Knowing what we want and pursuing our goals is not a bad thing, provided we walk in the light of God’s Word. While some people take steps in the right direction and become achievers, there are others who start out trying to make a statement and end up becoming a full stop.

Do you know Jesus? More importantly, are you known by Him?

Life will never be the same once you start the lifelong adventure of following Jesus!

At some point in our lives, we've all been underdogs. We've felt there's somebody out there more qualified; somebody more knowledgeable, experienced, skillful, or capable.

In this 5-day devotional, you'll experience the stories of many underdogs in the Bible.
