“Continue to acknowledge the Lord in all you do, look to Jesus and keep tracking what God wants for you.”

Isaiah 42:9
Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; Before they spring forth, I tell you of them.

“I want what God wants for me.” As I read Lyndie’s post I was reminded of one of my life verses from the Bible: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” The truth of that statement is, it is, indeed, God who knows the plans he has for me but I don’t. God knows what he wants for me. Therefore, I need to obediently look for and track God’s plans without relying on my own ideas and strategies in life. And that is what God-tracking is all about.

Sometimes, God’s plans may lead us on a successful and prosperous path for many years. If we acknowledge God in all our ways, he will open the doors to productive work. I always say grace is God’s doing, and by his grace, he will equip us well with talents and skills to do the work he has called us to do. So, let’s do it well with all our might as unto him. However, there may be times when the Lord says, “Good job, my son but the job is done. Now it’s time to move on to new things.”

I have been active in an area of ministry for more than 40 years. Thankfully, it’s been very productive and anointed. I have seen many people grow in their understanding and experience of God in this area of Christian living. However, the Lord, according to the plans he knows he has for me, has recently said, “the former things have come to pass.” By this, I sensed the Lord telling me to lay down this aspect of ministry, after all these years in obedience to his leading. Now, by his grace, the Lord has opened a new door for me and I look forward to new blessings.

Perhaps you face a similar situation today. My encouragement to you is to continue to acknowledge the Lord in all you do, look to Jesus, and always seek to track what God wants for you.

“Dear God, I want what you want for me.”

“Dear Lord, I praise and thank you for all the years you have used me in this work. I surrender the results of my productivity to your glory. But I have heard you call me to lay it down for the new plans you know you have for me. Help me to let it go, O Lord, and help me grab hold of all that you have for me. Dear God, I want what you want for me. Amen.”

“You may feel like you’re losing the fight with two rounds to go, but don’t throw in the towel. Fight the good fight.”

John 15:13
The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

“Ding!” The bell rang. Joe slumped onto the stool his trainer thrust into his corner as he came to the end of a bloody round 10. He could feel his nose was broken; he had a gaping tear above his left eye. Every bone and muscle in his body ached with intensity. Joe was losing on points, he knew it. “Joe, mate, you can do this!” said his trainer, Mike patching his wounds. “Just get in there and use your left. He drops his right when he gets tired. You can win, mate, hang in there, I’m with you!”

Boxing is a gruelling sport. We often watch a match thinking the fighter is out there on his own, but he’s not. He is part of a team. His trainer is in his corner, watching his every move. He is wise and caring. He knows the sport. He is aware of the opposition’s tactics. He understands the fight, after all, his been there himself, in the thick of the fray. Mike is Joe’s guide. Mike is Joe’s encourager and his help. With Mike in his corner, Joe will win the fight.

You have Someone in your corner. As you battle it out in the ring you can be sure he is watching, listening and loving you. Dear Holy Spirit is with you and he will remind you of everything you will need to overcome. He observes your troubles and your grief; he knows your enemy’s tactics. He is your refuge and strength, an abundantly available help in times of trouble.

You may feel like you’re losing the fight with two rounds to go, but don’t throw in the towel. Fight the good fight. Don’t allow confusion to cloud your reasoning. Don’t drop your guard. In Christ, you are more than a conqueror. You have the mind of Christ. Your Helper and Comforter is on your team, by your side each step of the way. So, hang in there, he is with you!

“You face a choice today: to love or leave. Only by the grace of the One who loved you and gave his life for your life can you make that choice. So, above the lure to take the easy way out, I say you today, choose love.

John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

John was confronted by the greatest decision of his life. He had recently changed the focus of his career but, unfortunately, his new business was failing. His income had all but dried up. He was depressed and despaired. John was married with 2 young children and though his wife was doing what she could to keep the family afloat, their finances were thread bear. John and Pam drifted apart and they fought almost every day. John thought that if he could only walk away and start over, he would be happy. He used to love his wife when things were good but now… John faced a choice: to love or leave.

Jesus had just eaten a hearty meal for Passover and taken a walk up the Mount of Olives with his friends to pray. It was late. The eastern horizon was shifting to gentle mauve hew. Jesus knew that in a short while, he would be arrested, convicted and sentenced to death by crucifixion. His friends had fallen asleep against the trees. He loved these guys and Jesus knew that Father loved the whole world. After all, he had said these words in his teaching: “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son,” and this love would be demonstrated by the event which was about to take place. He could have woken his disciples and led them back to town to go to bed. Jesus faced a choice: to love or leave.

Love is a choice. The butterflies and sparkles may have faded. The one you chose to say, “I do,” to, may not boast the same physique they had when you walked down the aisle. He or she may irritate you more than a thorn in the flesh. Your life circumstances may have changed and, as you face difficulties and trials at every turn, you may desire to simply walk away. You face a choice today: to love or leave. Only by the grace of the One who loved you and gave his life for your life can you make that choice. So, above the lure to take the easy way out, I say you today, choose love.

God-tracking is a choice to love.

“Dear God, forgive me for becoming self-consumed. I admit things are tough at the moment but circumstances are no excuse to stop loving the one you have given me to love. Forgive me for falling out of love. I know that real love is not romance. Real love is a choice to remain true, caring and devoted to my love. Above the lure to take the easy way out, I choose to love today, through thick and thin, in good times and bad, through sickness and in health, until death. Thank you for your love for me even when I become unlovable. Help me to follow your example of love. Amen.”

“It’s confusing when we make a life decision only to find things don’t work out according to the purposes we had in mind. However, these adverse circumstances might simply be preparation for the task God has in mind for you.”

Psalm 37:23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.

A university student was seen with a large "K" printed on his T- shirt. When someone asked him what the "K" stood for, he said, "Confused." The questioner replied, "But you don't spell confused with a K." The student answered, "Now you know how confused I am!"

You smile, but the truth is, we often trek the campus of life confused about the purposes of God. The circumstances you might find yourself in today might not be where you’d hoped to be yesterday. It’s confusing when we make a life decision only to find that things don’t work out according to the purposes we had in mind. However, these adverse circumstances might simply be preparation for the task God has in mind for you.

If you remain faithful to the call of God and always acknowledge him in all your plans, the time will come when you’ll look back and realise how God has directed your steps. We can become frustrated when things go awry but God often uses difficulty and seeming failure in our lives to return us to his original designer purpose. When we look at our current situation rather than looking beyond tomorrow, believing that the Lord is on the job, we can become confused. Nevertheless, if we acknowledge God, all things will work out for our good and according to his plans.

Remember, God’s ways are higher than our ways. Trust his plans without relying on you own reasoning. Indeed, the steps of a Christ follower are ordered by the Lord.

God-tracking is trusting God’s plans even when you’re confused.

Grace Keeps You in the Will of God

“Indeed, the will of God will not place you where the grace of God cannot keep you. Remaining in the will of God may seem gruelling at times but his grace will suffice.”

2 Corinthians 12:9
And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

"The will of God will not place you where the grace of God cannot keep you," said Derek Prince as I watched him on television. Indeed, as I always say, grace is God’s doing. The grace of God was demonstrated when he sent his Son, Jesus, to stand proxy for us for the wages of sin. God’s grace is demonstrated every day in us as he empowers us to labour abundantly. It is plain, the will of God is revealed in the grace of God. It was his will that Jesus died for our sins and it is his will that we follow his plans to serve him. His grace keeps us within the confines of his will.

Dwelling in the will of God is always a place of security and peace. However, dwelling in the will of God is seldom a comfortable place to live. Ask any missionary serving God in the field. Ask Apostle Peter or Apostle Paul. Better yet, Ask Jesus Christ. Jesus, confronted by the will of God in Gethsemane, prayed, “Abba, everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

Elisabeth Elliot said, “The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end, it's going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.” In Gethsemane, Jesus faced crucifixion. Facing the will of God was torturous for Jesus. Yet, we read that he looked beyond the crucifixion and perceived the joy of the resurrection, the accession and being seated at the right hand of God in glory. Grace is God’s doing and the God’s grace enabled Jesus to follow the will of God through the cross and on to victory.

Indeed, the will of God will not place you where the grace of God cannot keep you. Remaining in the will of God may seem gruelling at times but his grace will suffice. So, fix your gaze on Jesus, the author of your faith, and remain true to the will of God.

God-tracking is following the will of God empowered by grace.
