At KiDs Beach Club®, we love seeing kids take biblical truths and apply them to their everyday lives. On Thursday, February 27th, our character word was confidence, trusting in someone greater than you to fight the giants along with you.
That week, the kids were facing a big challenge: state testing. We reminded them that just like David stood before Goliath with unwavering faith, they too could trust God to help them overcome their "giant" of state testing. The Beach Club® leaders encouraged them to pray before taking their test, knowing that God cares about every part of their lives, including their schoolwork.
One student, Layla, truly took this to heart. She believed that if God could help David, He would help her, too. But Layla did something unexpected. She prayed out loud before her test!
As we all know, state testing is silent time, and no talking is allowed. Layla’s bold prayer caught everyone’s attention, and she was pulled out of the classroom by the principal. They had a conversation about what had happened.
But here is the amazing part. Layla stood firm in her faith. She was not ashamed to pray and she was not afraid of the consequences. She simply trusted in God, just as they had talked about.
A Reward for Bravery and Faith
The next week, the Club leaders could not let Layla’s courage go unnoticed. They celebrated and rewarded her for her bravery and faith! She did not just hear the lesson on confidence. She lived it!
In a world where it is often easier to stay quiet about faith, Layla showed true confidence in God. What an incredible reminder that Jesus is proud of those who stand up for Him.
Let’s all be like Layla this week: bold, confident, and unafraid to trust God with our giants.
