Good Morning, God,
The headline last week was about a high school baseball team that didn't have the essentials and thus "lost sight of the other team." As it followed, the team lost.
You ask, Lord, what some of these essentials are? Well, it is essential that a pitcher can get the ball over the plate. It is essential that fielders can stop grounders and shag the flies. It is essential that runners know when to steal and when to stick. It is very essential to listen to the coach and play as a team. It is also essential, Lord, to suit up for each game, play the game as well as one can, and be a good sport at all times, and whether one is winning or losing, do these things always.
What's that, Lord? Do we recognize these baseball essentials as essentials for life? Most of the time we do, God. We try to follow you and work as teams. We try to know when to stay put and when to move. We try to be and do the best at any position at which we are put-and we try to "suit up" each day for the game of life.
Please be with us as our owner, coach and manager, God.
In Jesus's name, Amen.
