I spent 20 of the first 26 years of my life playing golf. Although I failed in my attempt to become a member of the PGA Tour, I learned many things about life while playing on the Tommy Armour Tour and participating in the 1995 Canadian Qualifying School. However, one of the most important lessons I discovered was about alignment. You can do everything right, but if your alignment is off by just a fraction of an inch, you will miss your target.
The same principle can be applied to God. You can be living right and following the 10 commandments daily, but not see any fruit or success. Once you allow sin to block your connection with God, Hebrews 12:1, it won’t be long until you are slip, sliding away. If you are feeling just a little off, remember God’s words in Isaiah 1:18-20. Practicing this passage will realign your life back where it needs to be.
The apostle Paul talks about alignment in his letter to the church in Rome. According to Paul, alignment begins with clothing yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 13:14. Distractions come in the form of letting your mind wander on your sinful nature. Therefore, put into practice Colossians 3:1-10 so that you will stay properly aligned with God.
