Bible Text: 1 Samuel 17:12-15, 34, 35; Psalm 23:1-4
"The Lord is my shepherd." David, the shepherd psalmist, wrote those words from experience, David led sheep to green pastures and beside still waters. He knew what it meant to take them through valleys of death where lions or bears might attack. This Sunday, we talked about David when he was just a young boy. We talked about how brave David was to protect his sheep from wolves, lions and bears. We are so thankful that God loves us and takes care of us like a shepherd takes care of his sheep.
Parents, set up an obstacle course with a laundry basket "mountain" to go over, chair "bushes" to go around, and sheep "streams" to cross. Be the shepherd, and lead your "sheep" through the obstacles to the "pasture." Remind them that God takes care of them, just like a shepherd takes care of his sheep.
