Be confident of this, the Lord will never abandon you. He will work out his plans for your life, for his faithful love endures forever.”

Psalm 138:8 (NLT)
The Lord will work out his plans for my life—for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me.

GodTracker is a Christian motivational thought purposed to help you seek and track the plans that God has
for you. Scripture makes it plain that God does have a plan for your life; you’re predestined according to the purpose of the One who works all things according to the counsel of his will. If you personally acknowledge God in all your ways then he will work out his plans for your life because he loves you and he is faithful. The underlying confirmation of this fact is the reality of who God is.

God is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent and eternal. That is, he is all-knowing, ever-present, all-powerful and without end. This means the one you acknowledge as Lord of your life knows you personally. If you’re a true Christian believer then you have acknowledged Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. Because he is omniscient, the indwelling Holy Spirit knows us all better than we know ourselves. Being omnipresent he is in your company at this moment as he is in mine; his presence encompasses every believer worldwide. Since he is omnipotent, he has the power to meet your needs, heal your body and purpose your life’s track according to the plans he has for you. And God is eternal – he exists simultaneously in time, past, present and future. Your personal Lord and Saviour is already in your tomorrow preparing your life’s track and meeting your needs.

So, you can absolutely put your trust in him. If you continue to acknowledge God in every aspect of your life and seek first his purposes then all you will ever need for life and living will be added to you. Be confident of this, the Lord will never abandon you. He will work out his plans for your life, for his faithful love endures forever.

God-tracking is confidently trusting God.

It’s only by the steady infilling of the Holy Spirit that you and I will maintain a good oil supply for our lamps.”

Matthew 25:3
Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them

The cabin had no electricity so Joe lit an oil lamp and placed it on a wooden table. The glow of its warm
light filled the room. Joe sat back in a cushioned chair and enjoyed its comfort. However, what Joe did not realise was how quickly the oil would burn. Soon the glow of the lamp dwindled and dark shadows crept in from every corner. Oblivious to the dwindling oil supply, Joe allowed the lamp to continue burning. Soon the room was enveloped in darkness. Striking a match, Joe examined his lamp only to find that, not only had the oil been consumed, but the wick had also burned out. With no fuel supply, the flame had consumed the wick.  

How is your fuel supply? Is your fuel tank full or running dry? Beware burnout! The world we live in is relentless. Demands coming from every side and labour intensifying will soon burn you out. Burnout is a serious and overwhelming issue in this pacy twenty-first-century world, within the church and outside its confines. There are two major forms of burnout: physical burnout and emotional burnout. Both will strip you bear. Unless you maintain a steady oil supply for your lamp, your wick will soon burn out.

There is an old gospel chorus that goes, “Give me oil in my lamp, keeping burning, burning, burning.” The Holy Spirit is likened to oil in Scripture. It’s only by the steady infilling of the Holy Spirit that you and I will maintain a good oil supply for our lamps. So come to Jesus when the burdens of life overwhelm you. Yoke up with him under that heavy load. Cast your cares on him because he cares for you. If you rely on your power and might you will burn out.

God-tracking is avoiding burnout.

So, don’t give up, look up & pray!

“Thank you that you are by my side, helping me stay burning.”

“Dear Lord, I’ve allowed my wick to burn without fuel. Forgive me for not drawing on your source of power and might. Holy Spirit, fill me again; fuel my wick with your oil. I pray for healing of burnout in soul and mind. I cast my cares upon you, O Lord, in the name of Jesus. I come to you now and take up your yoke because your yoke is easy and your burden is light. Thank you that you are by my side, helping me stay burning. Amen.”
