March 7th: What to Do Before Making a Big Decision | Carpooling with Jesus

📍 Episode Title: What to Do Before Making a Big Decision | David Asks God First 👋 Hey Friends! Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus! I’m Pastor Justin, and today, we’re talking about something super important—what to do before making a big decision. Whether you're choosing a sport, where to sit at lunch, or how to solve a problem, today's Bible story about David teaches us to ask God first! 📖 Bible Verse of the Day: "So David inquired of the Lord, ‘Shall I go and attack the Philistines?’ The Lord answered, ‘Go, for I will surely deliver them into your hands.’" – 2 Samuel 5:19 🌟 Key Takeaways for Kids & Parents: David didn’t rush into battle—he stopped and asked God first. God sees the whole picture and guides us when we ask Him for help. Jesus wants to help you with big and small decisions—just ask! ⚔️ Bible Story: David Seeks God’s Guidance David had just become king, but the Philistines wanted to fight him. Instead of rushing into battle, David prayed and asked God for direction. God answered, and because David followed Him, he won the battle! Jesus would have learned this story as a kid, and it’s a lesson for us too! ❤️ What Would Jesus Say? "Whenever you have a choice to make, talk to me first. I love helping you! You don’t have to figure everything out alone—ask your parents, teachers, and most of all, ask God!" 🧩 Real-Life Lesson: Beckett’s Story Beckett had two invitations for the same day—a birthday party and a Lego tournament. He felt stuck, but instead of picking randomly, he prayed and talked to his parents. The next morning, he found out the Lego store had another tournament next month! He was able to go to his best friend’s party and felt at peace. Beckett’s story is just like David’s—he didn’t figure it out alone, he asked God first! 🙏 Friday Prayer: "God, thank you for this week. Help us finish strong today and bless our weekend with joy and rest. Amen." 💬 Family Discussion Question: What’s one decision you can pray about this week? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parents: If you love Carpooling with Jesus, share this episode with another parent this weekend!
