🚗 Welcome back, friends! Today on Carpooling with Jesus, we’re talking about one of my favorite Bible stories—the story of David and Goliath! This story meant so much to me as a kid that I read it every time I was away from home at a sleepover.
📖 Bible Verse of the Day:
💡 1 Samuel 17:45 – "You come against me with a sword, spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel's forces, whom you have defied."
💬 What You'll Learn Today:
✅ How David faced his giant with faith, not fear✅ Why God is always bigger than any challenge you face✅ How to trust God with the giants in your own life—whether it’s a big test, a tough game, or something scary at school
🏆 The Story of David & Goliath:
David wasn’t a soldier—he was just a young shepherd. But when he heard the giant Goliath challenging Israel, he didn’t back down. Instead of being afraid, David trusted God and stepped forward with only a slingshot. While Goliath laughed, David knew something important: God is bigger than any giant! With one stone, David defeated Goliath, proving that faith in God is stronger than any battle we face.
🚀 Challenge of the Day:
Think about something in your life that feels too big or too scary right now. A test? A presentation? Trying something new? Remember, God is with you, just like He was with David. When you feel afraid, say: "God is bigger than this!"
🙏 Short Friday Prayer:
"God, thank You for this week. Help us finish strong today and bless our weekend with joy and rest. Amen."

🚗 Why did the humble tomato turn red? Because it saw the salad dressing! 😂 That’s a good one! Today on Carpooling with Jesus, we’re diving into the Bible to learn about humility—what it really means and why God loves it when we lift others up instead of seeking attention for ourselves.
