THE
LORD'S BASEBALL GAME
Bob was caught up in the spirit where he 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 9th 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 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, because Godly Wisdom does not swing at Satan's pitches. Ball one.
Three more pitches and Godly Wisdom walked, because Godly Wisdom never swings
at Satan's throws. The bases were loaded.
The Lord then turned to Bob and told him He was now going to bring in His star
player. Up to the plate stepped Grace.
Bob said he sure did not 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, the Prince of the air, 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 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.”
