Today is a
dose of inspiration to carry you through the weekend.
Baseball
Bob and the
Lord stood by to observe a baseball game. The Lord’s team was playing Satan’s
team. The Lord’s team was at bat. The score was tied zero to zero, and it was
the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs. They continued to watch as a
batter stepped up to the plate whose name was Love. Love swung at the first
pitch and hit a single, because Love never fails.
The next
batter was Faith, who also got a single because Faith works with Love. The next
batter up was named Godly Wisdom. Satan wound up and threw the first pitch.
Godly wisdom looked it over and let it pass: Ball one. Three more pitches and
Godly Wisdom walked, because Godly Wisdom never swings at what Satan throws.
The bases
were loaded. The Lord then turned to Bob and told him He was going to bring in
His star player. Up to the plate stepped Grace. Bob said, “He sure doesn’t look
like much!” Satan’s whole team relaxed when they saw Grace.
Thinking he
had won the game, Satan wound up and fired his first pitch. To the shock of
everyone, Grace had hit the ball harder than anyone had ever seen. But Satan
was not worried; his center fielder let very few get by. He went up for the
ball, but it went right through his glove, hit him on the head, and sent him
crashing on the ground; then it continued over the fence for a home run.
The Lord’s
team won. The Lord then asked Bob if he knew why Love, Faith and Godly Wisdom
could get on base, but could not win the game. Bob answered that he did not
know why. The Lord explained, “If your love, faith and wisdom had won the game,
you would think you had done it by yourself. Love, Faith and Wisdom will get
you on base…but only my Grace can get you home. My Grace is the one thing Satan
cannot steal.
