“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”

GOD-TRACKING IS ABOUNDING IN HIS PREDESTINED PURPOSES, IN REPENTANCE

GOD-TRACKING IS ABOUNDING IN HIS PREDESTINED PURPOSES, IN REPENTANCE

Ephesians 1:11
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will

God-tracking is all about seeking and following the purposes of God. One of the key verses for this thought is found in Jeremiah chapter 29. Verse 11 tells us that God knows the plans he has for us and verse 13 says, “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” To me, this confirms that God has foreknowledge of our lives. He is omniscient, that is, he knows all things. Yet, we must seek his will.

Jesus and his disciples had just finished eating the Passover. Judas had already left to follow-through with his scheme to betray Jesus. As they prepared to walk to the Mount of Olives Peter boldly tells Jesus that he would die for him. Perhaps Jesus took Peter by the arm and looked him in the eye. “I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.” Later that night after Jesus had been arrested and taken to the High Priest’s home, when confronted, Peter denied his Lord, three times. When he realised what he’d done, Simon went out into the cold night and wept bitterly.

This sad story reveals how Jesus knew, beforehand, that Peter would deny him. Yes, God even knows when and how I will sin. In his foreknowledge, the Lord’s plan was to deal with our sin. Later, after Jesus had risen from the dead, he graciously forgave and reinstated Simon Peter, who becomes the first great leader of his Church.

You can never disappoint God. He knows everything about you, even your shortfalls. However, this gives you and me no licence to sin! But, when we do sin, we need to hastily admit to our sin, in repentance. If we confess our sin, he is faithful and just (justice was done at Calvary) to forgive us and cleanse us from all sin. In his foreknowledge, God has forgiven you. In his foreknowledge, God has blessed you in Christ with every spiritual blessing. In his foreknowledge, God has predestined you for great things according to the purposes of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will.

God-tracking is abounding in his predestined purposes, in repentance

READ ALL ABOUT ITLuke 22:31-34, 54-62, John 21:15-171 John 1:8-9Ephesians 1:3-14


I claim the promises of your Word…every spiritual blessing to fulfil your great purposes in me according to the counsel of your will

“Heavenly God, I realise that you know all things about me. You know my coming and going; you know my ups and downs and you know my rights and my wrongs. Dear Lord, I confess my sin – I admit to my wrongs – in repentance. Though I know that you knew I would sin, yet I seek your forgiveness and turn my back on all I’ve done that has grieved you. I claim the promises of your Word; promises that you will bless me with every spiritual blessing and fulfil your great purposes in me according to the counsel of your will. Amen!”
