Excerpt from “GOD’S AMAZING KIDS” – “GIANT SLAYER”:

Every day the giant Goliath mocked the armies of the living God. David knew that someone must stop him. But everyone was afraid. So, David said that he would do it. 

David knew he would not have to face that giant alone. God would be with him, just as he always had been. But he had to convince King Saul to let him try. It was time to tell his testimony about how God had delivered him from the lion and the bear.

We all know the story. With one smooth stone, and his little sling, David ran at Goliath, just as he had sped toward the lion. The stone hit the giant right between the eyes with such force that it sunk into his brain, killing him instantly.

David eventually became king of Israel. During his reign, he published many songs that we now know as Psalms. Do you wonder, like I do, how many of those songs he wrote as a boy, while tending his father’s sheep?

TO PONDER:

David had a strong relationship with God that came from spending time worshiping and praying every day.

Do you take time each day to spend with God?
