Prayer: God, you called David because you knew that he could lead Israel through difficult times and remain faithful to you.

In your Holy name we pray, Amen. Reading: 1 Samuel 16:1-13 (Click to read text) or Spark Bible, p. 126. Questions To Answer:
Reflection: In the story we heard about how God chose David to be the new king of Israel, because he saw the gifts that no one else expected to see in David. His abilities were overlooked because he was the youngest son and worked as a shepherd. God acts in ways that can be hard for us to understand, and it can be scary or difficult for us to blindly follow his path for us. David put his trust in God’s grace and his promises for future generations and became one of the most renowned Kings in the Bible. This story teaches us that God keeps the promises that he makes to us, and that his grace extends to everyone. --Alex Beaver and Noah Roux Activity: Two Lies and a Truth In a small group with your family, think of a talent that someone else in your family has and draw their talent as a piece of paper.
