God is Bigger than Goliath!

Last week we kicked off our series, "God is Big," with the story of Jonah. This week, we will be learning about how David defeated a giant named Goliath with God's help. You can find the story in 1 Samuel 17.

What I love about this story is that it teaches kids that they don't have to fight their battles alone - something us adults also need to be reminded of. I was reading a devotion online that summarized the story of David and Goliath and then asked some reflection questions (listed below). Try to take some time to answer them today. I hope the reminder that you don't have to do it alone brings you encouragement today... whether the "it" is something as small as David or as big as Goliath.

1) Are you facing a giant problem or impossible situation? Stop for a minute and refocus. Can you see the situation more clearly from God's vantage point?

2) Do you need to take courageous action in the face of insults and fearful circumstances? Do you trust that God will fight for you and with you? Remember, God's opinion is the only one that matters.
