When Pigs Fly
Robert Dawson
Psalm 2
We've all heard the phrase ''the odds are not in your favor.'' While it means the likelihood of succeeding may be slim, it is not an impossibility. There is still a chance. Some people live to fight the odds. They love being the underdog. If there is the slightest chance, they are willing to take it.
No one likes having the odds stacked against us. We would much rather find ourselves in the opposite situation, one where the odds are firmly in our favor. That is a much more comfortable, enjoyable, and hopeful place to be.

Their desires would go unfulfilled. Their goals were unachievable. They vastly overestimated themselves and greatly underestimated their opponent.

Upon Zion, My holy mountain.'' 7 ''I will announce the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have fathered You. 8 Ask it of Me, and I will certainly give the nations as ...
