Golfing with God

That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. 2Ti1.13-14 NKJV

I should think that whatever God has entrusted to us is precious and to be guarded. What better way to do this but by the Holy Spirit. Truthfully I would think that everything we do should be done by Him, that is in step with Him. I think the apostle is referring to Timothy’s ministry but each of us share some common endowments. Time, talent, possessions are resources given to us all. By keeping in step with the Spirit we insure fruitfulness in all things. Even my game of golf with family and friends can carry me deeper into life’s purpose, which of course is to glorify God by enjoying Him in all things. All in all, life is to be lived inside out, that is from soul to body. Golf is a great game for teaching and experiencing this. The game can be either pure joy or pure misery and it is your inner life that determines which it will be. This is true regardless of the score or if you just duffed your ball into the woods. God has given us the Holy Spirit to help us with our inner life. Golf is played one stroke at a time. Life is played one step at a time. Keep in step with the Holy Spirit and life will be joy and peace. 9/4/07 ts
