Psalm 139:15: My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret.
In his book on near-death experiences, Imagine Heaven, John Burke writes, “He alone knows who he created you to be. He alone knows what a successful life uniquely means for you, not compared to others but compared to what he had in his mind before he created anything! I believe the reason people having NDEs say, ‘I feel like I’d been here before,’ or ‘I feel like I already existed,’ is because they did exist in the mind of God, eternally.” 1 The scripture makes it clear that you and I were already in the mind of God before we were conceived. God is omniscient, that is, he knows everything about everything. God is also eternal, which means that he encompasses space and time. Therefore, there is nothing about anything that God does not know, past present or future. He knew your name before the creation of the world. And God knows every nuance of your life, past, present and future. This is great news because it means that you, and I, can rest assured that the circumstances of our lives are wrapped up in his knowing. And if he knows all about you then you can be sure that your life will work out according to the plans he knows he has for you.
The only thing that could distort God’s plan for your life is your own choices. The one auspicious privilege that God has given mankind is free will. So today, make it your choice to follow God’s plans for your life by acknowledging him in all your ways. Scripture assures us that if we acknowledge God in our walk of life then our life’s track will line up with his eternal knowledge of us. Acknowledge God by receiving Christ as Lord and acknowledge God by renewing your mind daily through his holy word. Do this and you will track his will for your life.
You are one of a kind. God has a unique purpose for you. He is acquainted with all your ways. So, pray with the psalmist, “Search me, O God, and know my heart. And lead me in the way everlasting.”
God-tracking is knowing he is acquainted with all your ways.
Read all about it. Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you.
Psalm 139:13-16 Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) Proverbs 3:5-6 Romans 12:2 Don’t give up, look up and pray.
“Thank you, O Lord, that you search me and known me. You are acquainted with all my ways.”
“Dear eternal God, I acknowledge Jesus as my Lord and savour and I acknowledge that you have knowledge of my whole life. I believe, because you encompass space and time, you already knew me before I was conceived. So, dear Lord, I commit all my life to you. I choose to acknowledge you in all my ways and trust that you will direct my life according to the plans you know you have for me. Thank you, O Lord, that you search me and known me. You are acquainted with all my ways. Amen.” — Born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa Dudley Anderson began writing for radio in 1994.
