Grace and baseball
They continued to watch as a batter whose name was Love stepped up
to the plate. 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."
