*DAILY DEW 17/OCTOBER/2023* *The Underdogs' Advantage* _Key Bible Text:_ *"I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."* (Ecclesiastes 9:11 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ "A competitor thought to have little chance of winning a fight or contest" is described as an underdog. Well, I have goodnews. God is the God of the underdogs. Please I didn't say the lazy or the unserious. That is not the focus here. Let me begin with the loudest example of all times. Jesus can actually be described as an underdog. First, even from birth, he would have been born to a shamed and disgraced Mary, who could not possibly explain to a Joseph how she got pregnant but God stepped in. Next, he would have been destroyed along with several innocent male children below two years of age, but again, God stepped in. After that, he was to begin his ministry, and people began to question him, asking "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" As if that was not enough, after three solid years of doing good to the poor and mighty of his day, he was to be tried by public opinion, and a hardened and notorious criminal won the election. Oh! What of his moment of trial; He was to be arrested, all his best friends cum disciples deserted him. And eventually he was crucified as a poor criminal along with two notorious criminals. He very much passes for an underdog. But glory to God, I am telling this story today because He is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings who rose from the dead and liveth for ever more and at the mention of His name every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus is Lord... Friends, take it or leave it, God is the advantage of the underdogs. _MEDITATION:_ *But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty* (1 Corinthians 1:27 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_OCTOBER,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
