"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'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 stop."
