"Living in the will of God can be both daunting and exhilarating.
But how do I know that I am indeed in God's will? How do I know what God
expects of me and how do I know what pleases him?
"Questions like this highlight the need to know more about the Lord
God, his word and his character. But in order to know the answers to these
questions, we need to look for the purposes of God.
"Growing up in Africa, I was always fascinated by the Bushmen of Kalahari
who were expert trackers. I loved watching documentaries abut how they
would set out to track down a Kudu with no more than a skin filled with
water for their journey and a bow and arrow for the hunt.
"They would walk for days tracking this beautiful buck, looking for
signs along the way that would reveal the direction of the animal. Bushmen
are expert trackers and would finally track down their trophy and take
home food for a family feast.
"The Bible tells us that God knows the plans he has for us, which
is most encouraging. However, the reality of it is HE knows the plans but
WE don't!Just like these bushmen of southern Africa, you and I need to become expert
trackers, tracking down these plans of God by watching for the signs of
his move along the paths of life. We've got to listen for sounds of his
voice; we've got to watch for his hand in our circumstances; we've got
to acknowledge God in all we do and trust that he will direct us to our
prize - his guidance, blessing and purposes.
"This website is dedicated to the growing community of people who
have a hunger for more of God and to know his purposes for their lives.
God-trackers, like you and me!"
