Was walking my Loki. He came home panting. I said, "You see, you are so tired because you keep resisting me. I pull you one way, and you always pull the other way. That's why you are so tired." Wah... all at once I had a revelation.
Some months back, we had a guest pastor. He told us this story:
"I was watching Tiger Woods on sports TV. He was about to putt a ball. He surveyed the ground for a long while before he picked up a grass and held it up against the wind to test the wind direction. Then he went back to survey the ground. And back to test the wind direction. I was just about to dose off when Tiger woods finally putt the ball. AND it was in the WRONG direction!!! I was amazed. The ball was rolling the other way, away from the hole! Then all of the sudden, the ball started to turn and head back in the right direction before it finally dropped into the hole. I realised that Tiger woods was surveying the terrane and he found that it was a little uphill, so he had to putt the ball in the opposite direction. But we as viewers could not see the uphill slope. so, we assumed that he was just wasting his time. I heard God telling me, "Son, do you think I can putt better than Tiger woods?" This was when I realised that sometimes in life, when you seem to be going the wrong direction, and far away from your goals, God is actually leading closer to his ultimate goal for you. You are just like that golf ball."
Perhaps it is the same revelation that I got from walking my dog. I wanted to walk him one round around the estate before we went home. I allowed him to stop at some of his stops but I always diverted him in the right direction. Nevertheless, he kept resisting and resisting. The more he resisted the more i pulled him, the more tired the poor boy became.
Maybe in life, it is important to just go with God's plan for us. And not always resist what's coming in our way. Think I am like that golf ball or Loki. Spent too much energy resisting. Maybe its time to just let go and go with the flow of God.
