Dear God Tracker

Walk Again with Him in the Cool of the Day

God-tracking involves tracking and remaining on-track with the plans that God has for our lives. The scripture tells us that he knows the plans he has for us; plans to prosper us and give us hope for the future. However, it is God who knows these plans – not us. Therefore we need to look for and track his plans as he reveals them to us day by day and moment by moment.

One of the plans that I have discovered that God has for us all is to fellowship with us. Jesus once said, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends,” (John 15:13). Then immediately went on to say, “You are my friends if you do what I command,” (John 15:14). This blows my mind: God promises to be my friend! There is a condition to this promise, however, and that is to do what he commands. Following our God’s plans most definitely requires filling our hearts and minds with his word and living by it.

In the Garden of Eden we see how God creates man in his own image. He made us perfect and good, as he is. We notice that man and God had a very deep relationship in the Garden. They walked together in the cool of the day. But God had issued Adam and Eve with a command to not eat of a certain tree, or they would die. Sadly, we read that the devil tempts them and they both fall by disobeying God’s word. At that dreadful moment sin and decay entered mankind and the world at large. Man had stepped out of fellowship with God.

Getting back to the words of Jesus, I notice that God still desires my friendship. In fact, it was by his own initiative that God drew me back into relationship with himself through Jesus when he died and rose again. God made him who had no sin, to be sin for me so that, in him, I might become God’s righteousness. In other words, because of Jesus’ sacrifice both you and I are once again reconciled to God’s perfect image so we can walk again with him in the cool of the day.

God-tracking is remaining true friends with God.

Bless ya

Dudley

Verse of the Week

Hebrews 4:11

Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.

Quote of the Week

A Sample of Dudley’s Fave Quotes.

“The question we must ask our heart is, "Am I comfortable under the eye of God? Or is God getting too close?" We are strange and lovely creatures. We can ache for God tremendously yet find ourselves getting nervous if God gets too close. After all, the closer God gets, the more we hear the call to be divinized. It is both exciting and frightening to hear that call.” --- MacRina Wiederkehr

 

Don’t Give-up, Look-up!

Look-up and Fix Your Eyes On Jesus!

I May Enjoy the Hope of Walking with You in the Cool of the Day

Colossians 1:22-23

But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation-- if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel.

Pray

“Oh my God and my king; my Father and my friend, thank you so much for reconciling me to yourself through Jesus. Thank you Jesus for your obedience in that you went to the cross for me. I am sorry for all my sin, O Lord, and welcome your word into my life. I choose now to live for you moment by moment and to seek your will for my life by your word. Help me to continue in my faith that I may enjoy the hope of walking with you in the cool of the day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

Dear God Tracker

God-Tracking Requires Step-By-Step Faith

Bev approached me after church one morning and asked for prayer for her future. She had recently finished school and was waiting on God for her next move. Was she to go to university or was she to get a job? “And what about marriage?” she asked me. “How will I know when the right guy comes along? I’m really confused and don’t know which way to turn.”

As I prayed for Bev I received a distinct picture in my mind from the Lord. I saw her standing at the start of a long winding path, except she could not see the path at all as it was covered in thick dust. Bev had no idea where the path was or which way it led. In my mind’s eye I saw her looking down at the ground immediately beneath her feet, where the path was visible. Just then I saw the dust blow away in a patch in front of her right foot in a way that exposed only a very small area. As the dust cleared I noticed a well paved spot of pathway, just large enough for one foot. In my vision I saw Bev lift her foot and step out onto the now clearly visible path. However, there was only room for one step until, through prayer and God-seeking, another patch of pathway was cleared so that she could take her next step. The process continued until I saw Bev walking confidently step by step along the path exposed by the breath of the Lord as she prayed and walked in faith. I shared this with Bev and immediately she knew what to do.

God-tracking requires step-by-step faith. The begging question is how long is my pathway? The answer: only God knows. Therefore, in order to successfully walk along the path of life we need to be willing to patiently take one step at a time, as the Lord himself clears the way in his time. Only God knows our beginning from our end. Only he has the foreknowledge of our destiny. Only by his foreknowledge does he choose us to serve him, and that according to his purposes. As I continue to acknowledge the Lord in all my ways he will make my paths straight. And this I do through prayer and God-seeking.

Gladly Bev received the word from the Lord I gave her that day and took her first step in faith. She latter shared with me that the initial spot on her pathway that was cleared by the Lord’s breath was for her to register at university for a nursing degree. I’m very happy to report today that Bev is happily married and, after successfully achieving her degree, she is serving the Lord through her career as a qualified nurse.

God-tracking is walking God’s pathway, step by step.

God bless

Dudley

I’m at Your Disposal

2 Corinthians 5:7

We live by faith, not by sight.

Pray

“My Lord I admit to you that I am confused. I still don’t know where to turn next. What is it you want me to do? I see opportunity but I’m unsure that it’s right for me. Therefore, I choose now to acknowledge you in this and every new opportunity that comes my way. I ask you to clear my pathway, step-by-step that I my know where to put my foot down. My confidence is in the fact that you know my every step and my every pathway. So I boldly step out and make the most of every opportunity by faith and not by sight. I’m at your disposal, Lord. Amen.

trACker number378 Fix Your Eyes on Jesus at the Cross and Trust Him to Author Your Life

Dear God Tracker

Fix Your Eyes on Jesus at the Cross and Trust Him to Author Your Life

One of the most heartrending and violent films I have ever watched is the Passion of The Christ by Mel Gibson. The film is a very graphic portrayal of the last few hours of Jesus’ life on earth including the crucifixion. As I watch this film I’m intensely impacted by the amount of blood that would have been lost by an individual suffering the brutal beatings and execution of the process of Roman crucifixion. And as I watch Jim Cavielzed portraying Jesus hanging on the cross during the last few minutes of his life I am again intensely impacted by both the humiliation and the evil of the cross.

The symbol of the cross of Christ is a grotesque symbol of a most macabre form of execution, and yet it is beautiful. The symbol of the cross of Christ is a symbol of violent, pride-filled injustice, and yet it demonstrates the justice of God. The symbol of the cross of Christ brings to mind gruesome and sadistic evil; an evil that exposes the heart of man as intensely sinful. And yet this act of crucifixion exhibits that Christ, though completely innocent of any crime, took all sin upon himself as he endured the cross. Do you want proof that Jesus bore our sins? Just look at the cross.

God sent his only son, Jesus, to take the result of our sins. In his humanity, Jesus of Nazareth was like any man – like you or me. He laughed, he cried, he slept, he ate and he could feel pain. The difference, however, is that in his deity, Jesus Christ was and is the Son of the living God. This is why he was sinless. Though, because he was human, he had every opportunity to sin, but did not. However, God deemed it necessary to inflict the evil of man’s sin upon him through the cross so that he would suffer death, which is the result of our sin. Jesus died as a proxy, an intercessor, as a substitute for you and me on that cross. Yet, as we read on the story of the Passion, we see that Jesus did not stay dead but came alive again. For me, that is the ultimate proof that Jesus was sinless; death could not keep him down! So if we believe in our hearts that Jesus died in this way and that God raised him from the dead and if we confess that he is God and Lord of our lives then we shall be saved from the results of sin, which is eternal death.

Tracking the plans and purposes of God for your life starts here. Do you desire the hope that your tomorrow is safe and secure? Then Come to the cross. Look at it! See the Suffering Servant of God and open your heart to his plans and purpose for you. If being a God-tracker means being on-track with God’s purposes then fix your eyes on Jesus at the cross and trust him to author your life.

God-tracking begins at the cross.

Get on-track

Dudley

Jesus, I Give My Life to You

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Pray

“Dear God, I am impacted by the cross! I realise that you sent Jesus as Christ to take the results of my own sin on the cross. I am sorry for all that I have done that is sinful and bad. Dear God, I repent of this and all sin that I have been born into in this world. I admit and confess that I can’t be right with you except for the cross of Jesus. I confess that I believe Jesus died in this way for me and took my sins on the cross. I confess that I believe that he was raised to life again and defeated sin, Satan and death. Thank you God for the cross. Today I ask Jesus into my life and I confess him as my God and my Lord. Jesus, I give my life to you. Amen.”

If you prayed this prayer for the first time and meant it with all your heart

I would love to hear about it.
