David and Goliath (1 Samuel 16-17)
David and Goliath (1 Samuel 16-17)
Anticipate: Wind It Up
We’ve been learning that God can strengthen us in whatever way we need (Candy canes experiment) and that He has the power to provide us with skills, knowledge and supernatural help to do what He wants (Joshua). The story of David and Goliath brings this all together.
The windup toys are all the same inside where there is a spring of metal that prefers NOT to be wound up. While the spring is unwound, the toy doesn’t move and has no purpose. The spring is NOT HAPPY about this because it is far more comfortable being loose. But when you put the toy on he table and let go of the winding pin, they do amazing things. Hopping, skiing, walking—all these movements are possible because the spring was wound into an uncomfortable position that powered the toy to do lots of different things.
Sometimes we feel that there is nothing we can do or that we have no value or ability to do anything. But like the toy, God has already put something inside us that will enable us to do what He created us to do! Its not possible to DO it when unwound but if we let God wind us up, look out! Winding is not comfortable. It’s not a natural state that happens without effort. God PUTS His power into us and then we can do great things—but we have to first remember that He created us to do amazing things, second TRUST that He WILL help us do them if we are willing, allow Him to “wind us up” through the same knowledge and experience and practice David got defending his father’s sheep.

Memory Verse:
"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak."--Isaiah 40:29
In God's leadership system, God appoints those who communicate with God to lead His people (priests, prophets and judges). However, the Israelites demanded a king so they could be just like the other nations. In God's disappointment, God gave them a king, king Saul. However, king Saul was not always obedient to the Lord. Thus, God rejected him as king and asked Samuel to anoint David, the shepherd boy to be the next king.
During this time, the Philistines raged war against the Israelites. In their camp, the giant Goliath was their champion. He came out everyday for 40 days to taunt and challenge the Israelite army to have someone battle with him. The Israelite army was frightful of the giant, including king Saul. But David, who knew that God is victorious over all things, recalled how God helped him rescue his flock from the mouths of the lion and the bear and bravely volunteered to fight the giant. David knew who God is, and he also knew who he was. He declined king Saul's offering of his armor and went with the weapons that he's familiar with--a sling and 5 stones. David trusted that God is victorious and he knew that with God's empowering (like the windup toys being wound up), he could face any giant and claim victory. With one shot, David struck down the giant and won the battle.
Respond: God Is Victorious!
Its easy to talk about a situation like David and Goliath and believe amazing things about what God did because its so far out of our daily lives. But what happen when we are living day to day and go through a situation in which we really need God in order to conquer a fear, solve a problem or right a wrong? We need to be reminded and practice proclaiming that God is victorious in our lives everyday.
Bless:
“I put no trust in my bow,
my sword does not bring me victory;
but you give us victory over our enemies,
you put our adversaries to shame. In God we make our boast all day long,
and we will praise your name forever.”—Psalm 44:6-8

but you give us victory over our enemies,

May our children trust in nothing but God to give them victory in their lives. May He be victorious in their heart and give them peace and joy.
