We trust Jesus when it’s his plan for us to stop today. And we trust Jesus when it’s his plan to guide our steps for tomorrow.

Like most people, I often find myself longing back to those so-called, good ‘ol days. At my age, I have enjoyed not too few wonderful opportunities to share the Good News. I have had the great privilege of broadcasting God’s word on radio for the best part of 30 years. I have led small groups and large groups. I have enjoyed decades of music ministry as a worship leader and have had the honour of pastoring a church for 15 years. All these past years of great ministry privilege have been most fruitful. However, as I write, I tend to find myself reminiscing the good old days, without contemplating the good new days that God might still have ahead for me. Can you relate to this scenario?
Evangelist and Bible teacher, J. John said, “Jesus guides our steps and guides our stops.” We often rejoice when new and prosperous opportunities open for us on this path of life. Unfortunately, when these opportunities eventually come to a close, we mope about longing for how things were. Scripture makes it plain; God knows the plans he has for us. His plans are always good and thriving, filled with purpose. In Proverbs, we read that if we acknowledge God in all our ways, then he will direct our life track.
Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Now, faith is the confidence in things we hope for. We cannot hope for what we already have or what we have previously had. Hope is futuristic. Therefore, we hope that God’s plans and purposes will work out for us today as they have done so in our past. Consequently, we trust Jesus when it’s his plan for us to stop today and we trust Jesus when it’s his plan to guide our steps for tomorrow.
God-tracking is walking in his steps and stops.
