Last Inning and Down By Nine Runs
January 16, 2024
Last inning and down by eight runs. Do you give up? My softball team had some good seasons and some bad ones over 20 years playing together. We had a real good game going one night before the other team had a great inning and pulled ahead of us. It left us at the bottom of the final inning down by eight runs.
I heard things like, “Let’s get some hits.” And “We can do this.” But the best thing I heard was “We’ve done this before.”
He was right! We had come back from being behind even more runs than this and won.
That’s where hope comes in. Hope comes in and reminds you that you’ve been through the impossible before, and survived. And even won.
When you feel like hope is far away, remember how God has been faithful over the years and thank him for carrying you through the impossible.
And yes, we rallied and scored the needed nine runs to win. A sweet victory of hope.
Remember, choose hope today.
