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."
