A little boy came to his father one day, looking very much in earnest, and asked this question: “Father, is Satan stronger than I am?”
“Yes, my boy,” said the father.
“Is he stronger than you, father?”
“Yes, my boy, he is stronger than your father or any other man.”
“Is he stronger than Jesus, father?”
“No, my boy,” said the father. “Jesus is ever so much stronger than he is.”
The little fellow, as he turned away, said, with a smile, “Then I am not afraid of him.”
That boy felt sure that the Good Shepherd in whom he trusted would protect him from any harm that Satan might try to do to him.
