Unlikely success against all odds: an entire American generation spent Saturday mornings cheering along the humble, lovable Shoeshine Boy and his alter ego – speed of lightning, roar of thunder, fighting all who rob or plunder – there’s no need to fear, for Underdog is here!

For nothing can hinder the Lord from saving by many or by few.

I Samuel 14:6

Jonathan, the son of the biblical warrior King Saul, didn’t need Underdog to save the day: he was doing it himself! After a time of prayer, Jonathan believed God would deliver the Israelites from the Philistine army. With nothing more than faith and his faithful armor-bearer, he marched right into the enemy camp. His boldness caused such military confusion, Israel’s victory was assured.

As you watch the news tonight, a nation in need of rescue will be evident: calamities abound from rampant disease to violent crime. For most, the blue-caped wonder would be a welcome site, but they don’t need an Underdog; instead, be like Jonathan – pray in faith for God’s will to be done through you, grab your cape, and then get to work. Dedicate yourself to hearing God’s voice and march right into the enemy’s camp, expecting a miraculous victory. Don’t fear! You are here!
