Dear God Tracker

Wake up! Strengthen What Remains

With bloodied sweat on his brow, Jesus made his way the few paces back to his friends who he'd ask to join him in prayer in the olive grove. He'd been travailing before the Father for an hour. It was well past midnight and he knew that he would soon be arrested, tried, convicted and crucified for crimes he'd never committed. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

Peter and his two friends had sat down a stone's throw away from Jesus and watched him pray. They knew that something auspicious was about to take place but fatigue had overtaken them. Sadly they could not keep their eyes open at this late hour, leaving Jesus to face the cup of God, alone.

Many years later, the risen and ascended Jesus appeared to one of these three in a vision on the Isle of Patmos. Before he revealed to John what would come at the end of all time, Jesus gave John instructions to the churches of Asia Minor. To the church in Sardis he said, "Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God."

As we track God's purposes we often become blas about his commands and instructions. We become so familiar with prayer, worship and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit that we fall asleep in our complacency. The danger of this is that we miss the blessings of God and open ourselves to the arrest of the enemy. Let's open ourselves rather to God's word. And God's word to us today is to "Wake up! Strengthen what remains."

God-tracking is staying alert.

Blessings

Dudley

Verse of the Week

Ephesians 5:13-14
But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."


Quote of the Week
A Sample of Dudley's Fave Quotes.

"And the longer you delay, the more your sin gets strength and rooting. If you cannot bend a twig, how will you be able to bend it when it is a tree?" --- Richard Baxter


Don't Give-up, Look-up!
Look-up and Fix Your Eyes On Jesus!

My Salvation Is Nearer Than I Think

Romans 13:11
The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

Pray
"Dear God, I am sorry for my slumber. I apologise and repent of becoming complacent about your things like worship, prayer and fellowship. You have saved me by the blood of Jesus and I have been taking this for granted. I am sorry, O Lord. I stir myself awake now. I rouse myself to enjoy every moment with you as though it was the moment I first asked Jesus into my life. Help me to celebrate every living moment in the freshness of the hope that you will meet my needs and lead me in my daily walk. I believe that you are coming soon, Lord Jesus, and my salvation is nearer than I think. Praise God. Amen."
