David and Goliath

David was the youngest son in his family and his job was to take care of the family’s sheep. His older brothers were soldiers in king Saul’s army. David would go out to visit his brothers on the battlefield to bring them food and supplies. One day, David went to the battlefield and heard this big giant teasing the Israelite army. His name was Goliath and he was a huge, mean dude. The Israelite soldiers were afraid of him and Goliath knew it. So, he taunted the Israelites telling them to come out to fight him. He said that if they beat him, the Philistine people would do whatever the Israelites wanted. David heard what Goliath was saying and he was angry that nobody was brave enough to fight Goliath. So, David told king Saul that he would fight the giant. David knew that God was on his side so he wasn’t afraid. He picked up his slingshot and some rocks and went out to face Goliath. He put a rock in his sling and slung it at Goliath hitting him square in the head! The giant fell and the Israelite soldiers couldn’t believe it! Here’s the point. David knew God was with him so he was brave. God is with us in any battle we face, too, so we can be brave like David.
