It is difficult to play on a golf course that you are not familiar with. I can be extremely difficult when you do not know where the green is, and even more frustrating when you shoot at the wrong one.
No this didn't happen to me, but to someone I was playing with recently. It makes me think about my own life and those lifes that I have been placed in charge of to watch over and lead. If I have no familiarity with my people, and if I do not know who I am ministering to, then I can misfire and completely miss the target.
More than that, if I, in my own life, do not follow God's word and that "narrow road" that Jesus teaches about, then I will completely miss the target and when that happens, well, I sin and step out of God's will. There are many more important lessons that a person can learn from the game of golf, but this lesson is important.
Aim at the right target! --> God's Word
Try as hard as you can to par every whole! --> Be obedient
Try even harder to make a birdie! --> Invest your gifts that God has given you
When you bogie, move on and don't dwell on it! --> Confess your sin, and be forgiven.
God bless.
