There Is One

I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. John 14:30

The King James version uses 'prince', but the scary thing isn't the exact title, but that there is one. And either word, prince or ruler, speaks to a position of power. From all the way back in Genesis 3, any reader of the Bible has known that there is an enemy, a tempter, or the Hebrew term satan, meaning adversary. There is even a proper name, Satan, for the Adversary, which first appears in 1 Chronicles 21:1 and is blamed for tempting King David into an unauthorized census which would cost 70,000 men their lives. So... how do we little humans resist such a one as that? Well, don't dwell on the enemy. Go to the Almighty in prayer. Seek the Savior. Run to the Good Shepherd, little sheep!

There is one, but we have our Good Shepherd,
