GOD-TRACKING IS TAKING HEART BECAUSE YOU KNOW GOD IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL
by Dudley Anderson GodTracker 752 John 16:33 Jesus had returned home after visiting the Gadarenes where he had driven many demons out of a man into a herd of pigs. No sooner had he climbed out of the boat when he was approached by some people carrying a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Take heart, my son,” and promptly forgave the man’s sins and healed him completely. On another occasion, while a large crowd pressed in around him, a woman who had been suffering from a bleed for 12 years touched his cloak in faith that she would be healed. Jesus turned to her and said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” She was instantly healed. On still another occasion, Jesus came walking to his disciples on the water of the sea of Galilee as they strained their oars against a raging storm. They were terrified at the sight of him walking on water. So, Jesus called out to them, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” I read in the Bible that God is eternal. That is, he is infinite; he exists simultaneously in the past, the present and the future. We read this in Revelation where it says that God was and is and is to come. Notice the conjunction “and”. The phrase implies that God was and is and is to come. That is, he is all 3 conditions at the same time. And we know that God is all-powerful, all-knowing and ever-present. Therefore, whatever you and I face today, our God knows all about it and has the present power to meet our needs. Nothing is beyond the scope of God. Nothing is external to the control of God. And he exists already in the future, where our needs are met. So, whatever your disappointments of yesterday; whatever your fears of tomorrow or your needs today, take heart, Jesus will get you through. God-tracking is taking heart because you know God is always in control
SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY I place my faith squarely in your omnipotent power to heal the sick, deliver our communities, restore our economy and bring good out of every disaster “O Father God, I praise you for your love and care for me. You are with me always, in every circumstance of life. You are with me through global crises like Covid-19 and you are with me in personal intimate difficulties. I believe that nothing is external to your influence. Therefore, I place my faith squarely in your omnipotent power to heal the sick, deliver our communities, restore our economy and bring good out of every disaster. I believe you are already on the other side of my tomorrow. So, I take heart that, in you, I will overcome. Amen.” If you felt the healing power of God on you just now, I’d love to hear from you.
