Hitting Your Mark
We are heading out to play some disc golf this morning and I am already getting enthusiastic about it! I am looking forward to hearing some chains! That is the chains on the baskets, amen? You may not play disc golf. You may not even know what disc golf is. But you do know what it is to hit the mark. And placing the plastic disc in the basket is hitting the mark!
We all want to hit our mark, right? Are you hitting yours? You hitting your personal mark in weight control or physical fitness? You hitting that personal mark with your family or friend relationship? What about that professional mark at work?
Hitting the mark is a term heard in just about any area of our life. A baseball pitcher is trying to hit his mark by placing the baseball in the catcher’s glove. The basketball player is trying to hit his mark by placing the ball through the hoop. The quarterback is trying to hit his mark by placing the football in the hands of the receiver. Amen? This morning my mark is eighteen eluding baskets!
But, hitting your mark is also heard in the work place. We all have periodic evaluations, and no one wants to hear from their boss that they didn’t hit the mark, right? Just about any laborer can tell you what “mark” they are expected to hit on a daily, monthly and even yearly basis, amen?
The more that is at stake the more important the mark becomes, amen? If this morning’s game was with a group and there was a thousand-dollar purse, then hitting the mark every time would be more important, right?
Well then, the most important mark we can strive to achieve is that eternal mark of a higher calling with the Lord, amen? Yes indeed! We must press on and run the race daily to hit the mark, amen?
Philippians 3:14 KJV I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
I pray each one of you get a spiritual hole in one today! Have a blessed one my brothers and sisters in Christ.
