“The Lord's message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia--your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it” – 1 Thessalonians 1:8
Gerry Lester "Bubba" Watson Jr. is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour. Bubba is a two-time Masters Golf Tournament winner, but he has said that being a great golfer is not his most important purpose.
"I want to be Christlike as possible," he said. "I'll never be perfect. I'm always going to mess up. My whole goal is to be the role model for my son. ... I want to be the role model, the guy he looks up to and tries to emulate or be better than."
Behind the colorful character is someone who loves the Lord. After Bubba won the Master’s at Augusta for the first time in 2012, he declared, “I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
His walk with Christ started when he was 19 when a neighbor invited him to church. Later in 2004 he got baptized with his new wife, Angie, and renewed his faith. Bubba’s objective is “getting more in the Word and realizing that golf is just an avenue for Jesus to use me to reach as many people as I can.”
Trust in the Lord in all you do, and let others know where your trust lies. Today in prayer, place your faith in Jesus knowing that you are in the best of hands.
“Everyone knows how to have faith. We do it all the time in countless ways. When I get in a car and turn the ignition key I have faith that my car will start. When I pick up a ball point pen and press it down on a sheet of paper, I'm exercising faith in the ability of that pen to write. When I sit down to eat and put my wife's cooking into my mouth I am exercising faith that my wife hasn't poisoned the food. Day by day, in countless ways we exercise faith in the people or things around us. Likewise, when Jesus asks us to have faith in him he is only asking us to do what is natural for us to do.” – Bill Gordon
God’s Word: “See, he is puffed up; his desires are not upright-- but the righteous will live by his faith” – Habakkuk 2:4
