Have you ever felt too small for something big?
He was the youngest of eight brothers. He took care of his father’s sheep.
David’s father sent him to the army camp with bread and cheese.
Goliath was very tall. Every day he shouted, “Send someone to fight me!”
David said, “God kept me safe from a lion and a bear. God will be with me now.”
“Go! The LORD will be with you.”
1 Samuel 17:37
King Saul gave David his armor. David could hardly walk, so he took it off.
David chose five smooth stones from the brook. He took his sling.
“The LORD doesn’t save with sword and spear.”
1 Samuel 17:47
David’s stone hit Goliath on the forehead. Down he fell! The other army ran away.
When we feel small or scared, God is with us.
I wonder how David felt as he walked toward the giant.
I wonder what helps you feel brave.
