The Holy Spirit revealed to me that life can be liked to a baseball game. The devil is the pitcher and the saints are up to bat. The mission of the devil is to strike us out. Life will throw you curve balls. We must remember that when we stand in the battery's box of life, we must adjust to hit the curves, the change-ups, the fastballs, knuckleballs, sinkers, and the sliders that the enemy throws.
Like baseball, the game of life is about strategy, and there is only one STRATEGIST that we should listen to. Sometimes, we are going to strike out, but nothing beats a strike out, than a swing! We'll never know unless we face the warefare of the pitches. We learn more from our strike outs than our hits. Pressure busts pipes, and also forms diamonds. As long as we listen to the instructions of our Hitting Coach (Holy Spirit) and His instructions on when to swing, we'll NEVER LOSE!
In the game of baseball, it is the ONLY game where you can strike out 7 out of 10 times, and STILL be a superstar. The devil's job is to cause us to focus on the seveb times we struck out versus the three times we made contact! Remember, the Manager (Jesus), who is in the dugout (place where the team sits), chose us to be apart of HIS ALL-STAR TEAM called the SAINTS! Remember, He chose us to be apart of His team! Listen to the Hitting Coach and hit whatever is thrown at you. Swing Batter Swing! Game Over!
