Daily Devotion (English) – 30.03.2025 (Kids Special)

 

What is the weight of an elephant?

 

"The Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth come knowledge and understanding" - Proverbs 2:6

 

Hey, Look, the elephant is coming... I will touch it, I will give bananas, I will give money, and all the little children will run to see the elephant, right? Everyone loves an elephant! Do you know how much an elephant weighs? Don't you? O.K Shall we listen to a story about it?

 

There were two friends, Sanjeev and Saran. Sanjeev came from a very poor family. But he prayed well. He spoke intelligently. Sanjeev, who studied well, would ask Saran to teach subjects he did not know. He would teach him arithmetic very patiently. There was nothing wrong with asking someone he knew to study subjects he did not know. During holidays, he used to play in the field with his friends. While playing like that, he heard the sound of a dhandora. The news that was going to be told was that the one who could tell the weight of an elephant would be given a suitable prize. Saran said, "Hey Sanjeev, you are the smart one, you will definitely tell.

 

The whole town was talking about the same thing. Sanjeev prayed to Yeshappa and went to meet the king. He said, "I will show you the weight of the elephant. Your Majesty, I need a boat that can carry the elephant." The king wondered how he could tell the weight by putting it in the boat, but he said, "Okay, come after three days." After three days, the king and all the ministers came to the riverbank with a boat that could carry the elephant. As soon as Sanjeev reached the riverbank, he asked the elephant to be loaded into the boat. He drew a line on the boat to mark how much it sank while floating in the water. Then he lowered the elephant and asked them to load stones. The boat sank exactly to the extent he had drawn. He pushed the boat back to the shore and said, "This is the weight of the elephant, my king!" Sanjeev weighed the stones in just five minutes using a large scale. The king, who was observing all this, was very surprised. You are so wise being a young boy.. Not only did the king praise the boy, but also, knowing his family situation, he blessed him with suitable gifts.

 

What little ones! Are you worried that I have no knowledge, that I am very backward in studies? Only Jesus can give knowledge. Do you want to ask Him and receive it? Then get down on your knees right now and start praying... O.K Bye...

- Mrs. Anbujothi Stalin
