Adaptability

Scene 1 - Tiger Woods is on the 17th green, and to no one's astonishment, he sinks a monster putt for a birdie. But suddenly he hears a sound behind him and turns to see his bag of clubs fall off the edge of the green into the water, where an alligator begins eating it!

Fade to black...

Scene 2 - Tiger Woods is on the 18th green, preparing to hit a monster drive with the only club he has left - a putter.

The announcer intones, "Ability - 25%; Adaptability - 75%."

Have you ever felt like you were truly on top of your game, only to have your golf bag fall into the water and be eaten by an alligator? Have you ever felt like God was expecting you to drive off the tee with a putter? Has life disappointed you, and you wonder why? At such times, God may be teaching you the importance of adaptability - the importance of letting Him work in your life in His way, and in His time.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Are you open to God's working in your life? However He chooses?
