00:00The Little Girl and the Frog
00:02Today's subject is
00:05Wonder, Innocence, and Listening to God's Creation
00:10Today's reflection is called
00:14Out of the Mouth of Babes
00:17Bible Passage
00:19Psalm 8 verse 2, New King James Version
00:25Out of the Mouth of Babes and Nursing Infants you have ordained strength, because of your
00:31enemies, that you may silence the enemy and the avenger
00:35Bible Reading
00:38A little blonde girl lays by the edge of a sunlit pond, her hair golden in the afternoon
00:45light, as she talks softly to a green frog perched on a lily pad
00:50She tells him her thoughts, her dreams, and wonders aloud if he understands her
00:57The breeze stirs gently, and the waters reflect heaven's peace
01:03As her innocent voice fills the air, one is reminded of Psalm 8 verse 2, that God has ordained
01:12strength through the voices of children
01:14In their simplicity and wonder, they often see and say truths that adults overlook
01:21Here's how the story goes
01:25This tender moment by the pond is more than a child's whimsy
01:30It is a portrait of purity and trust
01:34The child speaks freely, unburdened by pride, prejudice, or fear
01:41The frog, a humble creature of God, sits quietly, as if listening
01:48Through her voice, we hear how God can use even the smallest hearts to teach us about
01:56faith, stillness, and all
01:58It reminds us that creation listens, and sometimes it takes a child to remind us to stop, speak
02:07gently, and see God's hand in the ordinary
02:10So, what did you learn from our story today?
02:16Well, God often chooses the simple and the small to reveal His greatness
02:21Like the little girl at the pond, we are called to trust, speak, and listen, knowing that God hears,
02:31and His creation reflects His glory
02:34So, how can we use what we've learnt, in our own lives?
02:41Number 1
02:42Cultivate childlike faith
02:46Approach God with innocence and honesty
02:50Children trust without hesitation
02:53We are called to the same bold open trust in our Heavenly Father
02:59Number 2
03:02See God in creation
03:05The frog by the pond, the wind in the trees, these are reminders of God's nearness
03:12Slow down, observe, and listen for God in the natural world
03:19Number 3
03:21Let your voice place freely
03:24Like the girl's spontaneous conversation, let your words honour God
03:31Sing, speak, and pray without self-consciousness, He delights in our genuine hearts
03:39Number 4
03:41Value stillness and presence
03:45The pond scene invites stillness
03:49In quiet, we often hear God best
03:53Set time aside today to sit, reflect, and simply be with Him
04:00Thank you for taking this quiet moment to reflect with me
04:05Life moves quickly, but these small still moments, a child's voice, a frog's stillness, the whisper of Scripture, hold deep truths
04:17As you go through your day, may you carry a child's heart, an ear for God's voice, and a soul ready to be still
04:27May grace and peace be yours abundantly
04:31May God bless you, and your family, and watch over you always
04:37May God bless you, and your family, and your other people
04:48May grace O nucleate
04:51May grace O whoever
04:53May grace O routes
04:53May grace O elev...
