Story: God Chooses David (from the book My Good Night Bible by Standard Publishing. (pg. 85-86)

God Chooses DavidGod said, “The Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

God wanted to choose a new king.God would choose a king who loved him.

And God would choose a king who was strong and wise –no matter his size!

So God sent Samuel to Jesse’s family to choose the king.There were eight brothers that God could use.

Only one would be king –who would God choose?

The tall one with the wavy red hair?

Or the big, BIG brother who was standing there?Would God choose the brother who was the oldest?Or would he pick the thinnest or bravest or boldest?

Maybe the brother with new leather shoes?Only one would be king –who would God choose?

God chose David, the littlest brother!

God picked David becauseDavid was wise and strong, and he loved God.
