Dear God-tracker

God-tracking is a daily God-consciousness 

A while back I sensed Holy Spirit telling me to give him 7 days as a kind of fast by focusing my time and energies on his presence. I felt he was saying that I should not be consumed by anything else in the week except that which was essential to doing my daily job and loving those around me. He impressed upon me that I was to commit every day of the week to consciously seeking him and to looking for Jesus’ touch on all that I was doing. 

I will admit that, as the week progressed, it took some serious self-discipline for me to stop myself from thinking about my selfish ambitions, aspirations and desires. Every time I became distracted by my daily routine or began to daydream about the future, Holy Spirit would draw me back to being conscious of his presence at that moment. I began to learn that I should view everything in my life, from brushing my teeth to loving my wife or planning the future, in the awareness of his presence. I discovered that the Lord my God should fill my whole vision. To me, Jesus should be larger than life!

As the week continued, the Lord began revealing things in my daily life that both pleased him and grieved him. I began working through some painful memories as the Holy Spirit revealed people that I had not yet forgiven. I also discovered aspects that God wanted me to concentrate more on as well as facets of my daily life that I needed surrender. I began to view my relationships, my recreation and my work through God’s eyes. He taught me to ask questions like, do I find Jesus in what I’m doing right now and can I be absolutely honest in saying that my activities, thoughts or words can be done in the conscious awareness of his presence?

Now, as my days progress, I discover the importance of tracking God’s will in very nuisance of my daily life. Every day I realise that I am not my own. My life is his and all that I desire should be to remain in his will. The Bible says, “It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives through me and the life I live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.” It also reminds us to seek first God’s domain in our lives and his goodness before we can begin to realise his daily blessings and provision. Funny though, the closer I get to God, the further I realise I am from Him.

God-tracking is a daily God-consciousness

A Sample of Dudley’s Fave Quotes.

“I have so many things to do today, I dare not ignore my time with God.” --- Martin Luther
 

Don’t Give-up, Look-up!

Look-up and Fix Your Eyes On Jesus!

Lord, help me to live every day with my Jesus, larger than life before my eyes

Pray:
“Heavenly Father I realise that I have not been conscious of your presence in every aspect of my daily routine. I confess that I have filled my days with things that are not pleasing to you and I repent, O Lord. I choose now to live moment by moment aware of your presence and that your eyes upon my life. But Lord, I admit that I find it very difficult to live like this. Somehow my ego has crept into everything in my life from my relationships to my private habits. Never-the-less, I know that only by your strength I will be able to face all circumstances and fulfil every plan you have for me. Lord, help me to live every day with my Jesus, larger than life before my eyes. I can do all things through you. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS KNOWING THAT GOD PERSONALLY KNOWS YOUR EVERY MOVEMENT

Dear God-tracker 


There once was a man who cared for the two orphaned sons of his brother after their parents died in a motor accident. Paul was a kindly uncle who treated both of his nephews fairly, with love and respect. As the boys grew it became clear that the younger lad was more adventurous than the older. He would squander his pocket money and often fall prey to foul play at school. Uncle Paul would often need to call the youngster to account and council him on the hazards of wild living. Paul spent hours praying for and talking to the younger brother, however, loved both of these boys equally. 

Through time, as they grew into young men, the older brother began to complain that his sibling was Paul’s favourite. “You’re always spending time with Roger,” he said, “you never seem to notice anything I do. I worked hard at school to earn your favour; I’ve never been involved in anything untoward and I’ve set about to follow a commendable career. Yet, it seems, you don’t even know what I’m doing with my life.”  

“Ah Peter, you’re right,” replied his uncle. “I have put a great deal of effort into your brother’s upbringing, but he needed my guidance more than you did. I love you just as much as I love him. It doesn’t mean that, because I paid more attention to Roger, that I have ignored you. I have watched you with pride and know about everything you’ve ever set your hand to do. I know you more than you know yourself and will always, always be there for you when you need me.” 

Sometimes this scenario often plays out in our relationship with Father God. I don’t know about you but I often find myself complaining to God that he doesn’t pay enough attention to me. I find that I compare myself to others at church or in the family and think that God is unaware of all the good things I do in life. When those around me are in need I witness how God provides for them. When those around me are going astray I notice how the Holy Spirit draws them back to God’s word. Well, what about me? Has God forgotten all about me? Does he even know me or see what I do? Are my ways hidden from the Lord? 

In the days of calamity, when Israel was faced with foes on every side, they witnessed what seemed to be God’s favour visited upon their enemies. Israel complained, “My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God.” Yet The Lord reaffirms through the prophet Isaiah that he, who does not grow weary, is full of understanding. And then there was King David. He was a man who served the Lord with integrity yet he too witnessed how others around him seemed to be blessed by God. But then he says, “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.”  

God the omnipresent and omniscient One does know all about you, dear God-tracker! He knows when you rise and when you fall. He knows your needs and your wants. He knows your achievements, your failures, your disappointments and your joys. It may seem to you that he takes no notice of you and seems to bless others around you, but know this: God knows even the very number of hairs on your head! Rest assured today that the Lord your God knows precisely where you are on your track of life and he is walking along with you every step of the way. So try not to compare your life to those around you; if God is their God then he will call them to account for their own lives. Just keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and your ears open to his command. 

God-tracking is knowing that God personally knows your every movement. 

Stay blessed 

Dudley

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!
Look up and Fix Your Eyes on Jesus! 

I believe… you are personally involved in every aspect of my life 

“Heavenly Father, I realise now that you know all there is to ever know about me. Thank you that you care for me, even when it seems that you’re silent. In fact, it’s when you’re silent that I believe I have no reason for concern, because it’s at those times that I am walking quietly within your will. Help me to not compare my life to others’ lives and I’m sorry if I’ve ever done so. I believe and confess that you are my personal Lord and Saviour and, as such, you are personally involved in every aspect of my life. Amen.”
