PLAYING IT SAFE NEVER WON THE PRIZE
Satchel Paige, the first black American to break into National baseball and set many records, said this. "you will never be able to sneak to 2nd base if you don't let go of first base."
Just think for a moment how that simple statement fits just about everything you are challenged to do in life's journey. After all, the game of baseball does seem to illustrate life.
In life, we have a team called family and friends. In that close relation of the team spirit, we learn the game by depending on each other's skills to take the trophy home.
Coaches are given to us along the way to share their guidance and wisdom with us as a team. Some of them we call mothers or fathers; others could be pastors and teachers, but they all do one thing; transfer wisdom to us.
At some point in this game of life, we take our turn at the bat. This is the testing point of who we are; a risk taker or a safety player. Will we swing for the fence or try to make it to the first base and be safe?
They tell me the great Babe Ruth, who carried the home run records for many years, struck out more than he made home runs. He always swung for the fence because, in his mind, every time he was at bat, it was going to be another home run. The crowd loved "the babe" because, home run or strike out; he always was the same; he bowed to the crowd and showed them his love for the game.
You and I are in another type of game, an eternal one. We're on a team, the body of Christ. We have a coach, the Holy Ghost. We have assistant coaches all around us, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists.
All of our coaches say the same thing. Take the risk and swing for the fence.
IT'S CALLED FAITH.
