the reason we teach this unit

The children will learn that God chooses his servants regardless of appearance. They will know that God helps them face difficult situations.

They will understand that God shows his love through friends. They will understand that God can help them be kind.

These lessons teach a lot in a world that seems out of control. Through the life of David, we see that God works through the most unusual circumstances to help those who love and serve him.

God chose David to be king, and David responded with obedience and patience. Although things were not always going well, David knew that God cared for him. God helped him before he became king, defended him from Goliath, provided him with a friend, kept him safe from King Saul, and was with him during his reign.

Through the life of this Bible character, preschoolers will learn that God loves them, cares for them, and wants to help them.
