Water Hole

Hey Heart To Heart, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for supporting our videos. We appreciate it.
Are you a golfer? Ever played golf? It can be challenging, but it is a fun challenge. I started playing when I was a little girl with my grandfather, who played 18 holes of golf every day of his retirement. He loved the game, He loved the challenge. Like the game of golf, life is a challenge we grow through through every single day. Sometimes there are obstacles in life and there are troubles in life. What did Jesus say to us? Well… He did not candy coat it… He said: You are going to have troubles in this world, but I have overcome the world. What does that mean?

Well, I think about golf, I have a weakness… I can’t drive over water… it gets in my head and even though I have a really good golf drive, I can’t do it when there is water!! That is what happens to us in life, we get into our head, we overthink things, we don’t lean into the truth and we end up swimming in the drink. God is with us, He never leaves us, He gave us an Advocate, someone who can navigate us over water holes, yet we try to do it on our own, we get into our own head, we try to be the fixer and we fail. We have to fix our eyes on Jesus, because He is the overcomer, He has already won! When I try to drive over a water hole, it gets into my head and I drive right into the water, but if I focus on the ball, forget about the challenge of water, just swing, keep my head down, eyes on the ball… I can drive over water.

As a golfer, water holes are not my favorite, the ones where you have to drive over water, but they are good for me because they demand a greater focus and I realize, I am up for the challenge. In life, we are so up for the challenges and the purposes of God are flowing in them, if we focus on Jesus, realizing that His purposes are in play and even if the challenge is great, His purposes are greater, than we can do more than we ever hoped for or imagined…. We can drive over water and land on the green, and we can get a part on that hole. Awe-GOD!
