Proverbs 6:6-9 (NKJV) => Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard!
These verses are praising the wisdom of the ant colony. Without calendars or anyone to tell them what to do, ants gather food all the time. They seem to be storing away food for the winter when it is too cold to leave the colony. I am to work like an ant. I am to prepare for tomorrow as well as take care of today. I have heard the comparison between taking on a very large project and an aut building a new colony. Take it one grain of sand at a time and keep pushing on.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the example of the ants. Help me to not be lazy but diligent in every task I need to do. Help me, Holy Spirit, to know where to get my daily needs taken care of, as well as knowing when to store away for the future, no matter how large the activity may seem. Amen.
