When King David was still a boy watching over his father's sheep, he often came upon spiders' webs strung across tree branches and shining in the sun. David thought the spiders were wonderful to weave such webs, but he could see no use for them.



David grew up and became a courageous warrior. He defeated the giant Goliath and many enemies of the people of Israel. He married King Saul's daughter and the people adored him as the greatest man in the land.

To Do This Week

 Imagine you are a spider. Describe the webs you make and what good they are to you and others.

  • Together, go look at a spider's web. Then draw or paint a picture of both a spider and a web.
  • Tell a story about when you really needed help and someone you didn't expect--like the spider--ended up helping you.
  • Name three different animals. Why do you think God created them?
  • Pretend that David asked you, "Why has God created you?" What is your answer?
