1 Samuel 17 | The Battle Is the Lord’s | Come Follow Me for Kids & Teens | Ark Conspiracy Ch. 22

This week’s Come Follow Me reading is: June 15–21 “The Battle Is the Lord’s” 1 Samuel 17–18; 24–26; 2 Samuel 5–7 What does courage really mean when you have done everything you can… and it still isn’t enough? In Chapter 22 of The Ark Conspiracy, Noah, Rachel, and Eli face a storm they cannot outsmart or out-muscle. They prepare. They fight. They keep moving. But in the end, the light that saves them comes from outside their own strength. Key principle: Courage means doing everything within your power while accepting that the deliverance was never yours to manufacture. This episode connects to David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, where David moves forward with faith, courage, and preparation — but still knows the battle belongs to the Lord.
