Week of July 22
The coach is chiding his third baseman.
A grounder heads for third and the baseman, thoroughly
rattled, misplays the ball.
"See I told you," the coach says to a visitor on the bench, "he didn't stay focused on the ball."
As the inning ends the third baseman storms off the field
and slams his glove down.
The catcher tells him,
“cheer up, coach only rides those he thinks have potential. It is his way
of trying to bring the best out of you.”
The third baseman lifts his head, his confidence restored.
God is like that coach. He is trying to bring out our best.
He knows what is inside us. He put it there.
“For whom the Lord loves He corrects; even as a father the
son in whom he delights.”
(Proverbs 3:11)
