Letter from Larry

Wednesday

October 20, 2021

Good morning Everyone:

With baseball season nearly over now, today's story is about God's

baseball game with Satan's team. Think about it all day today as

you along life's highway.

The Lord's Home Run

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 starplayer. 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 

there was no way he could lose, Satan wound up and fired his first

pitch. To the shock of everyone, Grace hit the ball harder than 

anyone had ever seen! However, 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 for a home run!

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

"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." Psalm 84:11

*****

May God Bless and keep you and don't forget that GOD

LOVES YOU and is WITH YOU ALWAYS!

Larry
