How to follow the tracks and foundation made by God for your life.
Staying on track is very important, just ask any train engineer, as it is the tracks and paths that guide and lead us to where we need to go. Getting off track can have disastrous results and lead to many and many more problems than you might have had already. A derailed life is one full of chaos, pain, sufferings, and may issues that were completely preventable if we just had stayed focus on what we needed to do. In order to stay on track with our life to ensure that it is full of God’s promises while being fulfilling, we must stay on God’s path and track for our life. Yes, we may have issues here and there as things happen in our life for we are not promised an easy life but one of persecution and trials as we follow him. With these in mind though, he does promise us peace, joy, love, and guidance as we follow him on the tracks he has laid out in front of us.
Everything from what we think, say, and do determine what tracks we have stayed on or have veered on to through living our lives. God wants us to follow him on his tracks since his tracks lead us to a prosperous and fulfilling life with helping others and accomplishing the tasks for the Kingdom of Heaven. Thinking about things can veer us off course since the more we think about things the more we tend to do it or start acting in such a way. This can affect how we speak and then treat others in our lives, we cannot veer onto this track as it can have horrible consequences on our life and relationships. Staying on God’s tracks also determines where we might end going to in our future in order to follow his will for us; he might have you move somewhere to have a big impact or keep you where you are. We must keep pace with him while staying on his path of righteous for our lives, and since we are human, we will veer off from time to time. This is where having relationships with friends and family is extremely crucial to us getting back on God’s track.
God knows we will mess up and go off and get derailed for one reason or another, he is still faithful and he will be patient as you find your way back to his tracks. In order to do said thing, we need help from others in order too find his tracks again and get back on his rails and guidance. The smallest things can derail us from a small injury to being fired and much more, God is with us through it all and wants us to continue even when we don’t have the strength to. Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, laid the foundation and tracks for relationships and for a life with a family when he speaking to Pharisees. Divorce is not an option in God’s eyes as when you get married you become one flesh with your spouse as you leave your parents and become one with each other in all forms. Yet, so may people derail for one reason or another and divorce rates sky rocket as many people realize what they have done and then divorce each other breaking what God has made one. This is not the guide lines of marriage, as you marry you are supposed to be “glued” together not just physcially, biologically, but also socially, psychologically, and emotionally; you are to become one with your spouse.
Some people then also don’t marry for a numerous reasons and mainly because the tracks of their lives do not involve a spouse for them to have. These people, whether temporary or permanent, are able to focus strictly on God’s desires in their lives allowing them to stay on track more often than not. As we stay on track and follow the will of God for our lives, we will encounter people who have gone off track and derailed causing pain and suffering on themselves and possibly other relationships. We are called to help them get back on track and comfort them for what they are going through as one family in Christ. How we speak to them and what we do speaks wonders about our personality and ourselves as a person and who God is if it is someone who doesn’t yet believe. In order to stay on track, we must read, pray, and have faith in God knowing that he is in control, look up and do not look down at what your situation is.
In conclusion, to stay on God’s tracks is imperative to our lives and how we live the life that God has given us as a gift out of love. We do this by praying to him, and not just small prayers, but big, bold, and honest conversational prayers with him that express the inner most part of our heart. We are to confide in him like we would to some of our closest friends and family since he is a our Great Heavenly Father and cares for us more than anyone veer could. As him to guide you and lead your steps and you will be derailed as you move along you life, and when you see someone else derailed, help them find their way back to his tracks. Keep looking at him, pray, read, and have faith knowing that everything will be Okay, Amen!
