Yes I Can

Got a long putt? Feeling like you can’t make it? Never thought you would be in this position and need this putt to make a par? Your chip went long and now you are stuck with a long putt. Life Happens. So your mind starts evaluating and self talking… hmmmm… new course, never played it before, not sure of the variables that can occur, like the greens running fast or slow. Don’t have any experience to draw on. So we automatically think ourselves out of the putt by focusing on the negative. Too many variables, I can’t make it. Being unsure makes us think negatively about the putt and negative thinking will definitely be an over par shot.

We can learn a lot from golf. Life is like that too. So many variables, not sure if we can finish well because there are so many unknowns. Life happens, chips go long, we want to succeed but it just looks impossible. Yet, God knows we can do it. God meant for us to be right where we are. He has a plan. Because He would not put us in a position that He has not prepared us for. Look to Him.

It is frustrating that our life situations sometimes leaves us those really long putts. We need to remind ourselves that we are equipped by God, we can do it. We can finish this life season well. Shake off the doubt, look deep inside your inner spiritual core, acknowledge God, and say Yes, I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me. Set yourself up to putt by being positioned in the right place, positioned underneath the Rulership of God’s love, and standing firmly on the Promises of God.

You can also build up your confidence by rehearsing the past victories where You know God was with You, remembering those long putts that you did make, and thinking about the times how God empowered you and you did something you never thought you could do.

When we have a really long putt in this life, we shouldn’t talk ourselves out of making it with our negative thoughts. You look at it and you think in your head “no way” that putt is never going in. We forget that we are shaped by God to do what He brings us to. He knows what is ahead, and purposefully so, we are ready for a time such as this, and we can trust Him to navigate us. Yes, I can. I can do it. In Christ, by the power of His Holy Spirit, I am ready, I have been equipped, I know He is with me. Let’s Do It. Let’s make the par.
