Fear Busters (Week 6)Sample

Day Four - Worship is My Weapon

Hello mini FearBusters! We hope you're enjoying following our journey with the FearBusters! Remember you can watch this week's episode on YouTube!  We are on such an exciting journey with the Fear Busters so far and we have learnt so much! 

We are looking at Psalm 23 - Can you remember what a Shepherd is?  A shepherd is someone that looks after and takes care of sheep.  God is our Shepherd; we are His sheep. God looks after us and takes good care of us!  Today we are learning that Worship is my Weapon. 

READ: 

Our Bible story of the week is The Lord is my Shepherd. You can read this story in the Beginners Bible (pages 190-193) or in Psalm 23. 

David loved God so much that he would often sing and make up songs of worship to God. Sometimes, David would sing about how good God is. Some songs were sad songs. Some were songs of battle when David would sing about how God helped him defeat his enemies.  Whatever the song was about, David loved to worship God this way! 

God created and gave us worship so that we could spend time with Him and thank Him for everything that He has done for us. Songs are just one way of worshipping God. When we worship God we join with armies of angels in heaven, lifting the name of God.  God is so good to us. He knew that worship would help us to think about Him and how good He is.  

Worship helps us to stop thinking about all the bad things that might be happening around us. It helps us to not be scared and it helps us to fight our fear!  Worship is a weapon that God gave us to use against the bad things that want to keep us in a sad, scared, or worried place. There are lots of different ways you can worship God, so spend some time worshipping Him today!

ASK:

How can you worship God today? Is it a song?  Is it a drawing?  Is it helping someone else?  

Tell us how you worship God today, remember to ask your grown up to send us a photo of you worshipping God on Instagram or Facebook.

REMEMBER: 

The Lord is my shepherd. I have everything I need. He gives me rest in green pastures. He leads me to calm water. He gives me new strength. For the good of his name, he leads me on paths that are right. Even if I walk through a very dark valley, I will not be afraid because you are with me. Your rod and your shepherd’s staff comfort me. You prepare a meal for me in front of my enemies. You pour oil of blessing on my head. You give me more than I can hold. Surely your goodness and love will be with me all my life. And I will live in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23)
