Hi this is Dorette with an encouraging word for kids today. We are talking about overcoming challenges, and looking at the life of David, who as a young boy faced a lion and a bear, and then a giant. I know you are bold and courageous, and whatever God has put in your heart you will be able to accomplish. Be encouraged today!
Eword for Kidz
Do you know that remembering yesterday’s victories gives you courage for tomorrow’s challenges? I don’t know how often you think about it, but confidence comes when you remember success. I want you to think about something that you are really good at. Ok, I know you are probably really good at teasing your sister, or making excuses, but that’s not what I am talking about. Are you good at math, or video games, or singing, or sports? When you make it to first base in a soft ball game, the next time you are up to bat, you will remember that you got to the base once before, so you can do it again. When you face a math test that is challenging, do you know that when you remember the good grade you got before, it gives you courage to do well this time? When you remember the past success, it can make you more successful. David was a guy in the Bible who did just that. He was facing a real giant, and instead of being fearful, running away, and being defeated, he faced the giant head on, and then took his head off! He said, I come to you in the name of the Lord, and I’ve faced a lion and a bear and they were no big deal, and neither are you. I’m sure there was some fear that tried to creep into David’s mind, but he faced the giant with confidence, and won battle. How can that help you? You can do the same thing. Remember when God has helped you before, and believe that you will do well again!
