Lesson Description
God told Samuel to go to Bethlehem where He would show Samuel who the next king would be. Saul was still king and any attempt to select a new king would be considered treason and punishable by death. Still, God told Samuel to go. David was likely the smallest of the sons of Jesse, but God wasn’t looking at his size. God had chosen David because of his heart. So God is concerned with our spiritual condition, not our physical appearance. This David Was Called as King Bible lesson for older preschoolers looks at David’s anointing as king and teaches that God knows my thoughts and the reasons for my behavior.
