Hurry - Hurry - Hurry

Have you ever had those emotional “crash and burn” kind of situations?? Always a precursor of emotional exhaustion is three words: Hurry - Hurry - Hurry! We are so busy and harried people. We need to slow down, listen to God, hear His Voice and follow after Him, with His strength, not our own.
Golf is like that too… I am a golfer, not very good because I don’t play as much as others do. I take at least one or two times a week to slow down my life and get out on the golf course. Golf always feeds my soul and slows me down on my life course, which does seem like a busy, fast paced life.

Sometimes we put way too much on our plate. We are doing a little bit of everything and some of it is God directed, but some of it is not. Keeping up with an over-scheduled life makes us feel the “harried” feeling in our soul, like we just can’t keep up and we are exhausted… and if we continue on this course, we do crash and burn emotionally and it is not pretty… not pretty at all. We can avoid this! Stop! Listen up to God and stay in followship of Him. Be led by God’s peace. Take off all the unnecessary things off your life plate, reorder your schedule according to God’s direction.

Just like in golf when we are in a hurry and we are hurrying up our swing, the ball doesn’t go in the right direction, or sometimes it doesn’t go at all… it piddles right off the tee.. embarrassing right!!??!! In golf when we hurry the ball is not going to make it to the hole in that “par like” fashion. We have to take our time, set up our shot and the approach to the ball is so important, if we jam ourselves up, the ball is not going to go very far. When we have a fast swing because we are in a hurry, the ball is going to go to places we don’t want to be chasing it.

This happens in life too, where we hurrying and we aren’t set up, we aren’t ready and we don’t finish well. When we take the time with God, we listen up and we get the direction from Him for our day, we thrive, we finish the day well. The same goes with golf, when we slow down, we focus and we don’t hurry our swing, we do well. Less is more when it comes to being a person who finishes strong, less on our plate, more focus, more finishing well.

What is the hurry? Slow down and finish strong! God bless ya!
