It’s an unusual and unique characteristic of golf etiquette to yell, “FORE!”, when you hit the ball in the direction of unsuspecting players on the course. No one knows for sure where the ball might go when struck and therefore a warning system is necessary, albeit not very effective. Most of the time, when you yell, “Fore”, the response from those in the line of flight look up to see the ball coming-not smart. You will not see the ball coming but you will feel the pain of the ball hitting your body…unfortunately because of a wrong response.
Similarly, there are a lot of people walking around this world in pain due to a wrong response. One reason for wrong responses is that no one gave them a warning that something was coming their way that was potentially harmful. Blindsided by the nuances of life, people get bonked in the head and lose their way from time to time…what to do?
The answer to this problem goes all the way back to the original design of man. We were designed and built with an early warning system, known as the Holy Spirit. Yes, the Spirit of Christ, expresses His presence within us by divine wisdom, knowledge, understanding and revelation. The sad truth is that so many Christians don’t fellowship with the Spirit within, therefore they walk blindly in life blaming others for their shortcomings and misgivings. They are actually out of position on the ‘golf course’ of life. Yes, they hear a faint sound, “fore”, in the distance, but to no avail-out of nowhere, here comes trouble.
Don’t live your life expecting something catastrophic to happen. First receive the gift of salvation and open your eyes to all the possibilities and the newness of life promised in this new lineage. Next, receive the Holy Spirit and optimize your life in Christ with the same Spirit that enabled Yahshua to do amazing acts on the earth. Don’t just read about the pros and their amazing exploits. Receive the presence and power of Christ and get equipped with the right response!
