GOD-TRACKING IS ALLOWING GOD TO ORCHESTRATE THE SCORE OF YOUR LIFE

Dear God-tracker
God-tracking is allowing God to orchestrate the score of your life
Arranging music involves orchestrating. Dr David Brinkman in his article, How to Orchestrate and Arrange Music writes: “Creating an effective arrangement of music is a craft and it is an art… The artistry is the ability to imagine sounds and to make them come alive.” He teaches his students to consider how a musical piece, which might have been originally written many years previously by the composer, could be changed by their arrangement to reflect their own personal expression of the score. Orchestral arrangement involves utilising an array of wind, string and percussion instruments organised in a way as to appropriately interpret the composer’s meaning of the piece. Arranging an orchestral performance of a single score of Beethoven, for instance, generally requires an orchestra of about 40 instruments. Dr Brinkman points out that arranging music like this involves creating something new from something old.  
I have discovered that, as I track God’s plans for my life, he composes new stories for me to play out upon the strings of my daily living. However, there are also many times that I might find I’ve made a wrong choice or I’m thrust into a situation that seems to be beyond my control. Sometimes, I find myself confronted with a circumstance where it’s obvious that God was not the original composer. Yet, if I continue to acknowledge the Lord in all my ways, my Father will work on every composition of my life (even the ones that he did not compose) turning out new variations and orchestrating every nuance of my every circumstance by his sublime power to suite his plan for me. And in this I take courage. 
Perhaps you’re reading this today thinking, I’m at one of those points in my life, now. Perhaps you look around you today and wonder how you got yourself into such a mess. Well, if that’s you, then repent of any wrongdoing and turn you face back to Jesus, your Conductor. Surrender your circumstances to the great Orchestrator of your life and allow his artistry to imagine new sounds and to combine all the instruments of your life to make them come alive. The Bible says that all things – even those not composed by God – will work together for your good if you faithfully keep your eyes on Jesus and acknowledge God in all your ways. Only your Lord can create something new from something old and turn it into a masterpiece.

…make something new out of something old and turn into a masterpiece for your glory
Pray:
“Dear Father, I admit that there have been times when I have failed to acknowledge you in my decisions and have allowed things to get out of control. Also, there are times when it seems that circumstances occur in my life that are beyond my control. Dear Lord, I realise that only you can correct my wrong choices and fix all my negative situations. Only you can take the often chaotic score of my life and turn it into a beautiful symphony concert. So, I confess that I acknowledge you today in every area of my life – my relationships, my career, my church, my recreation – and I seek for you to arrange and orchestrate my life according to you plans for me. Dear Lord, make something new out of something old and turn into a masterpiece for your glory. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS GAZING INTENTLY AT YOUR REFLECTION IN MIRROR OF REALITY

Dear God-tracker 

God-tracking is gazing intently at your reflection in Mirror of Reality 

It’s the weirdest experience to enter a hall of mirrors at the funfair. Everywhere you look there are various images of you. One minute you see yourself as a big-headed alien the next as a skinny matchstick and then as a wide beamed squat blob. Turning left and right, there you are again as a zigzag ribbon on one side and a multiple retreating being of infinity on the other. A real belly of laughs is the hall of mirrors. All reflections of you but are they true? 

The funfair hall of mirrors is obviously designed to present distorted images of the viewer for entertainment purposes. However, there is another hall of mirrors that is less obvious yet it too presents myriad images of you; images that are equally false yet far more convincing. I am, of course, talking about the images reflected by the media and social conformity that confront us at every turn in the funfair of real life. Gazing into that big electronic mirror on your TV stand or into the smaller electronic mirror you now hold in your hand will reveal reflections of you from one minute as a high class executive with money bulging in your pockets, to the next as a slim popular life-of-the-party figure. The media mirror reveals images of what the world wants you to look like and it will do all in its power to have you conform to those images. 

But there is another mirror that I would like to talk about. I call it the Mirror of Reality. The Mirror of Reality will reveal your true image to you. The Mirror of Reality will reflect the very nature of what you actually look like and how God sees you. It will show the most minute blemishes in your countenance as well as the glorious radiance of your splendour as a new creation, through Christ. I am, of course, talking about the Bible; God’s Word. 

The Bible reveals not only your inadequacy in attaining God’s righteousness but it also reflects back to you the perfect beauty of God’s righteousness attained only through Christ. The Bible mirrors Christ as the flawless image of the invisible God and you as seated with Christ in heavenly places. The Bible displays the true image of the fact that God loved you before you ever loved him and how His love was demonstrated at Calvary. Gazing in to the Word of God will reflect back to you, without distortion, His perfect principles, purposes and precedents for Christian living. Looking into the Bible is just like looking into a mirror. But just as it’s of no use looking into a mirror and then going away and forgetting what you look like, so looking into the Mirror of Reality requires going away and doing exactly what it says. The Bible is the undistorted hall of mirrors of your real life.

God-tracking is gazing intently at your reflection in mirror of reality.

Help me to not be affected by what I reflect on in the media but to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and my nose in the Bible
Pray:
“Dear God, thank you for the Bible! Thank you that it contains Your Word and the Your Word is a light to my path. Help me to read and reflect more upon Your Word, the Bible. Help me to gaze intently into its pages and then to go away and do what it says. I pledge today to strive to live by every word I read that offers me principle, purpose and precedent for living. I ask you, Holy Spirit, to open God’s Word to me and to activate it in my life. Help me to not be affected by what I reflect on in the media but to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and my nose in the Bible. For Your glory. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS WAITING PATIENTLY FOR YOUR TIME TO COME

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS WAITING PATIENTLY FOR YOUR TIME TO COME

“I think it’s time,” said Jo clutching at her pregnant abdomen. Her waters had broken 30 minutes ago and the contractions had intensified. Josh dashed about collecting her toothbrush and the last-minute goodies for her stay in hospital. Bundling her and the overnight bag into the car he made off for the maternity home. Jo was about to give birth; her time had come!

Many first time parents wait impatiently for the arrival of that first new-born. Those 9-months from those first words, “I’m pregnant,” to the first breath of that firstborn seemed to me to be the longest months of my life. And yet, God knew all along when that moment would come. In his foreknowledge He knew the precise second when that little person would take her first gulp of earth’s air. The parents (especially mom) chomp at the bit waiting – craving – for that moment to come but that first breath is planned by God.

Perhaps you’ve become impatient waiting for God to work out his purposes in your life. It could be that you are anticipating a move or a change of some sort and have become weary in waiting. Like the birth of a baby, the moment of new life is in no human hands; it’s in God’s hands. If you continue to acknowledge the Lord God in all your plans and seek first his goodness then He will open that door at exactly the right time, and you will be wildly blessed! A baby will not be born normally until its body is ready. Likewise, the good event you are hoping for will not be birthed until you are ready. God knows all about you, even your future, and he knows when you will be ready to make that move. So trust in Him today to open that door in in His time. Don’t be weary in well doing, in due season you will reap what He has promised! God’s word will not return to him without accomplishing the purposes He intended in your life.

God-tracking is waiting patiently for your time to come.

Every blessing

Dudley

Pray:

I realise now that your ways are higher than my ways and our timing is perfect, according to your ways of dealing in my life. I put my faith in your promises, O God, and I rest in your perfect timing for the changes taking place in my life. I believe that my first breath was in your hands as will be my final breath and every puff in-between! Thank you for your purposes for me and thank you that you will orchestrate every moment of my every movement according to your knowledge of my life as I continue to acknowledge you in all my ways. Praise you for your faithfulness, O Lord. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS WRESTLING WITH GOD IN SEASON AND OUT OF SEASON

Dear God-tracker 

God-tracking is wrestling with God in season and out of season

Jacob paused and sat down on a rock. His hip was aching with every step he took. What a night it had been. After leaving his family and animals on the other side of the stream he had settled back down for the night. As he say there he thought about how, as the last ambers were flickering in the fire, suddenly he was awakened by a man standing at his side. He’d jumped up and tried to wrestle the man to the ground, but the man was too strong. They had wrestled all through the rest of the night until dawn smudged the eastern horizon with its light.
“Let me go,” the man had said. “Not until you bless me, “replied Jacob.”
“What is your name,” asked the man?
“Jacob.”
“From now on you will be called, Israel, because you have struggled with God!”

As Jacob sat pondering the night’s events on that rock he realised that this man was more than just an intruder in his camp. He had wrestled with The Angel of the Lord - with God himself - and was left with a sign to prove it. His hip ached intensely.

Jacob had experienced a life of seasonal changes. When he succeeded in swindling his twin brother, Esau out of his birth right and inheritance he’d thought he was onto a good thing but soon found himself fleeing his brother to a distant land. There he fell in love with the girl of his dreams. But instead of a season of love, Jacob found himself slogging it out for 14 seasons of hard labour in order to earn the hand of Rachel in marriage. During this time Jacob had become very rich but soon was to receive word that Esau was tracking him down. He stood to lose all his wealth and perhaps even his own life at the hand of his brother. Throughout his life Jacob had faced seasons of plenty and seasons of struggle and now he found himself alone, wrestling with God in one of those out-of-season moments of life. 

Jacob wrestled with God until he received the Lord’s blessing. God intervened in his reunion with Esau and spared his life. Jacob then progressed to become the father of the twelve tribes of Israel. However, he always walked with that limp… a sign to remind him to be ready to wrestle with God through every season of life.

Whatever season of life you find yourself in today only the Lord can be the source of your hope and future. He does have a plan for you but you may need to be ready to wrestle with God throughout every season of life. If you’re in a season of plenty then praise God and be sure to keep your eyes on Jesus, lest you fall into complacency. If you’re in a season of want then turn to the Lord your source and resource and never let him go. Paul instructed his prodigy, Timothy to be ready to preach God’s word in-season and out-of-season. Likewise, whether you’re feeling on the top of the world or down in the dumps in your Christian walk today, make sure you hold onto Jesus and wrestle with him through every season of change until he richly blesses you.
 
God-tracking is wrestling with God in season and out of season.

…every limp I have is a reminder of your hand upon my life 

Pray:
“Dear Lord I feel as though I have been wrestling all night with this problem. I don’t know what tomorrow holds but I do know that you’re there already, in my tomorrow, meeting my needs. I believe that you have a plan for my life, so today I want to put my trust in your plan commit this problem to you. Help me to keep my eyes on you and to wrestle with your word through all the in-seasons and the out-of-seasons of my days. As I look back on those trying times I realise that every limp I have is a reminder of your hand upon my life. You are my source and my resource. I will hold onto your promises, always. Amen.”
