An Ant's Lesson


"Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways,
and be wise: Which having no chief, Overseer, or 
ruler, Provideth her bread in the summer, And 
gathereth her food in the harvest. How long wilt 
thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out 
of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall
thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an 
armed man (Proverbs 6:6-11)." Nature not only provides
proof for the existence of God (Romans 1:20), but
also many valuable lessons on how to live. One great 
lesson comes from the lowly ant. It works and works 
while it is warm out, when gathering can be done. In 
the colder months, when gathering cannot be done, the
ants have food enough to avoid starvation. They know 
what they need to do without anyone, or thing, giving 
them direction. Like the ants, we were created for a 
purpose, to serve God. Let us work to please the Father
that when the end of time comes we won't be found wanting.



In Christ, Steve Preston
