The Lord's Baseball Game

THE LORD'S BASEBALL GAME

Freddy 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 named '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 he never swings at what Satan throws.

The bases were now loaded. The Lord then turned to

Freddy and told him He was now going to bring in His

star player. Up to the plate stepped Grace.

Freddy 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;

the roaring crowds went wild as the ball continued

over the fence...

The Lord's team won!

The Lord then asked Freddy if he knew why Love, Faith

and Godly Wisdom could get on base but couldn't win

the game.

Freddy answered that he didn't 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:

'For by Grace are you saved, it is a gift of God; not
of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

Psalm 84:11, "For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing
will He withhold from those who walk uprightly."

Jesus' Test

This is an easy test; you score 100 or zero. It's
your choice.

If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions.

Jesus said, "Whosoever therefore shall confess me
before men, him will I confess also before my Father
which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me
before men, him will I also deny before my Father
which is in heaven." Matthew 10:32-33

Not ashamed!! Pass this on, if you mean it. I do Love
God.

He is my source of existence and Savior. He keeps me
functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I am
nothing, but with him:

"I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13
