During the NCAA tournament this year I’ve been a fan of
the underdog teams. Sure they killed off a number of my predictions for
the tournament, but overall the underdog teams are what make the tournament as
much fun as it is to watch.
Have you ever been considered an underdog in your
life? Maybe you played a sport and your team was an underdog. Maybe
you wouldn't consider yourself the best candidate for a job but somehow got
it? Maybe you beat a disease like cancer where the chances you were given
by the doctor were less than on your side?
God loves the underdog. Take the story of David and
Goliath in 1 Samuel. David was a small teenage boy when he took on the nine-foot giant
Goliath. Goliath wasn’t afraid of David or his slingshot, but he found a
way to beat the giant and took full advantage. David’s faith in God
allowed him to look at Goliath in a way others had not. To David, Goliath
was just another person who had a weakness to be found.
My point today is that if we look at our problems and impossible situations from
God's perspective, we realize that God will fight for us and with us. When we
put things into proper perspective, we see more clearly and we can fight
more effectively. We can beat things like cancer, or a team that has been
overlooked can take out a favored team. When you have faith in God, all things
are possible.
