IF YOUR FAITH IS OFF
by Neil Anderson
2 Corinthians 5:7

We walk by faith, not by sight

When my son Karl was about eight years old, I introduced him to the game
of golf. I gave him a little starter set of clubs and took him out to
the course with me. Karl would tee up his ball and whale away at it with
his mightiest swing. Usually he sprayed the ball all over the place. But
since he could only hit it 60 or 70 yards at best, his direction could
be off by 20 degrees and his ball would still be in the fairway.

As he grew up and got a bigger set of clubs, Karl was able to drive the
ball off the tee 150 yards and farther. But if his drive was still 20
degrees off target, his ball no longer stayed in the fairway; it usually
went into the rough. Accuracy is even more important for golfers who can
blast a golf ball 200 to 250 yards off the tee. The same 20-degree
deviation which allowed little Karl's short drive to remain in the
fairway will send a longer drive soaring out of bounds.

This simple illustration pictures an important aspect of the life of
faith: Your Christian walk is the direct result of what you believe
about God and yourself. If your faith is off, your walk will be off. If
your walk is off, you can be sure it's because your faith is off. As a
new Christian, you needed some time to learn how to "hit the ball
straight" in your belief system. You could be off 20 degrees in what you
believed and still be on the fairway because you were still growing and
had a lot to learn. But the longer you persist in a faulty belief
system, the less fulfilling and productive your daily walk of faith will
be. As you grow older you will find yourself stumbling through the rough
or out of bounds spiritually if the course you have set for your life
doesn't agree with Scripture.

For many adults, a mid-life crisis is the result of basing their concept
of success and fulfillment on the world instead of on the Word of God.
Tragically, many of our children and teenagers are heading for the same
fall because their beliefs are not founded on Scripture. As a result,
their lives are often bankrupt before they leave high school.

Prayer:

Lord, Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Teach me
Your truth today that I may walk in it.
