The Lord's 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 1st pitch and hit a

single, because Love never fails.

 

The next batter was named 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 are loaded. The Lord then turns to Bob

and told him He was now going to bring in His star player. Up to bat

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 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 to 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 only thing Satan cannot steal. "
