Key Verse<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe secret of the LORD is<\/em> with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.\u201d \u00a0Psalms 25:14 <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Read the Key Verse with your class.\u00a0 Help them understand the verse using the following definitions.<\/p>\n

secret:<\/strong>\u00a0 Intimacy, conversation, consultation<\/p>\n

fear:<\/strong>\u00a0 reverently fear<\/p>\n

covenant:<\/strong>\u00a0 a pledge; a contract with promises of blessing for obedience, a curse for disobedience<\/p>\n

Today we will see the \u201csecret\u201d God had made with David many years earlier (that he would be king of Israel) come to pass.\u00a0 We also notice that David\u2019s relationship with God was one of reverential fear.\u00a0 We see God show David that He will continue fulfilling His covenant with His people by establishing David as king.\u00a0 This was pivotal in ushering in Jesus, the King of Kings (I Timothy 6:14-15).<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong>\u00a0 Remember that we saw Saul became the first king of Israel, but had the kingdom removed from him and his family, forever, because of his disobedience to God\u2019s words.\u00a0 I Samuel 15:23:\u00a0 \u201cFor rebellion is as<\/em> the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as<\/em> iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being<\/em> king.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0I Samuel closed with King Saul\u2019s death in battle.\u00a0 We have now seen 3 of the 4 main characters in the books of Samuel have died.\u00a0 We begin the book of II Samuel continuing in the life of David.\u00a0 We open with David hearing the news, mourning, and Judah (one of the tribes of Israel \u2013 David\u2019s tribe) anointing him as their king. \u00a0The rest of the tribes accept Ishbosheth, Saul\u2019s son, as their king.\u00a0 We see the nation in a state of conflict and turmoil as their king has died, and they try to go on.\u00a0 Until they receive David, God\u2019s choice for their king, there is no peace in the land.\u00a0 Once David is established as king throughout Israel, they are prepared to move on as a nation.<\/p>\n

Encourage your students to bring their Bibles and use them!<\/p>\n

Emphasis:\u00a0 <\/strong>David faithfully sought God\u2019s will for his life.\u00a0 He knew God\u2019s word and obeyed it.\u00a0 He then saw God do just what He promised.\u00a0 We see David live Matthew 6:33 long before it was written:\u00a0 \u201cBut seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ideas for children:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stickers always work well with children. Often times I watch Wal-Mart or Oriental Trading Company for specials or deals on things I can use for crafts for Sunday School (i.e. foam sheets, Bible Story scene stickers, crowns, stick on jewels, construction paper, etc.).\u00a0 I keep a stash and when I need something, I go search in my stash!\u00a0 Pinterest always has great ideas!<\/p>\n

You could have a coloring sheet that goes with the lesson.<\/p>\n

One idea for today\u2019s lesson:<\/strong>\u00a0 (See picture below).\u00a0 For today\u2019s lesson we made a crown as we remembered how God made David king of Israel.\u00a0 You could either purchase pre-made crowns through someplace like Oriental Trading or make your own with gold or silver poster board.\u00a0 Stick on jewels are the easiest to use to decorate the crowns.\u00a0 Some children are creative and enjoy coloring their own crowns\u00a0 with markers making their own jewels.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mural idea:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Refer to the wall in your classroom that has become a mural.<\/p>\n

By now your class should be in a groove as to the direction and areas in which they need to focus and work on to improve their Christian lives.\u00a0 Use this knowledge to help you address specific areas in each lesson that your class can discuss and share as you add new things to your mural.\u00a0 Continue to watch as your class grows in their knowledge of not only God\u2019s Word, but areas in their lives that can be corrected, drawing them closer to the Lord.<\/p>\n

Have them each add anything else they may have brought to add to the wall.\u00a0 Encourage everyone to participate.<\/p>\n
