God Sends and Giants
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout →

In life, just like in the life of David, there are people God sends to encourage us and affirm His calling. When we trust and obey God, we can rest assured that He will take care of us, and what the enemy intends for evil, God turns for our good and His glory[cite: 56].

Key God-Sends in David's Life:[cite: 56]
  • Samuel: Anointed David and offered wise counsel (1 Samuel 16)[cite: 56].
  • Jonathan: A loyal friend whose soul was knit to David (1 Samuel 18:1)[cite: 56].
  • Abigail: Brought wise counsel and peacemaking (1 Samuel 25)[cite: 56].
  • Nathan: Delivered honest, Godly correction to bring repentance (2 Samuel 12)[cite: 56].
  • Hushai & Joab: Supported David through deep grief and battles[cite: 56].
Giant Principles: We face challenges in every season, but we never face them alone[cite: 56]. God provides faithful companions and His own Holy Spirit to sustain us[cite: 56].

GOD Bless You All. : )[cite: 56]

Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout →

Lesson Introduction: Before reading, talk about what the word “fear” means in Scripture[cite: 56]. In the Bible, “fear of the Lord” means deep love, reverence, and respect for God, trusting Him as our help and shield (Psalm 115:11)[cite: 56].

Discussion & Scripture (Philippians 2:12-18):[cite: 56]

Children explore what it means to shine as lights in the world and follow Jesus with sincere, reverent hearts[cite: 56]. The Lord takes pleasure in those who hope in His mercy (Psalm 147:11)[cite: 56].
