God of the Underdog

But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels. (Hebrews 12:22)

Most people like to root for the “underdog.” The underdog is the person who no one expects to win. It’s the person who has the odds against them. If you’ve ever felt like you were an underdog, facing an uphill battle, outnumbered and overwhelmed, I’ve got news for you—you’re not alone. In fact, you are surrounded by God’s support.

Hebrews 12:2 shares a vision of Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, where there is an innumerable company of angels. Innumerable means it is beyond the human ability to count. God has so many angels ready to help you that it’s impossible for you to even calculate or figure it in your mind. Regardless of what the issue is, if you are listening to God and following Him in obedience, you’re not an underdog. You’re on the winning side.

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed so hard about following God’s plan that His pores released great drops of blood. When Jesus decided to obey God, the Father sent angels to strengthen Him. And angels will be sent to invigorate, encourage, and give you supernatural strength from the throne room of heaven so that you can do what God is calling you to do in your difficult moments, even if you feel like the underdog.

There’s no battle too great, no challenge too difficult for those who are on God’s side. He has strength ready for you and angels at your command to strengthen you in a trying moment in your flesh and soul.

When you feel emotionally, mentally, or even physically exhausted from a challenging season, command your angels to bring you strength. God has not left you alone. Use your angels and give God thanks that even when the world calls you “the underdog,” with God’s help, you win.
