      David and the Giant

      Many years ago in the country of Israel lived a young boy who went by the name David. David wasn’t our average young boy, no, David was very brave and strong. David did not go to any school, so he often worked as a shepherd in his father’s field. David’s job was very difficult, he often had to stay up all night watching the sheep. One day while David accidentally fell asleep, suddenly a wolf came by. The wolf was delighted to see such precious delight. He said to himself, ‘Boy I’m glad to see that the shepherd is fast asleep I will attack the sheep, one by one.’ The clever wolf put his plans into action. Suddenly David awoke and saw the wolf attacking his sheep. He was very angry. He threw his staff, and it hit the wolf. The wolf cried out, Ouch! And quickly ran away. The sheep were once again safe in the shelter of their beloved shepherd.

      At a particular time, David decided to write a poem about God’s goodness, and how He was the best shepherd of the earth. David often made up many poems, but this one he called the Shepherd Psalm. He thought of the words, and he came up with these verses for his poem:

      The Lord is my Shepherd he provides for me, therefore, I will never be hungry.

      He puts me down in green pastures, He provides cool rivers of water for me.

      He lifts up my soul. He leads me on a righteous path because I fear his name.

      I walk through the shades of death. I am brave because God is with me, his gigantic staff protects me.

      In my enemies’ presence, you have laid a table for me; you have anointed my head with oil, my cup is overfull.

      Goodness and mercy shall follow me every day that I live: because I promise to dwell in God’s   house for eternity.

      David was very pleased with his poem. While he recited his poem over and over again, suddenly his brothers came to him and said, King Saul has sent for you!

      David was very surprised, and said, What does the King of Israel require of his servant?

      The oldest brother replied, There is a giant whose name is Goliath. He is planning on destroying the entire country of Israel.

      At this David was extremely angry, and said to his brothers, The God of heaven is our shepherd and He will give me the strength to destroy this wicked giant.

      When his brothers heard this they were very hopeful and confident in David’s words. They hurried to the camp of King Saul and the messengers told King Saul that David had arrived. King Saul became excited and happy. He hurried out to greet David. But to King Saul’s surprise David looked just as any normal little boy in Israel, how could he save Israel from this giant? King Saul said to David, Are you sure you can defeat Goliath? You’re so small in stature.

      David replied, I know I am small and strong. When I was in the forest terrible animals such as bears and lions tried to attack my sheep, I had to defend them, I even killed a bear with my bare hands.

      At this King Saul was impressed and said to his servants, Put on the silver armor on David. Now David wasn’t used to this heavy metal clothes and the armor weighed him down. So David said to King Saul, My King I am not used to wearing metal clothes so I cannot fight in them.

      The King replied, But what will protect you in battle?

      David answered, The Lord is my shepherd he protects my feet in battle.

      Now the battle was going to be in session soon and all Israel and the Philistines were there. Now Goliath was very huge.  He was very tall and strong and his voice sounded like thunder.  He shouted, Who is brave enough to fight me? Ha! Ha ha ha ha !

      Suddenly David said, I am your opponent.

      The Giant was very surprised and said to everyone This little boy is so brave and to show his bravery I will destroy him and Israel!

      David replied, Today you Goliath will be destroyed instead of me! Everyone was in anticipation of the battle. Goliath and David were preparing to fight. Goliath brought his sword and shield. David only brought his slingshot and five stones. When Goliath saw David’s slingshot he mocked him and Israel the more and said, David has brought his little sling, do you think I am a dog?

      David answered, You bring your sword and shield, but I bring the God of heaven and earth.

      Suddenly Goliath started attacking David.  David took a stone from his pocket.  He put it in his slingshot and made a very strong swing. The stone hit the Giant in the forehead and he fell with a huge tumble to the ground. Everyone was surprised.  David had defeated Goliath and all Israel celebrated the victory. King Saul gave David a medal and many gifts. David was proud of himself because the Lord was His Shepherd. The Philistines were sore afraid and had to flee.

      Psalm 23: 1 The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.

      Samson and the Monstrous Fish

      SAMSON WAS THE STRONGEST boy in the entire world. From his birth he was strong. His hair was the source of his strength. The hair on his head was divided into seven locks due to how long it was. One particular day, Samson went down to the seacoast because he wanted to buy some fish to prepare for his family’s dinner. There were many people who went fishing. He was the only Hebrew by the seashore. There were people from other countries, but no other Hebrew. But on that bright sunny morning, everyone was afraid. No one wanted to go to the sea. Samson said, ‘I wonder why all these people are here, and not fishing?’

      Suddenly a fisherman said, ‘Samson the gods have sent you to us today because we know you’re super strong."

      Samson replied, What is wrong? You sound fearful.

      The man answered, A monstrous fish is in the sea!

      When Samson heard this he said, Don’t worry, neither be fearful I will catch this monstrous fish. At this the people became confident. Samson said, In order to catch this monstrous fish we need a plan.

      A fisherman who was very experienced in catching fish replied, We could tie about a hundred pieces of rope together in a knot and then melt a huge piece of iron for the hook.

      This plan sounded good to Samson, and while the men worked urgently, Samson prayed to God and said: Lord, I thank you that you have created me super strong.  I am about to help these people of the sea coast help me to be super confident to catch that monstrous fish that is in the sea and that I will catch it.

      When Samson had finished praying the men were nearly finished with knotting the ropes and melting the iron for the hook. Samson now needed the bait to entice the fish. He told the women that were present he needed bread and lots of it. The women quickly prepared the bread, and they prepared lots of it. Samson took hundreds of the loaves of bread and kneaded it together in a giant ball. The hook was now ready. The men brought it to Samson.  Samson attached the rope to the hook. He also tied the ball of bread to the hook. Samson was good at tying knots. When all this was done it was time to catch the monstrous fish. Samson tossed the line into the sea. The fish was
