There was a big, big giant named Goliath. Goliath was very tall and very strong. He shouted at God’s people and said, “Send someone to fight me!” All the soldiers were afraid. No one wanted to go.

One by one, the sons came before Samuel. The first son looked tall and strong. Samuel thought, “This must be the one!” But God said, “No. I do not look at people the way you do. People look at the outside, but I look at the heart.” One by one, each son came forward. But God did not choose any of them. Samuel asked, “Are these all your sons?” Jesse said, “There is one more. His name is David. He is out in the field taking care of the sheep.” So, they brought David in. David was the youngest. He did not look like a king. But God said, “This is the one.” Samuel poured oil on David’s head. This meant David was...

1 Samuel 17:34–37; Psalm 23 Our story comes from the Bible. It is found in the part of the Bible called 1 Samuel ("First Samuel"). It is the first of two books in the Bible named after Samuel. David was a shepherd. That means he took care of sheep. Every day, David watched over his sheep. He helped them find soft grass to eat and cool water to drink. He made sure they stayed safe. Sometimes, dangerous animals came near the sheep. Once, a lion came! Another time, a bear came! But David was not alone. God was with him. God helped David be brave and strong. David protected the sheep because he trusted God. Later, David wrote a beautiful song about God.

And God does the same for us. Jesus helps us see this clearly. Jesus tells us that He is our Shepherd too. He loves us, stays with us, and takes care of u...
