The Deaf Frog Who Reached the Top
The Impossible Race
A crowd gathered to watch tiny frogs climb a towering peak. As the race began, spectators shouted: “Too difficult! You’ll never make it!” One by one, frogs collapsed—except one. The victor’s secret? He was deaf to their doubts.
Three Spiritual Truths From the Tower
- Negative words have gravity: They pull down 99% of dreamers (Proverbs 18:21)
- Spiritual deafness protects: Like the frog, we must tune out:
- Cultural cynicism (“Be realistic”)
- Religious fatalism (“God doesn’t do miracles anymore”)
- Self-doubt (“I’m not good enough”)
- The climb renews strength: Those who persist develop “fresh tempo” endurance (Isaiah 40:31)
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
— Philippians 4:13
Your Divine Earplugs
To reach your “tower top”:
- Amplify heaven’s voice: God’s promises > people’s opinions
- Remember past victories: Recall when you overcame “impossible” odds
- Run with the persistent: Distance yourself from chronic doubters
The Crowd Was Wrong
That frog’s story mirrors:
- Noah building an ark amid mockery
- David approaching Goliath while soldiers scoffed
- Nehemiah rebuilding walls despite naysayers
Today’s challenge: What dream have you abandoned because of someone’s “realistic” advice? God specializes in tower-sized miracles.
