Dear God-tracker

God-tracking is dwelling in his presence, always

The king sat alone in the tabernacle outer courts, praying. Whenever his enemies rose up against him and the responsibilities of governing his people with wisdom and grace took their toll, David would come down from Jerusalem to just sit quietly in the tabernacle and meditate upon the goodness of God. That day the king had commanded his guards to remain outside the tabernacle boundary and had requested that the priests leave him alone for a while, as he always did when he visited God’s dwelling. King David was not a priest so he was not permitted into the holy place but he sat down on the ground in the shade under the edge of the tent where he could smell the fragrances of myrrh, cinnamon, cane and cassia coming from within. David loved these moments. There, in the dust of the earth, he began tracing out the words, “One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life…”

King David was a great man. He was the only king of Israel who truly obeyed the decrees of the Lord until his dying day. David was no angel, mind you. He had much blood on his hands as a great warrior, and he’d committed murder and adultery. Yet David’s heart was pure and he was very quick to repent of is his sins. In fact, it is written of King David that he was the apple of God’s eye. Here we see David pursuing his greatest pleasure – to reside in the dwelling of God. In the midst of turmoil and violence; in the thick of conflict and war King David knew that the Lord’s presence was his source and resource. The presence of God – in prayer – was always the place of his security, hope and rejuvenation. 

Perhaps you find yourself in the thick of conflict or confusion today. Perhaps, when you look back over the past few months or years all you see is disappointment and failure. Well, if that’s you then don’t give up, look up! Make a conscious effort to rise and seek the dwelling of the Lord in prayer. David spent many a day in the tabernacle, still before God when his soul was downcast. The dwelling of the Lord is a place of fragrant peace. Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” And the dwelling place of God is in your heart. If you know Christ as Lord and Saviour then your body has become the very temple of the Lord God Almighty! So rest in him today wherever you are and he will hide you in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal you under the cover of his tent.

God-tracking is dwelling in his presence, always.

Stay blessed

Help me to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life
Pray:“Father God, I admit that I am feeling a bit spiritually destitute at the moment. I confess that I have not spent enough time in your presence, in prayer. I know that I can never leave your omnipresence but today I choose to seek your dwelling presence! I want to rest in the shadow of your tent; in the fragrance of your company. I choose to cease my struggle with daily issues and rather be still before you. I shut off the clatter of noise that the world thrusts at me and rest in the peace that only Jesus gives. Help me to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK, EVEN WHEN IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT

Dear God-tracker

God-tracking is turning the other cheek, even when it’s not your fault

Ed sat on his small bed in the small studio flat he’d moved to more than a year ago. His heart was heavy – very heavy. Joanne had kicked him out of the home after a massive blow-up. This conflict was years in the making. Finally she had snapped and sent him packing. He remembered the good times they’d had and how much he really did love her, but she never really understood him. He’d suffered so much verbal abuse and was determined to sit this one out until she saw the truth and came grovelling to his door. “That was one slap too, many,” he grumbled under his breath as he gazed out the only window into the blank wall outside. “I refuse to buckle to her whims any more… but how I miss her!”

Jesus lived in a culture thwart with self-righteous hypocrites. Most people, including his disciples, were intent on seeking their own ends in their relationship with him. James and John wanted to be the greatest in his kingdom whereas the Pharisees, who opposed him, were intent on promoting their own smug agendas. Any wonder that Jesus taught, “Whoever would be great among you must be your servant,” and “To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also,” and “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” These were alien words to a community who was hoping for a champion to rise up against their vicious Roman landlords. These were biting words to men consumed with their own self-importance and cozy lifestyles.

As the minutes past, Ed’s mind wondered back to the last sermon he’d heard Pastor Jim preach before he stopped attending church. “When someone insults you or accuses you of being in the wrong when you’re actually in the right,” Jim had said, “then turn the other cheek and take the slap. The truth will out, always!” In reality, Ed was on the side of the truth, well… mostly. Why should he buckle to her agenda? Then all of a sudden Ed realized that he had no need to defend himself. The truth will out! It always does. And God watches over the truth because Jesus is the Truth. Therefore all he needed to do was to continue to walk in the truth. “Turn the other cheek, eh?” he mused. “I know this is gonna hurt – like the other cheek did – but hey, what have I got to lose?” Ed dialed her number. “Hi Jo, I’m sorry…”

God-tracking is turning the other cheek, even when it’s not your fault

Pray:“Dear Lord I realise that I have been a fool trying to defend my cause. If I am indeed, walking in the truth then you will vindicate me. However, if I’m not walking in the truth then I’m to blame for the conflict in my life. Forgive me if this is so and help me to side with the truth, even to my humiliation. But Lord, I realise that the truth stands sure, always. Therefore, I will not retaliate in this conflict; rather I turn the other cheek! Help me to do to others as I would have them do to me – even to my enemies. Help me to not try to pick a speck of dust out of my brother’s eye when there’s a log in my own. Dear Lord, I choose to walk in the opposite spirit in humility, truth and forgiveness. In Jesus’s name. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS PRAISING GOD TODAY FOR MEETING YOUR NEEDS TOMORROW

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS PRAISING GOD TODAY FOR MEETING YOUR NEEDS TOMORROW

“O Lord, I don’t know what more to do,” prayed my wife, Karen. “We’ve been looking for a new house to let for weeks and found nothing, and we need to move out of this house in only a few days’ time.” She looked down again into the pages of the Bible and read, “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened.” Karen just happened to be reading from the book of Acts that night. “That’s what we need, Lord,” she said. “I praise you tonight for a miracle to provide us with a new home!”

My family and I had been living in the UK for only 6 months when the owner of the house we were living in announced that she was selling. We immediately began our search for a new house to let but eventually weeks reduced to days and still no new home. Karen and I were under much anxiety and not a little desperate.

Having a fairly active metabolism, come midnight and I’m still awake I would become rather peckish. That night I made my way to the refrigerator for a snack. The moment I opened the fridge door its little light came on, shone across the lounge and out of our front window. As the Lord would have it, our neighbour who worked shifts, came home at that very moment and spotted its little ray coming from our kitchen. Tap, tap, tap! I was startled by the sound and looked up to see Debbie beckon to me to open the window. “I found you a house,” she whispered with a smile. “The landlord wants immediate occupation.” The very next day Karen and I viewed the lovely house and day later signed the letting agreement!

Just as Paul and Silas had praised God under adverse circumstances at midnight so Karen had praised God in our need at midnight. Just as Paul and Silas were miraculously freed from prison through prayer and praise so Karen and I were miraculously freed from anxiety and had our need met through prayer and praise. The same can be true for you today, dear God-tracker. Whatever need you face tomorrow believe that he is able to meet all your needs according to his glorious riches today, and then praise him for answered prayer. After all, Jesus said, “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.”

God-tracking is praising God today for meeting your needs tomorrow.

Lord bless

GOD-TRACKING IS REMAINING ON TRACK WITH GOD’S PLANS EVEN THROUGH LIFE’S DETOURS

trACker 547The e-Devotional helping to keep you on-track
Published through www.godtracker.co.uk

31 July 2015

Dear God-tracker

God-tracking is remaining on track with God’s plans even through life’s detours 

Welcome new subscribers to trACker!

Twelve years ago I began producing the e-mail devotional, trACker. trACker developed out of a weekly mailing of the content I used to produce a radio programme that I presented years back called, On Track. The programme was a 2-hour music show broadcast on Christian Voice International and heard by millions of people on shortwave, FM and the Internet. I was very honoured to be involved in this work and developed very many friends as a result, some of whom still subscribe to this mailing. Today trACker has become a weekly Christian e-devotional reaching many people via e-mail, blogs, a 60-second radio spot and a published book. If you have recently joined trACker then I say a hearty welcome! It’s wonderful to have your company and I hope that we will get to know each other well as we enjoy tracking God’s plans and purposes together.

The radio show, On Track came about as a result of an experience God once took me through. When I moved from South Africa to the United Kingdom with my family in 1996, the only opportunity I had was a potential job with a broadcasting company (which eventually turned out to be Christian Voice International). However, this job did not materialise until 15 months after we arrived on the shores of Great Britain. In this time I sought the Lord for anything to keep my family fed. One application I made produced a solid potential of an appointment but after several interviews I was turned down. In asking God why I went through the process – even with signs from him that I would be appointed – he said, “This whole course took place because you are simply on track with my plans for you.”

I have yet to understand why God sometimes takes us the long and often tough way round to track his will for our lives, but he does! What I do know is that he is sovereign and his ways are higher than our ways. The Bible tells us that God knows the plans he has for us. Scripture also says that if we acknowledge the Lord in all our ways then he will direct our paths. If those paths take us the long way round then only God knows how many lives we my touch in the process and how much our faith will grow as we learn to trust him. Anyway, all things work together for the good of those who acknowledge God. This whole process is what I call, God-tracking.

So whatever difficulties or hurts you may be enduring today, be encouraged to stay on track with God’s plans and his purposes for you. Provided you continue to acknowledge the Lord and trust his will for you, then you will always find yourself precisely where he wants you to be in life. Remember that he is your Invisible Champion and he will never leave you nor forsake you.

I confess that Jesus is my Lord and saviour and that he is the Invisible Champion by my side. I that good will come from this difficulty in my life and that you will bless others through my experiences. Help me to seek and track your plans and purposes, even through the detours of life. To your glory. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS RESTING IN GOD’S TRUTH WITHIN MORAL CONFLICT

trACker 546The e-Devotional helping to keep you on-track
Published through www.godtracker.co.uk

24 July 2015

Dear God-tracker

God-tracking is resting in God’s truth within moral conflict

I believe the time has come when we who believe in the scruples and the moral absolutes of God’s word – the Bible – will be attacked more and more for the ethics of our faith. I believe the era of true freedom of Christian belief has come to end, worldwide. In some countries like North Korea Christians are being severely persecuted for the faith even to the extent of execution. However, in the so-called Christianised West, true biblical Christianity is being persecuted far more subversively. Even under the guise of religious freedom, those who adhere to the indisputable absolutes of God’s word are being ridiculed, ostracised and, at worst, prosecuted for standing up for their principles. But we are encouraged by the words of Jesus when he said, “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, the world hates you.” And he said, “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

You may find yourself facing opposition for your beliefs in the principles, purposes and precedents of God’s word today (and that opposition may come from both within the Church and outside of its camp). Perhaps you’ve been accused of being dogmatic about a moral precept found in the Bible. It could be you’re facing a challenge to your belief in the fullness of the Holy Spirit’s outworking in your life. Or maybe you are simply being ridiculed for your flat-line approach to a moral issue at work, at home or even at church. If that’s you then let me encourage you to keep your heart pure with no hidden egotistic agenda on your part, and always walk in the truth! God will always vindicate the truth because Jesus is the Truth!

The Bible says that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the evil satanic forces behind the actions of men. In 1 Peter chapter 5 it says that our enemy – the devil – prowls around like a roaring lion seeking to devour us. However, note what the Spirit says through Peter in the verses before this. He says, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” Therefore, our fight is not with those people who attack us but with the spiritual forces behind these attacks. Therefore, we ought to simply and humbly cast our cares onto Jesus.

If you are under attack today for your Christian scruples or your unequivocal belief in God’s word then be strong in the strength of your Lord and know that he will vindicate you. Only stay true to the truth!

God-tracking is resting in God’s truth within moral conflict.

Shalom

Pray:“My Father God, I feel so abused today. It feels as though people are ganging up against me because of my belief in the principles of your word (even some so-called Christian people). Please forgive me if I have reacted in selfish ambition and please reveal to me every time I’m tempted to do so. Lord, I cry out to you to vindicate the truth and help me walk according to that truth. I pray for those who are bullying me that you will help them to come to terms with the truth. But I take my stand against the satanic forces behind this conflict in Jesus Christ’s name and rebuke the lies of the enemy! I put on your whole armour of God – truth, righteousness, faith, the Word of God, the blood of Jesus as my salvation upon my head and the word of my testimony upon my feet. Thank you for your peace within this conflict. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS REMAINING FIRM IN HIS FAITHFULNESS DESPITE SHIFTING SHADOWS

Published through www.godtracker.co.uk

17 July 2015

Dear God-tracker 

God-tracking is remaining firm in his faithfulness despite shifting shadows

I remember those hot summer days with nothing to do during school holidays when I was a child. By the time late afternoon came my friends and I would be so bored that we’d play a game seeing whose shadow reached the furthest. Living in the southern hemisphere near the tropics, the sun would shine almost directly overhead at midday and then quickly move to set in the west. As it did so our shadows would stretch and stretch until the shape on the ground was twice, three times as long as its vertical counterpart, and changing with every minute.

By the Holy Spirit James, the brother of Jesus, wrote, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” The light of the mighty sun shining upon the earth produces shadows cast by our bodies that change and shift with every passing minute but the great and mighty Father of heavenly lights casts no shifting shadow with his light. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. The Bible says that he is faithful and that his love endures forever. Father God is always consistent! His words never shift or vary. What he promises today he fulfils tomorrow.

Your heavenly Father loves you so much and his love endures every circumstance of your life. Wherever you find yourself in your Christian walk know that he will always be with you today and tomorrow. You can endure every trial and every affliction, because his love is your endurance. Events and conditions will change but the Lord’s call on your life will never move like shifting shadows. His gifts of love, protection, blessing, healing, purpose and provision will never fade. Your Lord is consistent and every promise he has made to you will endure the seasonal changes of your life. Therefore, hold fast to his word and remain faithful in fellowship with his Spirit.

GOD-TRACKING IS RESTING IN THE EFFECT OF GOD’S GRACE

Published through www.godtracker.co.uk   

10 July 2015   

Dear God-tracker 

God-tracking is resting in the effect of God’s grace  

The time was 8.30pm and well past Jonny’s bedtime so his mom bundled him in her arms and took him off to bed. Yawning, he prayed his prayers, kissed his mom and turned over to go to sleep. Ten minutes later Jonny’s mom heard a thump and a whimper upstairs. Returning to her son’s bedroom she found Jonny on the floor. “What happened?” asked mom. “I fell out of bed,” replied the 5-year old. Mom picked him up and tucked him in back under the covers and then went back downstairs. To her dismay, Jonny’s mom heard another thump and a whimper a few minutes later. Again she returned to find her son on the floor. “Why do you keep falling out of bed, Jonny?” asked mom. “I dunno,” he said. “Perhaps it’s because I sleep too close to the edge.”

All through life people strive to be good and help their fellow man. They work hard at being righteous in the hope that someday they may be lucky enough to go to heaven. However, true hope for eternal life only comes when we realise that our good works gain us nothing before God. Only through repentance of sin and faith in Christ, by his death and resurrection, can we experience God’s grace. By God’s grace we enter God’s rest. But sadly, some of us still try hard to work at salvation. It’s a bit like someone climbing into bed at the end of a long hard day but remaining too close to the edge. The result is that they keep falling out back into a life of self-effort or selfish gain.

 

Isn’t it funny how we all often sleep with one leg in the bed and the other hanging out on the floor? We think that by striving to be a good person or by placing confidence in our good works we can somehow attain a greater measure of God’s grace. But, and here’s the paradox, grace is effortless! Grace is God’s doing. There is nothing you and I could ever do to earn God’s favour. In fact, Grace is defined as God’s unlimited favour. By grace, God saves us – through Christ – and by grace God empowers us – by the Holy Spirit – to do his good works in us. Even Apostle Paul realised that he was useless without God’s grace. He once said that Jesus told him, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

If you desire to be more effective for God then don’t sleep near the edge of your bed. If you truly desire to succeed in your career, in your relationships and in you ministry then lift both feet off the world and fall back into the slumber of God’s workmanship. If you want to make an impact on those around you or wish to influence others for Christ then retire from selfish effort and rest assured in God’s grace.

God-tracking is resting in the effect of God’s grace.

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!

Look up and Fix Your Eyes on Jesus!

Only by resting in your grace can I ever be want you have planned me to be 

Pray:“My Lord I realise now that I have been sleeping too close to the edge of my life’s bed. I have accepted you as Lord and desire to serve you but I still find myself doing it under my own steam. Forgive me for selfish effort. Today I choose to pick both feet up and climb in deeply into the bed of your grace. Your grace has saved e and your grace has equipped me to serve you. So Lord, I seek your power by grace upon my career and my church work; upon my home life and my relationships. Only by resting in your grace can I ever be want you have planned me to be. Amen.”
