Dear God Tracker

The Cause of Acknowledging God Has the Effect of Discovering His Plans for My Life

Causality is a term that describes the relationship between an event and its consequence, or second event. In other words it’s the results of an action, decision or confession. For example, the causality of eating too many sweets as a child is bad teeth as an adult. Some philosophies and religions use causality to describe karma or fate. But as a Christian, my causality does not depend on fate but upon faith resulting in the plans and purposes of God in my life.

The word of God tells us to acknowledge the Lord in all we do. This means that we should recognise our Father’s hand upon everything in our lives from career choice and relationships to my daily to-do list. We acknowledge God through prayer and confession. That is, when we commit every second of every day and every iota of every decision to him in prayer and then go about telling others that we have done so. When we acknowledge the Lord in all our ways we recognise his knowledge of who we are and submit our plans to his foreknowledge of our lives. The result of doing this is God will direct our paths (check out Proverbs 3:6). And after acknowledging the Lord in all we do we walk in faith – not fate – in his purposes without leaning on our own understanding. The cause of acknowledging God has the effect of discovering his plans for my life.   

God-tracking is walking by God’s cause and effect.

Every blessing

It Is You Who Determines My Steps

Proverbs 16:9
In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

Pray
“Dear Father, I’m sorry for making my plans without recognising your hand in my life. I choose now to acknowledge you in each and every area of my life – my relationships, my career, my church life, my hobbies, my TV watching, the books I read and even in my daily to-do lists. I give you every plan I have for the future. I pray that you will direct the course of my life, day by day. I employ a Godly causality by giving you the causes in my life and trusting you to produce your effects upon me and my loved ones. I know I can trust your foreknowledge and therefore, lean not on my understanding but walk in faith that you will direct every outcome of every decision I make. Lord, I confess that it is you who determines my steps. Amen.”

Dear God Tracker

Pray With Your Eyes on Jesus and Not Your Problem

My blood ran cold as my wife relayed the message to me that she’d just received from my daughter-in-law. Our newborn grandson had been rushed to hospital with a temperature in excess of 39 degrees Celsius. Little Ruben had taken our lives by storm; I wasn’t going to sit back and allow the devil to take his life from him. Karen and I rushed to the hospital and, together with my son and his wife, we laid hands on his little body. At that moment I just knew he would be alright. However, the next day when we arrived to visit him, we found his parents outside the ward, in tears. Little Ruben had deteriorated and stopped breathing. Medics resuscitated him and sent him to intensive care. Yet, with hundreds of people praying for him around the world, I just knew he would be alright.

After only 24 hours in ICU he was discharged back to his ward. Several tests were done but the doctors found nothing wrong with baby Ruben! A few of days later he was home. By God’s grace and comfort, the family had pressed in and taken God at his word: “…they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well,” (Matt 16:18).

Oswald Chambers once said, “We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.” Could be you’re facing a crisis right now, as my family did last week. Let me encourage you to pray and hear from God. God’s word is jam-packed with promise and hope. Receive his word and walk in the hope it offers. You see, the Lord is already on the other side of your difficulty making way for you to get there. No matter what the devil throws at you; no matter how circumstances may bend in the process, know that your God is faithful and he is quick to deliver you. So pray with your eyes on Jesus and not your problem.

God-tracking is getting through to the other side.

Every blessing

Dudley

Thank You for Answering My Call

Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Pray
“Dear Lord I just feel as though I can’t go on any more. It seems as though this problem has consumed me. But dear Lord I know that you know what I’m going through. Help me to hold on to your promises and the hope your words offer me. Help me to track your path until I eventually get to the other side of my worries. I surrender my anxieties to you right now! Lord forgive me for my doubts. I thank you that you will meet my need and help me get over this mountain. I fix my eyes on Jesus and not my problem by presenting my prayer to you with thanksgiving, O God. Thank you for answering my call. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

Dear God Tracker

Wake up! Strengthen What Remains

With bloodied sweat on his brow, Jesus made his way the few paces back to his friends who he’d ask to join him in prayer in the olive grove. He’d been travailing before the Father for an hour. It was well past midnight and he knew that he would soon be arrested, tried, convicted and crucified for crimes he’d never committed. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

Peter and his two friends had sat down a stone’s throw away from Jesus and watched him pray. They knew that something auspicious was about to take place but fatigue had overtaken them. Sadly they could not keep their eyes open at this late hour, leaving Jesus to face the cup of God, alone.

Many years later, the risen and ascended Jesus appeared to one of these three in a vision on the Isle of Patmos. Before he revealed to John what would come at the end of all time, Jesus gave John instructions to the churches of Asia Minor. To the church in Sardis he said, “Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God.”

As we track God’s purposes we often become blasé about his commands and instructions. We become so familiar with prayer, worship and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit that we fall asleep in our complacency. The danger of this is that we miss the blessings of God and open ourselves to the arrest of the enemy. Let’s open ourselves rather to God’s word. And God’s word to us today is to “Wake up! Strengthen what remains.”

God-tracking is staying alert.

Blessings

Dudley

My Salvation Is Nearer Than I Think

Romans 13:11
The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

Pray
“Dear God, I am sorry for my slumber. I apologise and repent of becoming complacent about your things like worship, prayer and fellowship. You have saved me by the blood of Jesus and I have been taking this for granted. I am sorry, O Lord. I stir myself awake now. I rouse myself to enjoy every moment with you as though it was the moment I first asked Jesus into my life. Help me to celebrate every living moment in the freshness of the hope that you will meet my needs and lead me in my daily walk. I believe that you are coming soon, Lord Jesus, and my salvation is nearer than I think. Praise God. Amen.”
