David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I

come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you

have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut

off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the

wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.

1 Samuel 17: 45-46 (NIV)

Luke 15:1-7 NIV

15 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and

the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them.

Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And

when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and

neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same

way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous

persons who do not need to repent.”

Psalm 23:4 NIV

“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your

staff, they comfort me.”

Psalm 23:4 NLT

“Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod

and your staff protect and comfort me.”

Ephesians 6:12 NIV

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against

the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

Romans 8:14-17
