Hit-By-Pitch

Brewers player ripped for avoiding hit-by-pitch that would have tied game: ‘All he had to do was stand there’

What a headline! The batter was supposed to let a ball traveling 100 miles per hour hit him to win the game because the bases were loaded and the game was tied in the last inning. The pitch was aimed right for his knee. He had a fraction of a second to consider all that information and make a decision.

Many said the game was lost because of him. Sports fans are a strange breed at times.

I’m so thankful the need to consider salvation coming at us doesn’t fall into that kind of thinking.

2 Peter 3:9 

The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

Matthew 7:21 

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.

That’s a slow pitch, so take your time and knock it out of the park. Give it some thought.
