David & Goliath

David was a follower of God. David was not afraid. But Goliath thought he was better than anyone. Goliath was a giant.
Now David had a slingshot that he shot tigers and bears with. So when the Israelites were fighting Goliath, David went to the king of the Israelites and said, “I want to face Goliath.” Now facing Goliath is a big deal. This is a kid who wants to face a giant. Now this kid is like 10 years old.
Let me get back to the story. The king said, “Yes, but you most have some armor.”
And he gave David the armor and said, “Now, put on the armor.”
David said, “The armor is too heavy.”
He said, “But most have some armor.”
“I have a slingshot, and I can use it to fight Goliath with.”
So Goliath came with his men. Then Goliath said, “Come. You dare to fight me.”
Then David came to fight Goliath.
He laughed, “A baby has come to me.” Then David got his slingshot round and round. And let go of his slingshot. The rock hit Goliath in the head, and Goliath died. And the Israelites won.

H,
Thanks for the story!
David proved that you're never too small to be used by God in mighty way.
Do you know the story of Samuel & Eli?
