The Shepherd

1 Samuel 17:34-36 (the Message Bible): "David said, 'I've been a shepherd, tending sheep for my father. Whenever a lion or bear came and took a lamb from the flock, I'd go after it, knock it down, and rescue the lamb. If it turned on me, I'd grab it by the throat, wring its neck, and kill it. Lion or bear, it made no difference- I killed it. And I'll do the same to this Philistine pig who is taunting the troops of God-Alive.'"

Replace David with Jesus.
Replace "lion" or "bear" with Satan.
Replace "Philistine pig" (that's Goliath) with whatever problem you're facing.

There's not much that I could add to that. Thank God for His power and protection in our lives! Satan is powerless under the hand of our Rescuer.
