A poor golfer once spent an afternoon at a fancy country club, where he enjoyed the luxury of a complimentary caddy.

As usual, he played a terrible game. After it was over, he pointed to a lake on the course and said to the caddy, “I played so poorly today that I think I’m going to go drown myself in that lake.”

The caddy quickly replied, “I don’t think you can keep your head down that long!”

It’s easy to lose our focus, but when it comes to following Jesus, we can’t afford to be distracted. We need to concentrate on the task at hand—living for the Lord!

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”—Philippians 3:14.
