When we were out golfing on Tuesday, Zachary's ball went in the sand. He was very excited because he saw it as a big sand box. My advice of how to get out was quite simple. I said, "Look only at the ball, hit only the ball and aim toward the pin." Surprisingly, he could easily hit the ball right out. In fact, he liked is so much, he actually dropped his ball in a couple other sand traps just for fun. The secret - don't focus on the sand, focus on the ball and the pin.
That's not a bad lesson for life. If you are in a "trap", don't let the trap become your focus. Instead focus on the little ball (the plan of Jesus for your life) and aim toward the pin (the future that Jesus has for you.) And then give it a good swing. You may find it so fun that you welcome the next trap to come along. Well, maybe not. :-)
Very timely lesson...thanks for sharing! Zachary seems to be quite the little golfer. We look forward to seeing him golf in person some day!
ReplyDeleteHey buddy,
ReplyDeletethanks for your teachings !
I like that.
This is very true.
Sometimes in life, I feel small matters troubling me. Then I forget what the Heavenly Father has already done.
But I know, the Lord loves us and will never let us stuck in the sand.
