MEMORY VERSE: SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES OF HIM WHO HATH CALLED YOU. (1 PETER 2:9)
Today we will be talking about the life of David in the bible.
God is so merciful to us because he love us so much that is why he send his only begotten son Jesus Christ to die for us so that our sin will be forgiven.

David was a young boy who lived in the little town of Bethlehem. There were eight boys in this Jewish family, and David was the youngest. David came from the town called Bethlehem and he is the youngest child i his family. David was a Jew and his father name was called Jesse.
Jesse, his father, had taught his sons about God, and that they should be thankful and grateful for all the good things that God the father has done for them. David prayed and and ask AGod to have mercy and forgive him all his sin he has sinned against God.
David was a shepherd boy. A shepherd is a person who looks after a sheep. He was not very old when he started taking care of his father's sheep on the hillsides, outside the town walls.
So many times, David was alone with the sheep for days at a time. One time a lion came to take a lamp, and God helped David to save the lamb right out of the lion's mouth. Another time a bear came and took a lamb. God helped David to kill the bear. David was so bold because he trust in the lord for strength, he knew he was not alone, he knew that God was with him because he was a child of God.

David had no one to talk and tell the praises he felt in his heart for God. David loved singing praises to the most high, so he began to make up songs about the things he saw about him that told him of God's love and mercy. The kind of song David made up is called a psalm.

He knew God loved him, for God had made the beautiful world in which he lived. God made the trees, the grass that waved in the cool breeze, even the sheep from whose wool he could spin thread to make warm clothes to wear.
God helps me when i am in trouble, Song David. David said, I prayed to God and he answer me. He saved me and keeps me. He heals me when i am sick. He gives me food to eat when i am hungry and also cloths to were.

I praise the Lord for his good works upon my life. Oh! give thanks unto the lord.
The world is full of many things that only God could have made; the sky, the ocean, the moon, the sun, the stars, and many other beautiful things.
Do ever try to do as David did? Do you stop to say a prayer of thanks to God for all his great works upon your life? think about this.
God bless you all.
