Dear God-tracker

 

God-tracking is holding on to that Word God has GIVEN you, today

 

God’s Word, the Bible, is packed with promises of God for those who love and serve him through Jesus Christ. God has promised hope for eternal life, forgiveness of sin, healing for the sick, provision for the needy, joy for the grieving and peace for anxious. I also believe that the Lord has a unique promise for the plan and purpose of your life, today. His plans are always good and his plans never come undone. And here’s the proverbial cherry on the top of the cream cake: all of God’s promises are yes and amen through the Lord Jesus Christ!

                                         

As you read these words here today and look up the scriptures listed below know this, I believe the Lord has a specific word for you. I believe, dear God Tracker, that God’s purpose for you is definitely not over, yet. In fact, God’s purposes for those who seek to track his will are never completed until the day they breathe their last breath on earth and go home to their Lord in glory. As you read these words here today, know that God’s word to you is: he will fulfil your hearts longing if you continue to acknowledge him in all your ways and walk according to his word.

 

You may have been praying about a new opportunity or waiting for the Lord to prompt a decision that you are about to make; a decision that will change your life. God may have promised you a new venture that will end up bending you and manipulating you in ways you may never expect but know this, he will never leave you alone. His word is always true and his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.

 

If that’s for you today then I hear the Holy Spirit say, “I love it when a plan comes together;” and his plans are to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a new future. Walk in his promises today and never look back!

 

God-tracking is holding on to that word God has given you, today.

Today I commit myself to serve you and make the most of every opportunity you bring my way, with wisdom from your Spirit. Help me to have the faith to step out and grab a hold of this promise you have for me. And I pray for strength to endure any bending and re-shaping that I may need to endure in order to follow your new plans for my life. Jesus, I am yours! Amen.”

God-tracking is coming humbly hungry to his table

Dear God-tracker
 
God-tracking is coming humbly hungry to his table 

When I came home from the office on Tuesday afternoon I was not a little hungry. As I walked through the front door I was hit by the aroma of a delicious spicy curry coming from the kitchen. My empty tummy performed cartwheels! “How far is dinner?” I asked my lovely wife as she stirred the steaming pot on the cooker. “Probably another half hour,” she replied.

I knew I’d never make it. When my tummy is hungry then I am blinded to all good reason, so I invaded the snack box. Hmm, a bag of crisps would be nice… and a Mars Bar, perhaps. I munched a snack before supper. Thirty minutes later when I finally sat down with the family to consume that scrumptious curry that my wife had so lovingly prepared I was disappointed to find that I was no longer hungry. 

Humbly hungry is how we are to come before the Lord our God. The Lord is magnificent, almighty and all-powerful. In fact, God is so great and infinite that we would never be able - in this life - to know his fullness. However, we are called to seek him with all our hearts. We are encouraged to be hungry for his righteousness. Jesus is called God’s Rest, any wonder then that he says that when we are weary we are to come to him. We come to him just as we are – empty and humbly hungry. 

I encourage you today to not snack before dinner. Don’t allow yourself to be filled up with the things this world can offer, before coming to Jesus. Humbly come to him with an empty spiritual tummy, hungry for what only he can give you. The Psalms tell us that he prepares a table for us before our enemies. So come hungry to the banquet he has fixed for you; hungry for that deposit from heaven, his Holy Spirit. Only he can satisfy your cravings and your longings. Only he can fulfil your purposes and ambitions. His presence is all you need today, tomorrow and for the rest of your life. 

God-tracking is coming humbly hungry to his table. 

Stay blessed

I confess Jesus as Lord and humbly hunger for a touch of your Spirit. Lord, I open my heart to you and lay down all my preconceived notions and opinions. I want to be hungry for only you, forgive me for ‘snaking’ on what the world offers. I want only you. Show me your glory. I am humbly hungry to experience your supernatural touch in my life. I come just as I am to serve you. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS MAKING CHOICES IN GOD

Dear God-tracker 

GOD-TRACKING IS MAKING CHOICES IN GOD

If you were able to ask the legendary Luciano Pavarotti how he became one of the greatest tenors of the 20th century he would tell you this story: "When I was a boy, my father, a baker, introduced me to the wonders of song. He urged me to work very hard to develop my voice. Arrigo Pola, a professional tenor in my hometown of Modena, Italy, took me as a pupil. I also enrolled in a teachers college. On graduating, I asked my father, 'Shall I be a teacher or a singer?' My father replied, 'Luciano, if you try to sit on two chairs, you will fall between them. For life, you must choose one chair.'

The great tenor then would tell you of how he gave up the secure future of a singing teacher to take to the stage. It took seven years of study and frustration before he made his first professional appearance and another seven years to reach the Metropolitan Opera. Finally he’d add, “And now I think whether it's laying bricks, writing a book -- whatever we choose -- we should give ourselves to it. Commitment, that's the key. Choose one chair and sit on it."
 

As you and I seek to track the plans of God for our lives we are often faced with the dilemma of choice. As Believers it is essential that we make our life choices based upon remaining within God’s explicit will. One thing I have personally discovered is this: the will of God is always a place of peace and security but not always a comfortable place to be (ask any missionary).  Therefore the right choice may not always be the most lucrative or the most physically comfortable option. However, if you truly acknowledge the Lord in every choice you make and seek his guidance in faith then you will choose according to his perfect will for you. And God’s will, will result in your blessing; the blessing of God brings success, always. 

Dear God Tracker, know this that God has a deliberate, exclusive, designer purpose for you and your family. He knew you before you were born, he knows the day you’ll breathe your last and everything between. So if you’re facing choices today be sure to fix your eyes on Jesus, the author of your faith. Then acknowledge God in prayer and before others. And then go ahead, choose one chair and sit on it! After all, this is what God-tracking is all about.

God-tracking is making choices in God 

Happy God-tracking

I want to only ever follow your perfect plan for me and my family

Pray:
“My Lord, I’m in a dilemma. I am faced with some options for the future, as you know, and seek your will for the choice I’m about to make. I choose firstly to acknowledge the fact that you have knowledge of my future and, therefore, I acknowledge you in this choice I’m about to make. I confess your lordship over my life and humbly submit to your explicit purpose for me. I lift my eyes off of the problem and look up to Jesus as author of my life. I seek your blessing – that is, your endorsement – upon this option that I face today. If this is not of you, O God Almighty, then take it from me and remove the desire from my heart. I want to only ever follow your perfect plan for me and for my family. Help me make this choice now. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

Dear God-tracker 

God-tracking is ALWAYS knowing that God knows IT ALL 

In 1985 an American singer-songwriter, Julie Gold was working as a secretary when she wrote a song that Bette Midler took to number one on the Adult Contemporary chart in 1990. The song talks about how peaceful the world would look from far away and has the refrain, “God is watching us. God is watching us. God is watching us from a distance.”  From a distance? 

Several years ago I was going through a particularly difficult time. I was overworked, under paid and totally stressed out. You know the feeling, when it seems everyone is ganging up on you (though they’re not really) and it feels as though you have no one to talk to. In the middle of my predicament my wife and I were invited to a meeting where a lady with the gift of prophecy was ministering. It was a small group so after her talk she spent a few minutes praying over individuals. When she came to me the Lord gave her a word of knowledge upon which she proceeded to describe all I was going through at that time, in detail. You must understand that I had not met this woman before that night and I’d not had any conversation with her prior to this moment. Added to this was the fact that no one else in that group, except my wife, knew of my situation. I can safely say that the Holy Spirit had indeed given this minister the information she was now sharing. At that very moment I realised, because she knew what I was going through I knew, God knew!   

Dear God Tracker, the Lord your God is not watching you from a distance, he knows what’s going on in your life at this exact moment. The Holy Spirit is as close to you as your own breath. In fact, God knows more about you than you know yourself, because he knows your future. The scriptures remind us to acknowledge him in every aspect of our lives and then to trust that he will direct the outcome of all we are and all we do, according to his purposes. And his purposes are always good! He will chart your path and tell you where to stop and rest. Every moment he knows precisely where you are. So come to Jesus and rest in his love, in his care and in his purposes.

God-tracking is always knowing that God knows it all. 

Every Blessing

God-tracking is like playing follow the leader with JESUS

Dear God-tracker

God-tracking is like playing follow the leader with JESUS 

When I was a boy we used to play a game called, follow the leader. The game involved one boy becoming the leader while a bunch of others would follow him as he ran and walked and climbed over ever obstacle imaginable. The followers would follow the leader to the point of complete mimic, down to facial expressions! It was so much fun that even after the game had stopped we would continue imitating each other until we rolled on the floor with laughter. 

As Christians we are often called followers of Christ. This implies that we should be following not only the words Jesus spoke but his very behaviour. I believe that Jesus was a fun-loving guy who loved kids. Much of his teachings involved analogies of childlikeness. For instance, he once taught that the way to find God’s kingdom was with the heart of a child. Life can be fun if you allow Jesus to take the lead. Therefore, to be a God-tracker is to be a follower of Christ and to be a follower of Christ is to play follow the leader with Jesus. 

However, all too often problems come in our lives because we choose to do our own thing and don’t allow God to guide us.  When we trust in ourselves and in our own abilities we set ourselves up for problems. The Lord desires that we trust in him completely by following the instructions of his Word and the lead of his Spirit, always. We don’t always understand why certain things happen the way they do but even when things go wrong in life, we must trust that God is still in control. Therefore, we must rely emphatically on him and not lean on our own understanding. Sadly though, many of us do rely too much on our own opinions, so much so that we completely miss God’s best for our lives. 

God-tracking is like playing follow the leader with Jesus 

Keep your eyes on Jesus.

God-tracking is being willing to bend to God testing

Dear God-tracker

 

God-tracking is being willing to bend to God testing

 

The young pastor lifted his eyes from the hard concrete of the train station platform and looked again into the moistened eyes of the woman he called his wife. They were still deeply in love but they both knew it was over. Six years ago he’d left his wife and children and a flourishing Christian work to marry this woman, but in that time he had come to realise that, though strong, their love was wrong. These years had been extremely trying. There was no longer any blessing on his work and everything that could go wrong, had gone wrong. Initially he thought he could bend the scriptures to qualify his sin but to no avail. God’s Word stood strong. After much heartache and strife they had both come to realise that the only way to walk in God’s will again was to repent of their tainted love. Yet, the young pastor knew that, although he had sinned and done wrong, God was using his folly to train him in the school of life - all who God calls, God tests. This young man had endured 6 years of wilderness training and was now ready and stronger to return to the call of his Lord, with repentance. They said good bye as he boarded the train with a sad yet contrite heart.

 

Dear God-tracker, the scriptures are packed with scenarios like the one you have just read: Moses had the potential of becoming an ambassador for God’s people in Egypt but he killed an Egyptian and fled to the desert of Midian. It was here that he had his burning bush call to become the greatest prophet/leader Israel has ever known. King David committed adultery with Bathsheba and endured heartache until he came to repentance, after which he was called the apple of God’s eye. Bold Simon Peter who had acknowledged Jesus as the Christ and had pledged his undying elegance to his Lord had turned timid after Jesus was arrested and flatly denied him three times. Yet after Peter’s repentance Jesus reinstated him as primary leader of the first Church, ever.

 

If you feel as though you are going through a desert experience because of a bad choice or because you have sinned then rest assured God is testing you. Taking the examples above, repent and recommit yourself to tracking God’s purposes. Sometimes, as only God knows how, God himself will burn off the deceit, immoral ambitions or foolish behaviour of the ones he calls for his ends. So believe me when I say, those God calls, God tests, because a contrite heart he seeks.

 

God-tracking is being willing to bend to God testing.

 

Keep your eyes on Jesus.

Pray:

“O Lord I really desire to be a God-tracker but tracking your plans and purposes for my life involves my responding to your call. I see now that those you call to serve you, you test. Often that testing involves you refining me of my selfish ambitions. So I want to take this time to admit that I have made many mistakes and even sinned by following my own ambitions and not your calling. I humble myself and repent of all my sin and bad choices. O Lord, forgive me for taking my eyes off the purity of your purposes to pursue my own desires. Like Moses, David and Peter I turn my back on my folly and recommit myself to following your call. You are my Lord and I love you. Amen.”
