I played golf yesterday with a few friends. It's amazing what a difference slight adjustments can make. It's also incredible how significantly a lack of focus can impact how straight the ball goes.
Several times yesterday, I found myself trying to hit the ball out of awkward situations. My ball landed on the edge of the treeline one time and I had branches hanging down all around me. The branches distracted me, and I just couldn't focus on hitting the ball. Guess what happened! I hardly hit the ball at all, and it rolled about 15 feet in front of me. At least I was out of the woods!
Life with Christ is a lot like the golf game I played yesterday. Making adjustments and focus are very important in our lives.
When I take my eyes off of Christ and get distracted by life's ups and downs, I can really miss the sweet spot God wants for me. If I'm in the midst of a trial, God may want me to make an adjustment. If I don't, guess what... It takes a little longer to get to where I want to go.
