Dear God Tracker

Underneath are Everlasting Arms

A good friend of mine once said, “If God orders a Pizza then he will pay for it.” You smile. I did. Could you imagine the eternal God picking up the phone and calling Dominoes? “One pepperoni with extra olives please. The address? Er... the pearly Gates, Heaven.” Unless the delivery guy is a sold-out-believer I’m not sure he’d find that address on his sat nav. However, the truth of my friend’s statement is that if God has called you to something or opened a door for you in your career, family or church relationship he will deliver the goods. Our God is faithful and his love endures forever.

God Tracker, wherever you find yourself today, if you have acknowledged God and sought his will in all your ways then he has directed your path; you are where he wants you to be. It may seem as though you’re unqualified or that you’re in the deep-end without a lifejacket but the truth is that’s exactly where God wants you to be. Ask any of the disciples what it’s like to be in over their head, or better yet, ask Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. They’ll tell you that it’s when you’ve lost the earth beneath your feet that it’s then that you discover, underneath are everlasting arms.

Whatever it is you’re going through right now, know this that nothing is too difficult for you and Jesus to get through. So never give-up on God’s plan for your life. Never take your eyes off of Jesus and look at your circumstances or your difficulties. Rather fix your gaze on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith who, for the joy set before him, looked through the cross and scorned its shame (Hebrews 12:2 paraphrased). And never think you can’t do what it is he has given you to do. If God has put you there, he will come through for you. Our God never, never abandons the work of his hands.

God-tracking is never giving up.

Blessings

Dudley

I Take Heart and Fix My Gaze on Jesus

John 16:33

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

Pray

“Dear Father God, am sorry for taking my eyes off of your purposes and looking at my own inadequacies. I realise that it is only by your power and by your Spirit in me that I can do anything, and I believe that it is you who has put me here. Help me to face my new trials with confidence that you will come through for me. Help me to rest in your anointing to do my daily job and to move forward in my relationships. Jesus, you said that we would have trouble in this world – and God, I’m in trouble – but that you have overcome anything that could be thrown at me. So I take heart and fix my gaze on Jesus. Thank you for your peace, now. Amen.”

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

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

“Live ready.  If you have to get ready when the opportunity comes your way, you are too late.  Opportunity does not wait, not even when you pray.  You must not have to get ready; you must live ready.” --- Smith Wigglesworth

 

Don’t Give-up, Look-up!

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.
