Bull´s-Eye
Mealtime Prayer:
Thank God that He is always with us and that we never have to be afraid.
Appetizer:
The giant Goliath was over nine feet tall. How many people from your family
would have to stand on each other’s shoulders to be as tall as Goliath?
Goliath’s armor weighed about 125 pounds. How many kids in your family would he
have to have carried around to equal that weight?
Main Course:
Imagine facing a giant. What would you want to help you? David, a young
shepherd boy, was brave enough to fight a giant. Read the exciting story of David and
Goliath in 1 Samuel 17:32–50.
Table Talk:
• What did David take to help him fight Goliath?
• How did David get his courage?
• What would you have done if you were David?
• What kinds of giants do we face in our everyday lives?
• What weapons can we use to give us courage?
Vitamins and Minerals:
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of
them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you”
(Deuteronomy 31:6).
Parent Reading Idea
if you are facing a GIANT in your life.
You can purchase it at any Christian bookstore, get it from the library, or purchase it from Amazon.
Excerpt: You know your Goliath. You recognize his walk, the thunder of his voice.
He taunts you with bills you can't pay, people you can't please, habits you can't break, failures you can't forget, and a future you can't face. But just like David, you can face your giant, even if you aren't the strongest, the smartest, the best equipped, of the holiest.
David. You could read his story and wonder what God saw in him. His life has little to offer the unstained, straight-A saint. He fell as often as he stood, stumbled as often as he conquered. But for those who know the sound of Goliath, David gives this reminder:
Focus on giants -- you stumble; focus on God -- your giants tumble.
If you're ready to face your giants, let his story inspire you. The same God who helped him will help you.
