I want to get back to our readings in Matthew, but I can’t let this story about Scotty Sheffler, recent winner of the Master’s Golf Tournament slip away. In his post-tournament interview he said:

The reason why I play golf is I’m trying to glorify God and all that He’s done in my life. So for me, my identity isn’t a golf score. Like Meredith [his wife] told me this morning, “If you win this golf tournament today, if you lose this golf tournament by 10 shots, if you never win another golf tournament again,” she goes, “I’m still going to love you, you’re still going to be the same person, Jesus loves you and nothing changes.” All I’m trying to do is glorify God and that’s why I’m here and that’s why I’m in this position.

As I wrote on April 5, God has people everywhere.

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him…Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. (Colossians 3.17, 23, 24, ESV)
