GOD-TRACKING IS PATIENTLY WAITING FOR GOD TO CLEAR THE BOTTLENECKS OF LIFE
by Dudley Anderson GodTracker 648 06 October 2017 GOD-TRACKING IS PATIENTLY WAITING FOR GOD TO CLEAR THE BOTTLENECKS OF LIFE Psalm 47:7 Karen and I were trekking home after a tremendous few days at a Christian conference. We were driving southbound on a main motorway in the British West Midlands. Our side of the motorway was free flowing, thankfully, but as we drove on we noticed a large articulated truck that had pulled off the carriageway on the opposite side of the road. The large vehicle had endured a blowout and its crew were changing the wheel. Due the size of the vehicle and the hazard it presented to other road users, the police had cordoned off two lanes, resulting in all the upcoming traffic being directed into one lane past the broken-down truck. Consequently, the traffic had backed up for miles leading up to the bottleneck at the road incident. Still charged from the touch of the Holy Spirit at the conference, I had a flash of inspiration cross my mind. The Lord dropped a word into my heart: “This is where so many of my children find themselves these days, backed up at a bottleneck in life.” I know from my own walk along God’s track of life, that we, as 21st century Christians, become so involved and committed to myriad activities that, when we come across a little hiccup along the motorways of life, we become backed up and slow down like cars in a traffic jam. Consequently, we become stressed out, anxious and impatient. By our own reasoning we think we have everything under our control so when the unforeseen happens, we end up blaming others or God for messing up the free flow of our lives. But, God often uses the unforeseen little holdups in life to force us to stop and survey our journey. It’s when the unforeseen little holdups happen that we notice the scenery for the first time. And it’s often when the unforeseen little holdups happen that God begins to thin our lives out and teach a crucial lesson in patience and endurance. Our God is a patient God. God-tracking is patiently waiting for God to clear the bottlenecks of life READ ALL ABOUT IT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BECOME AN SRM MINISTRY PARTNER! DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY I give back to you all that you have given me. Dear Lord, do with my life what you would. “O Lord, I feel as though my life has come to grinding halt, because of this obstacle I face. Forgive me for being impatient in waiting for you to clear the way forward. I realise now that I may have been committed to too many activates, some of which were not in your plan for my life. Thin my life out, O Lord, and help me to walk patiently in faith that you will direct my every step, as I acknowledge you in all my ways. Amen.” If you want more prayer then email [email protected] ---------------------------- Listen to the Sixty-Second GodTracker radio spots at…
