Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS DOING LIFE GOD’S WAY

2 Corinthians 13:14
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Sally was sitting flat on the filthy pavement, her back against the shop window. People streamed passed her on the busy city sidewalk, oblivious to her plight. No one noticed her smudged mascara or the dried tear stains on her cheeks. Sally had nowhere to go; rejected by her lover, thrown out of her apartment, now homeless, penniless and alone. Only 3 months prior Sally was safe and secure in a caring home with her husband and 2 children. Sadly, she’d been led astray by an urge to seek for that elusive, “there’s gotta be more to life than this”. Dissatisfied with what she had, she’d left her husband a note, drew their life savings and set off on an adventure to explore the world. Now it was all gone. She sat there alone, longing to fill her stomach with at least the scraps from her dear husband’s plate. “O Lord, I have failed you,” she said between sobs, “I am deeply sorry.”

Sally knew Jesus. She had committed her heart to him in Sunday School as a child. She and her husband had attended a wonderful family friendly church, back home. However, she had become dissatisfied with that same-old routine, day after day and week after week. Discontentment has a way of clouding our judgement. Sally had abandoned her security, her family and even her faith to fulfil a craving for the alternative life. She thought she could make it rich. How she had discovered that she could not do life on her own or in her own way. There is nothing more to live for but to humbly repent and seek God’s will again. Sally dragged herself up to her feet. “Perhaps if I can just get to the train station, God will help me find my way home.”

So many of us think we can make it on our own. Perhaps not as severe as this little story today, but we all, one way or another, often abandon all reason – and God’s will – trying to do life our way. This is folly. There is no way I can do my life any other way, with any meaningful purpose, than to do it God’s way. The scriptures tell us to acknowledge God in all our ways and he will make our paths straight. Scripture tells us to humble ourselves before the Lord and he will lift us up. God knows your past from your future and he knows how to fit everything else in, in-between. If you’ve acknowledged him as Lord, then he is the author of your life.

Pray
“Dear Lord, I’m at my wits end. Please forgive me for taking my eyes off you and seeking to do life my own way. I’ve made a mess of it. I realise now that the only way to do things is to do them your way. Forgive me for stepping out of your will. I make a U-turn now and reaffirm that you are my Lord and my guide. I acknowledge you in all my ways again and trust you to direct my life’s paths. I seek first your will – your kingdom and your righteousness – and trust that everything else in life will fall into place. Help me to return to the place where I left this track, so that I can continue to live content within your will. Amen."

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS LIVING BY FAITH UNDER THE BENEFITS OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS IN YOU

Romans 1:17
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”

Jesus is the blueprint of God for your life. The Bible says that we have all sinned and corrupted his perfect righteous image in which we were created. Even though God gave us the Law of Moses, it was rendered powerless in that it was weakened by the sinful nature. So, God sent his own Son, Jesus to reconcile us to himself. Because Jesus is God – God incarnate – he is and was sinless. Even so, God’s plan was to allow righteous Jesus to take the curse of sin when he died for us. You see, God imputed Jesus with your sin so that, by repentance and faith, you could be imputed with his righteousness. In Christ, you become the righteousness of God. Jesus in you is God’s original plan for your life.

Many people think they need to work hard to earn God’s favour, but this is impossible. God is so holy and righteous that we would need to become as he is in order to earn his favour. However, Jesus is already how God is, because Jesus is God in the flesh. Therefore, to become righteous, you and I need to intentionally repent of sin and then live by faith in God’s grace. The moment you truly repent of sin and admit your failings, you die to the old nature of sin. Then the moment you exercise faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus you put confidence in Christ and begin to live by his righteousness.

If you are in Christ you are a new creation, the old sinful life is gone and you have a new righteous life, in Christ. You were crucified with him when you confessed your sins and surrendered your life to God. It’s no longer the old you living in your body; it’s Christ living in you; and he is the righteousness of God! You see, the righteousness you now have in you is not your righteousness but it’s God’s righteousness in you.

Therefore, you can claim the benefits of the righteous. The Palms are packed with promises to the righteous:

“For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favour as with a shield,” (Psalm 5:11)

“The eyes of the Lord are towards the righteous and his ears towards their cry,” (Psalm 34:15)

“When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles,” (Psalm 34:17)

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all,” (Psalm 34:19)

“I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread,” (Psalm 37:25)

These are to mention but a few. However, we remind ourselves that we can only stand righteous before God, through Christ. That is, Jesus Christ is truly righteous and only by faith in his atoning death are we made righteous. Indeed, the righteous will live by faith!

God-tracking is living by faith under the benefits of God’s righteousness in you

Fix your eyes on Jesus

Thank you for your grace and mercy and for forgiving me of all sin. I choose to die to my old self and commit my life to you, in Jesus’ name. By faith I now lay hold of your righteousness. I confess that Jesus became sin for me so that, in him, I might become righteous by your righteousness. Thank you for the promises you make to the righteous. I’m made righteous by faith and so live daily by faith, claiming the benefits of the righteous as written in your Word. Thank you for cleansing my sin and making me righteous, in Christ. Amen.”

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS FACING EVERY WEARY DAY WITH THE ZEAL OF GOD

Isaiah 9:7
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.

My favourite spot in my home is where I have my time with the Lord. This spot happens to be the floor next to my bed in my bedroom. I love to sit with my back against the bed facing the window and read the Bible. That morning I sat down a little disgruntled. “Lord I feel so unmotivated at the moment,” I grumbled. “So much going on. I feel like I’ve run out of steam.” I opened my Bible randomly. It fell to Isaiah chapter 9 and I began to read: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given…” In my heart I was saying, I’ve read this portion so many times. How does it apply to what I’m feeling today? Then my eyes fell on the last line of Isaiah’s prophecy, “The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.” These words leapt out of the page at me.

Another word for zeal is the word, enthusiasm. That day I was feeling less than enthusiastic to say the least. I had several projects on the go and was waiting on the Lord for a word for my Sunday sermon. It’s not easy to find inspiration when one is feeling low. As I read those words God’s zeal consumed me. I literally felt strength return to my weary arms.

Are you feeling overloaded, underpaid and taken for granted today? Perhaps you’re not well and feel your energy fading away. Our God is sovereign and omnipotent. His strength is endless and only his zeal can strengthen our weary bones. Christ knows exactly what you face today and how you are feeling, so come to Jesus when you’re weary and overloaded; he will give you rest. Cast all your cares on him, because he cares for how you feel. Allow his enthusiasm to consume you. Remember, the zeal the zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

God-tracking is facing every weary day with the zeal of God

Blessings

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS TRUSTING GOD’S PLANS THROUGH THICK AND THIN

Proverbs 17:3
The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the Lord tests hearts.

Joseph sat in a pool of gloom on the grimy floor of the king’s dungeon. It had been months since he’d interpreted the dreams of the king’s baker and cup-bearer, who had been imprisoned some time after he had. His dreams had come true. The baker had been executed while the cup-bearer was set free and reinstated to his position. This man had promised to put in a good word in for Joseph, but he had obviously forgotten.

Joseph’s mind wondered back to his own dreams, which he’d had many years previously. He believed the dreams had implied that God would promote him and cause him to become a man of influence. However, his brothers were jealous of him and had sold him into slavery. Finally ending up in an important servant in the household of an important man in Egypt, Joseph thought he might be on the road to success, but now this. “Adonai, why am I still here?” he moaned. “The cup-bearer promised he would get me out of here but here I am, still in prison.” Just then he heard the guard approach and keys clanging against the metal of dungeon gate. “Get up,” said the man. “The king has had a disturbing dream and was told you have the power to interpret dreams. He wants to see you. You’re free.”

We all know the story of how Joseph went on to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams, warning against a the coming of a 7-year drought. Pharaoh promotes him and he becomes the second most important person of all of Egypt.

God had a reason for Joseph to be sold into slavery. God had a reason for Joseph to be wrongly accused of rape and thrown into prison. God had a reason for every seeming setback that Joseph endured. If Joseph was not sold into slavery and thrown into prison he would not have interpreted the king’s dreams. If Joseph had not interpreted these dreams he would not have prevented people from dying from the drought, including his own family. If Joseph did not save his family, his brother Judah would have died. If Judah had died his descendant, Jesus would never have been crucified for the sins of the world. If Jesus was never crucified for sin, you and I would be lost today!

God had a plan for Joseph, even through his trials and God has a plan for you, through yours. Joseph was refined in tribulation, like silver in the crucible, to become the one who preserved the lineage of Jesus Christ. God knows the plans he has to refine you through your difficulties that you may be the one to fulfil his great purposes for those around you.

God-tracking is trusting God’s plans through thick and thin

Blessings

I know you have spoken to me and given me promises for the future but it seems as though I’m never going to realise these promises. I feel like I’m in a furnace being refined by fire. But I know that even pure silver and gold are contaminated with impurities that only float to the surface when they are placed under intense heat. I ask you, therefore, to refine me through this crucible of difficulty so that you may scoop off the dross in me that comes to the surface. Thank you for the great plans you have for me. Help me have patience to wait for your plans to come to fruition, while I am refined through this tribulation. Amen.”

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS TREKKING YOUR UNCHARTED TRACK BY FAITH

Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

This life you live as a follower of Christ is a great adventure – a great trek along the highways and byways of time. Where you are going, no one has ever ventured before. You are a pioneer exploring a track that God has designed for only you to walk. Like any great pioneer trekking the wilds of uncharted territory, you will most certainly face hazards and dangers at every turn, but at the same time, you will be rewarded by the discovery of new experiences, new opportunities and new life.

Growing up in South Africa I remember learning about the Great Trek. The Cape of Good Hope was discovered by the Portuguese in 1497 but colonised by the Dutch in 1652. The British arrived in 1795 and took over the administration of this new territory. Sadly, animosity developed between the Dutch (who became known as Afrikaners) and the British. This lead to the Afrikaners deciding to migrate north and east.

Humble families uprooted their homes, collected their livestock and set out in ox wagons in 1830, across dangerous uncharted territory. The Great Trek was a hazardous journey across the great Drakensberg mountains. These families faced marauding tribes, famine and disease for many years until, in 1837, the last of the pioneers settled near the Limpopo River in the far north of the country. Indeed, the pioneers and explorers throughout history are bold adventurous people, setting out on great exploits into the unknown.

It takes faith to trek the wilds of uncharted territory. Hebrews 11 is packed with pioneers of faith who set out to trek the purposes of God with nothing more than his promises in hand. Very few of them ever realised the fulfilment of these promises in their lifetimes. However, they set out believing the Word of an invisible God who would accomplish the impossible on their behalf. God was pleased with their faith and he rewarded those who diligently sought him.

God has a plan for your life; a plan for hope and a prosperous future. However, from where you stand today, it may seem, all you can see are monsters and mountains. It will take faith to set out on that new adventure God has planned for you; faith that comes from his Word. And your faith can grow! So have courage like that of the great explorers of history and set out today in faith, to trek that unknown territory that God has planned specifically for you.

God-tracking is trekking your uncharted track by faith

Blessings

Dear God-tracker  

WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK

This e-devotional / blog is published once a week via godtracker.co.uk. It developed as a result of a radio programme I once produced called, On Track. Listeners of the radio show wrote in asking for copies of the content I shared on-air. I began sending this information out by e-mail once a week. These e-mails later developed into the e-devotional that has become known as, trACker. trACker is sent out to e-mail subscribers and published on several online blog sites every Friday.

I wish to express my deepest appreciation to you for supporting this ministry over the years. Your input invaluable. Therefore, from time to time I request your feedback in the form of a very short questionnaire.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would  email dudley@godtracker.co.uk with your answers to the following questions.

If you prefer, the questionnaire is also available online as an anonymous shttps://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/RR7WBRT

1.    How long have you subscribed to or been reading this devotional?
2.    How do you read trACker? By e-mail or online on a blog or social media site? If so, please tell us which one.
3.    How has trACker helped you in your Christian walk?
4.    Please give us any comments that may help us produce a better service to you

trACker is based on the scripture that reminds us that God knows the plans he has for us. The truth of that statement is, it is indeed, God who knows the plans he has for us; we don’t, not until he reveals them to us, that is. Therefore, to remain walking in God’s will we need to continue to seek and track his plans for us by acknowledging him in all our ways and keeping our eyes on Jesus.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Every blessing

Dudley

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS NEVER QUITTING TO PRAY FOR THAT LOST SOUL YOU LOVE

Luke 10:2
And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few. Therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.

Pastor Rod was sipping a cup of coffee at the tea table after church one morning, talking to a lady from the congregation. “You seem down today, Sharon,” he said, noticing that she wasn’t making eye contact with him. “Well, yes,” she answered, “I am feeling a little low. You remember my son, Paul?”

“Yes. Wasn’t he the lad who used to always come with you to church?”

“Yes. Well he’s 17-years old now and has dropped out of school. He went abroad with some friends. I don’t know where he is. Could you please pray for him?” she asked with desperation etched in her voice. “Of course I will,” replied her pastor. Rod faithfully put Paul’s name on his prayer list and prayed regularly for him, that he’d be kept safe and come to find Christ as his Lord and God.

Thirty years later Rod was once again sipping a cuppa at the church tea table after the service. Much had changed. He was now pastoring a new church in a new town and had lost contact with Sharon. A well-dressed middle aged man approached him, whom he’d never seen at church before. “Pastor Rod, we’ve not met. My name is Paul.”

Paul explained how he’d wondered far from the life he once knew growing up in a Christian home. He’d moved from town to town, country to country, living a life of sex, drugs, and decadence. Late one night, destitute and alone on the streets of Ankara a stranger walked up to him and said, “Your life is a mess but you already know the way to get back on your feet. Pray and surrender your life to Jesus. He will rescue you from the chaos you’re in.” Paul dropped his head into his hands and broke down. When he looked up again, the man was gone. “I don’t know if he was an angel or not, Pastor Rod, but one thing I do know, my mother told me you’ve been praying for me all these years. Thank you so much.”

Dear God-tracker, our God is a faithful God whose love endures forever. Scripture tells us that he never abandons us, even when we abandon him. When we pass through fire or the flood he is with us. Jesus taught a parable wherein a young man deserted his father and ran off in seek of fame and fortune only to find himself penniless, impoverished and eating husks fed to pigs just to survive. Coming to his senses and returns home to his father who welcomes him with open arms.

Never, never give up praying for that friend or loved one to come to salvation. God is watching over that dear one and will cause them to hear the message of his love at just the right time. You never know, he may even send his angels to rescue them. Just keep praying!

God-tracking is never quitting to pray for that lost soul you love.

Blessings

Dudley

Pray
“Dear God, you know I’ve been praying for this person to come to know you for many years. I thank you that you are a faithful God and you will never abandon him to his depravity. I trust that you will keep him safe and sound, wherever he is, and that he will have opportunity to hear the message of your love, through Jesus. Send workers into the harvest field of his life to reap that crop. Send angels, if need be, to protect him and guide him to a place where he will respond to the Gospel. I pray that he will respond to the message of your grace and give his life to you. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.”

What is trACker?
GodTracker and trACker owe their origins to an international Christian radio programme produced by Dudley Anderson called, On Track. Although On Track went off-air in 2005, trACker has continued to help people to track God's plans and purposes for their lives since July 2003.
