Rhythm and Tempo

I did something last week that I have never done before.  I went on a golf retreat to Myrtle Beach.  It was with a church in Raleigh with a group of 20 men.  What a blessing to have 20 men together for a time of worship and fellowship.  We played a round of golf each day and then had a Bible Study.  The group leader, Matt, used the game of golf as an illustration of our walk with Christ.  The one thing that sunk in most was the rhythm and tempo of the game.  Most of the problems we have with our golf game is due to a lack of rhythm and/ or tempo.  The same is true in our Christian walk, when our rhythm and tempo get out of whack; we begin to struggle in our Christian walk.  How do we keep in rhythm, we stay in the word and keep the communication lines open through prayer.   Just as our golf score will reveal our rhythm or lack thereof, our daily walk will show our rhythm or lack thereof with our relationship with God.  When we are in rhythm with God, we will have his peace even during the difficult days.
