Sweet Spot Pondering

There is definitely something to be said about being in the sweet spot. Don't know what the sweet spot means...here you go. Sweet spot is a golf term that talks about a spot on the golf club where if you hit it right flush in that spot the ball will travel further with less effort. The ball just flies off the clubface.

In life I think this principle applies just as much. I do believe there is a spot where if we live right in that spot we will go further, do more, while it costs us less and uses less energy. It is possible. But where is it?

There is no uniform sweet spot for all of us. We each have a different sweet spot. I want to live there. I want to dwell there. I want to never get far from there.

The great thing about the newest and latest drivers is with every new round of them the sweet spot gets bigger and bigger. In the same way the longer we walk intimately with the Lord the greater the size of the sweet spot for our lives.

With God the sweet spot is less about trying and more about showing up. So show up.
