Bible Story: 1 Kings 3:3-14 | Solomon’s Request
Main Point: I will ask God for what I need!
Memory Verse: “Finally, let the Lord make you strong. Depend on his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor. Then you can remain strong against the devil’s evil plans.” Ephesians 6:10-11
Dear princes and princesses of the Royal Land,
Sir Pogo and Darrin have collected six of the seven pieces of the armor of God. They continued on their journey, looking for the Gloves of Prayer, when they came to a stream. Darrin said he would take Sir Pogo across the stream, but only if Sir Pogo held onto the supply bag. Sir Pogo did not mean to, but he let go of the supply bag while they were crossing the stream and it floated away.
While searching for the supply bag, a royal messenger arrived with a special message from me. This message was about King Solomon from the Bible. King Solomon asked God to help him be a good king and make right choices. After hearing the Bible story about King Solomon Sir Pogo decided he should be more like King Solomon and trust that God would provide them with all they needed.
The Bible story helped Sir Pogo and Darrin learn to ask God for His help. If if they didn’t get the supply bag back, they knew God would give them what they needed. When they finished praying, a man walked passed them carrying their supply bag. He had found it washed up on shore downstream! Because they trusted God and prayed to Him, they received one of the Gloves of Prayer.
Don’t forget about the Royal Ball next weekend, princes and princesses!
