Day 1 – THE STORY
God gave David some pretty awesome warriors to fight alongside before and while he was king. Today, you are going to read about some of them.
Read 1 Chronicles 12:1-2; 1 Chronicles 12:8-14
How are these warriors described? What could some of them do?
The Bible says that one warrior could defeat 100 men on his own. It also tells us about another warrior. How many men could the other guy defeat all by himself?
Did God give David people to help him fight his battles?
Do you think God will do the same for you?
Day 2 – THE WITNESSES
When you sharpen a knife or scissors, it makes it cut better. When you put on glasses, they sharpen your eyesight. When you sharpen a pencil, it makes it write better. Sharpening helps something do better at what it is made to do. God put mighty men around David to help make him mighty. God wants you to have good friends so you can help each other be mighty for Him.
Read Proverbs 27:17

Day 3 – THE SOURCE (#00af85 BKG) (#ffffff Font)
The best person you can have as a friend is Jesus. If you believe He is your Savior, He is always with you because His Spirit lives inside of you. If you have Him by your side, you will do awesome things!
Read John 15:15
How does this verse describe Jesus? Do you treat Jesus as your #1 friend?
How do you spend time with Jesus?
Day 4 – THE MOTIVE
God wants to give you mighty warriors to live life with and to help you every day. They might look a little different than David’s mighty men, but they are just as important. God wants you to have friends who encourage you to grow in your relationship with Him. He wants you to be a friend who helps others to grow and be who God wants them to be.
Read Romans 12:1
