YE GOTTA TAKE THE ROUGH WITH THE SMOOTH

Tonight I went for a long walk over our village golf course,not that I have any interest in golf at all,but it passes an evening in beautiful surroundings.I remarked how velvety smooth the areas of green were,in comparison to the rough places and how they seemed to just merge into one another.I couldn't help thinking that life's a bit like that.We simply move from a period of calm and serenity into having to deal with a trauma of some sort,don't we?It's hard for the golfer to find the ball when it enters the rough,you have to look carefully and yet,it's plain to be seen when it rolls onto the smooth green.We can praise God easily when things are going our way and yet,when the hard times come,if we search deeply for Him,we'll find He's been there all the time,waiting for us to put our trust in Him.
"Come near to God and He will come near to you". James 4 v 8.
