Summary

Anna and Matt travel back in the time machine to meet Jonathan, the son of King Saul and friend of David. Jonathan shares how God protected David again and again, proving that God is Refuge—He is a place of safety and protection for His children. From Bible stories to the Psalms, kids learn that God is always a safe place we can run to and trust. What You’ll Learn: 🛡️ God is Refuge—He keeps His children safe. 👑 God protected David many times from Saul’s jealousy and attacks. 📖 Psalm 18:2 shows us that God is our rock, fortress, and deliverer. 🤝 Friends like Jonathan help us believe and remember who God is. 🎶 We sing together: “⁠⁠Our Great God (Attributes Song)⁠⁠” Try This at Home: ✅ Read Psalm 18:2 together as a family and talk about how God is your refuge. ✅ Share with a friend or sibling one attribute of God that helps you trust Him. ✅ Thank God in prayer this week for being your safe place. ✅ Read 1 Samuel 18–22 to see more ways God protected David. ✅ Sing the attributes song as a reminder that God is your refuge.
