March 3rd: Facing Giants with Faith | 🚗 Carpooling with Jesus

4 minutes

Hey friends! Whether you’re in the car on the way to school, finishing up breakfast, getting ready for homeschool, or just hanging out at home—I’m so glad you’re here!

This month, we’re marching through Bible stories that Jesus would have learned when He was a kid. And today, we’re talking about something huge—GIANTS! Have you ever faced something that felt way too big to handle? Today’s story is all about how trusting God gives us the courage to overcome even the biggest challenges.

📖 Bible Verse of the Day:

💡 1 Samuel 17:45 – "You come against me with sword and spear, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty."

💬 What You'll Learn Today:

✅ How David faced his giant with faith, not fear

✅ Why trusting God gives us courage in scary situations

✅ How to stand strong when facing a big challenge in your own life

🏆 The Story of David & Goliath:

David was just a young shepherd boy taking care of his sheep and delivering food to his brothers. But one day, he found himself standing in front of a huge warrior named Goliath. Goliath was over nine feet tall—basically like a walking building! Everyone was afraid, but not David. He knew that God was bigger than any giant.

When Goliath came at him with a giant sword and heavy spear, David didn’t back down. He said, "You come against me with sword and spear, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty." With just a slingshot and a single stone, David defeated Goliath—not because he was the strongest, but because he had faith.

If Jesus were sitting with us right now, I think He’d say: You don’t have to be the biggest, the strongest, or the fastest to win battles—you just have to trust that God is with you.

🚀 Challenge of the Day:

Think about something in your life that feels big or scary—maybe a test at school, a problem with a friend, or something new you're trying. When you feel afraid, say: "God is bigger than this!"

📖 A Real-Life Example:

My friend Cammy had a big test coming up. She was so nervous that she wanted to stay home! But then she remembered the story of David and Goliath. She prayed, took a deep breath, and reminded herself: God is bigger than my fear. And guess what? Even though she didn’t spell every word perfectly, she did her best—and that was enough.

Just like David trusted God, we can trust Him with the big challenges in our lives.

🙏 Short Prayer:

"God, thank You for being bigger than my fears. Help me to trust You and have courage in every challenge I face. Amen."
