “The people were so caring,” she told me. “They loved us and helped me to come to terms with the death of my other children. Pastor Andy was a lovely man.” Samantha continued to tell me how the pastor and the church folk had helped and cared for her and her little girl. However, after benefitting from their support for a couple of years, Samantha became increasingly disinterested and finally stopped attending the church. The years following were a struggle for Samantha. “Sam,” I said, “I’m so happy your church friends helped you through your crisis, but I am sad to notice that you did not seem to find the one true relationship that would take you on to live a full and secure life; a relationship with God.”

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us to God. Sin separated us from a real relationship with the Father but, because of his grace and love, Father God sent his Son, Jesus to bear the consequences of sin and die for us all (the consequence of sin is death). Then through his resurrection from the dead, Jesus opened the way for us to be reconciled to God. After the work of the cross, God poured out his Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “The Helper, the Holy Spirit, the Father will send in my name, will come.” Through the work of Jesus on the cross and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, we can all find meaning in life and a real personal relationship with God.

“God’s love is shown through his people, but only through a daily personal relationship with God can we experience a lifetime of comfort and hope,” I said to Samantha. “People may let you down, but the Lord will never leave you nor forsake you.”

God-tracking is a personal real relationship with God

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

Dear Holy Spirit, I open up every aspect of my life to you

Dear Jesus, I realise now that I have never actually asked you into my life. I have good relationships with many godly people but have never entered into a personal relationship with you. Lord, come into my life; I give my life to you. Thank you for the cross and thank you for the fellowship of your Spirit. Dear Holy Spirit, I open up every aspect of my life to you. I acknowledge God in all my ways and seek you with all my heart. Thank you for the promise that you will never leave me or forsake me. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS TUNING INTO GOD’S CLEAR SIGNAL

Colossians 3:2
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

I grew up in the 1970s when computers were great big monsters that filled a room the size of a bus depot. The World Wide Web was a fuzzy construction built by the resident spider in the corner of the room, behind one of the one-ton printers. Online radio was non-existent. The only way one could ever listen to foreign radio was via shortwave. And I loved my shortwave radio receiver. I’d erect high wooden poles to run a wire up to receive a better signal. Little did I know that 20 years later I’d enjoy the privilege of broadcasting on shortwave radio.

Swizz, beep-beep, boing, shhhh would come the sound from the small speaker of my little SW receiver. Turning the knob, I’d listen carefully until I found the reasonable signal of a station like, Trans World Radio. Then, for seemingly no reason, the voice would become garbled and snarled by electromagnetic interference. I’d twiddle that dial and waggle the aerial until the signal eventually returned and I was able to continue listing to TWR.

God’s Word tells us to be holy as God is holy. With regard to the patterns of this world, Christians are exhorted to be separate. In other words, as followers of Christ, we are called to live lives free of the interference of the world. By no means are we told to despise or reject the people of the world (for God loved the world so much that he sent Jesus to die for it) but we are told to tune into God’s voice and separate ourselves from the corruption of sin. You see, sin has a way of creeping in under the radar. Just like when I listened to shortwave radio stations, electromagnetic interference would corrupt the radio station signal I was tuned to, so that I could not hear what was being said, so sin interferes with our sensitivity to the voice of God’s Holy Spirit. May we learn to twiddle those spiritual dials and raise those spiritual antennae higher to cut out the noise of the WORLD to receive a clearer signal from the WORD.

God-tracking is tuning into God’s clear signal.

I open my heart and open my ears to hear your still voice more clearly

“Oh Lord, I’m sorry for allowing the interference of the world to creep into my spiritual walk. I confess and repent of all I’ve allowed into my life that may have corrupted my experience of you; every deed, every thought and every word that has grieved you Holy Spirit. Forgive me, Lord. I choose now to raise my spiritual aerial and finetune ears into your still small voice. I change channels to fix my thoughts on things above and not earthly things. Help me to seek you in prayer and the reading of your Word. I open my heart and open my ears to hear your still voice more clearly. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS LIVING EVERY MOMENT CONFIDENT IN HIS SOVEREIGN TIMING

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS LIVING EVERY MOMENT CONFIDENT IN HIS SOVEREIGN TIMING

“The fall of Jericho could be described by a natural disaster,” said the commentator in a TV documentary I was watching about Joshua’s conquest of the city. “The Jordan Rift Valley runs closer to Jericho than the San Andreas Fault does to San Francisco,” he went on to say. “In all likelihood, the walls of Jericho collapsed because of an earthquake.” 

Very often science tries to argue away the supernatural acts of God with natural conclusions. However, as feasible as the scientific conclusion seemed to be in this instance, as I watched, I became even increasingly impressed by the biblical account. If Jericho was breached by a natural earthquake then it’s even more amazing how Joshua was compelled by supernatural timing to blast the ram’s horn at the exact moment that the earth would shake. We need to remember that God is sovereign, his timing is perfect and his ends are supreme!

Through Isaiah the Holy Spirit said, “The former things I declared of old. As they went out from my mouth, and I announced them, suddenly I did them and they came to pass.” And he said, “I am he; I am the first, and I am the last. My hand laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I call to them, they stand forth together." The creator God we serve is all-knowing, all-powerful and ever-present. Here he is called the first and the last. If this is true then God exists in the past, the present and the future, all at the same time! Therefore, God is superior to time. In other words, God holds time in his hands. The timing of every event in the universe is designed and orchestrated by God Almighty.

God knows your beginning from your end and everything in-between! He was there when you took that first breath and he will be there when you breathe your last. Your God knows every moment and every movement of your life. Is it any wonder the scriptures tell us to acknowledge him in all our ways? If it is true that God prompted a mighty earthquake at precisely the moment the Israelites blew their trumpets in his praise after walking around Jericho 7 times in 7 days then I know that this same God can move your world according to his perfectly timed plans for your life. Rest in his sovereignty over your today and his perfect will for your tomorrow. Try not to fathom God with intellect. Rather fathom him with faith. Commit your moment by moment to him and it will amaze you how all things – both good and bad –  will work out for your good, always!

God-tracking is living every moment confident of his sovereign timing

Every blessing

I put my trust in your timing for every event in my life

Pray
“Dear Lord I realise now that my times are in your hands. I believe that, if I acknowledge you in all my ways then you will direct the timing of my paths. Therefore, I believe that all things – good or bad – in my life will work out according to your will for my good. So I put my trust in your timing for every event in my life. I commit my relationships, my work and my recreation to you. I commit my present and my future to you, and thank you for your hand on my past. Help me to rest assured that you will orchestrate every moment of my life according to the plans you know you have for me. Amen.”
