THE LORD'S BASEBALL GAME
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 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:
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 now 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 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 GodlyWisdom 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.
