I was reading about Ty Cobb. Other than Babe Ruth, he was probably the greatest baseball player who ever lived. He had 4,191 hits in his career.
But the biggest hit he ever made was while he was on his death bed. On July 17th, 1961, with tears in His eyes, he welcomed Jesus Christ as the Lord of his life. He told his pastor, “Tell my children that I’m sorry that it was the last part of the ninth inning when I came to know Christ. I wish it would have happened in the top half of the first.”
It didn’t happen until the 9th inning of his life. But Ty Cobb found out that faith in God’s precious cornerstone brings a big blessing
How many of you have been waiting until the bottom of the ninth inning to make Jesus the Lord of your life? How many of you have been living your lives all these years on a shaky foundation of uncertainty?
