GOD-TRACKING IS STAYING ALOFT BY MOVING FORWARD IN FAITH
by Dudley Anderson GodTracker 663 2 February 2018 Joshua 1:3 I remember being awestruck when learning about the force of lift at school. It blew my mind to discover how just air could lift a 450-ton Boeing 747 off the ground. Because of its shape, a moving aircraft wing creates a higher air pressure below than above, resulting in the aeroplane being drawn upward by the low pressure above its wing. This force is called lift. However, the key to lift being effective on an aeroplane’s wing involves another law of physics – motion. For a fully laden 747 to become airborne, it’ is required to reach a speed of 180 mph (or 300 km/h). And then the craft must remain in motion with air flowing over its wings, to maintain lift and stay in the air. If a plane slows down, it will lose lift and begin to fall. In Hebrews 12 we read that we ought to run with endurance the race that is set before us. Just as a plane needs to continue in motion to maintain lift, so a runner needs to continue in motion to complete his race. A productive Christian life requires motion. Tracking God’s good plans and purposes requires you and me to keep moving. Joshua was commanded by God to possess the promised land. God said to Joshua, “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you.” This would not have been possible if old Josh and his army remained put, They needed to advance with confidence. God desires to bless the work of your hands very much. He desires to fulfil your dreams and meet your needs. He’ll give you every place your foot shall tread, as you acknowledge God in all your ways. He has plans for you; plans that will prosper you and fill your future with hope. All things in the life of a true God Tracker, work together for his or her good. To remain above your circumstances, you need to maintain lift. To maintain lift you need to keep moving. So, step out in faith today and move forward in God’s perfect plan for you. God-tracking is staying aloft by moving forward in faith DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY I pray for the stamina and tenacity to keep moving forward “Dear Lord, I’m sorry for slowing down and coming to a standstill in my Christian walk. Forgive me for not running this race with perseverance. I desire to develop lift in my life by moving forward. Thank you for the amazing plans you have stored up for me. Help me not to stop dead but to keep moving forward in your plans, by faith. I commit my future to you; I commit my relationships to you and my work to you. I pray for the stamina and tenacity to keep moving forward. In Jesus’ name. Amen.” If you want more prayer, please email me, [email protected] ---------------------------- Listen to podcasts by Dudley Anderson at… Become an SRM MINISTRY PARTNER at… Born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa Dudley Anderson began writing for radio in 1994.
