Wednesday's Word of the Week - Sling It

On Wednesday's I bring you 'Word of the Week' - a devotion you can use with your girls at GB.

Sling It

Materials:
2 tube socks - roll up one sock and place it inside the bottom of the other sock.
Copy paper - write the following references on separate sheets of paper: Philippians 4:13, Exodus 15:2, Psalm 28:7, 2 Timothy 1:7.

Tell the Bible story "David Fought Goliath" (1 Samuel 17:1-50)
Display the tube sock sling to the girls.
Demonstrate the proper way to wind the sling in the air several times before tossing it at one of the verse pages on the floor.
Invite each child to identify a time when she feels scared or troubled and to toss the sling at a verse.  If the sling lands on a reference, guide all the kids to find the verse in their Bibles and read it aloud together.  Repeat the activity until all the verses have been read.
Debrief by explaining that by trusting God to give them power, they will experience peace and joy.
