The Lord's Baseball Team
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 are 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
crashing on the ground; then it continued over the fence for a home
run!
The Lord's team won. The Lord them 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."
God's grace is truly sufficient!
