Goodbye, Goliath

Kyle was visiting his aunt. On Sunday, he got to go to Christian Science Sunday School. After Sunday School, he was excited to tell his aunt about the story of David and Goliath in the Bible. 

This is what he shared: There was a giant named Goliath. He was really big and scary-looking, and he was part of an army called the Philistines. Goliath told the soldiers in the Israelite army that they needed to send a man to fight him. But they were afraid.

There was only one person who wasn’t afraid. His name was David, and he wasn’t a soldier. He was only a kid! David was also a shepherd, who protected his sheep. David knew that even though he couldn’t see God, God had been with him when he’d fought off a lion and a bear. David was sure that God would help him defeat Goliath, too. So David took five smooth stones and his slingshot and slung one of the stones at Goliath. This defeated Goliath, and the Israelites were saved.
