God isn't really interested in our batting averages. — © Dale Murphy
God isn't really interested in our batting averages.
I spent twenty-two seasons playing professional baseball. Naturally, success in that field is measured by batting averages, number of home runs and RBIs, fielding averages, ERAs and other statistics. Fame, notoriety and the bright lights fade quickly. To me, true success in life would be to develop both physically and spiritually to our fullest and to endure to the end!
Ballplayers who are first to the dining room are usually last in batting averages.
I never keep a scorecard or the batting averages. I hate statistics. What I got to know, I keep in my head.
I can't really say I'm batting badly. I'm not batting long enough to be batting badly
If I can get a story about a player, I would give you a ship load of numbers, batting averages and all just for that one precious story. That's the kind of thing that I love to do.
God is not interested in our public displays of piety. He's not interested in religion in terms of the outward show. He's interested in godliness.
Imagine if you had baseball cards that showed all the performance stats for your people: batting averages, home runs, errors, ERAs, win/loss records. You could see what they did well and poorly and call on the right people to play the right positions in a very transparent way.
We are all really working hard to improve our batting.
Do we not see God at work in our circumstances? Dark times are allowed and come to us through the sovreignty of God. Are we prepared to let God do what He wants with us? Are we prepared to be separated from the outward, evident blessings of God? Until Jesus Christ is truly our Lord, we each have goals of our own which we serve. Our faith is real, but it is not yet permanent. And God is never in a hurry. If we are willing to wait, we will see God pointing out that we have been interested only in his blessings, instead of God Himself.
Statistics are the lifeblood of baseball. In no other sport are so many available and studied so assiduously by participants and fans. Much of the game's appeal, as a conversation piece, lies in the opportunity the fan gets to back up opinions and arguments with convincing figures, and it is entirely possible that more American boys have mastered long division by dealing with batting averages than in any other way.
There's a difference between batting at number four position and batting in the lower order.
I have been pretty free-flowing in my batting. I have not let situations change my batting around too much.
If we are interested in Christ by faith, notwithstanding our imperfections and sins, God will be our God through grace.
Music is for people to hear, I can't think of anything else it could be for. Unless you believe in God, and I don't think God really would be all that interested. I'm sure when Bach wrote for the greater glory of God, he really didn't think that God was going to sit down at breakfast and listen to his cantatas. I think he meant for higher purposes than earning a living.
I will go with my batting because India is a country full of batsmen and whoever scores runs is more famous, as the team is known for its batting.
In the end, I'm really interested in people and what we do with our short time here on earth. I'm interested in the human soul.
