THE ANT Prov 6:6-11
Taken From: "OUR DAILY BREAD"
Read: Proverbs 6:6-11
[The ant] provides her supplies in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. —Proverbs 6:8
Every year I do something special to celebrate the arrival of spring —I buy ant traps. Those little invaders continually march into our kitchen in search of any crumb left on the floor. They aren't picky; a shard of potato chip, a grain of rice, or even a speck of cheese will do.
Although ants may be a nuisance, Solomon praised them for their steadfast work ethic (Prov. 6:6-11). He pointed out that ants are self-directed. They have "no captain, overseer, or ruler" (v.7), yet they are very productive. The ants also keep busy even when it's not immediately necessary, providing supplies in the summer and gathering food in the harvest (v.8). By the time winter arrives, they're not worried about what they will eat. Little by little, these hard workers have saved up enough to sustain themselves.
We can learn from the ant. When God gives us times of plenty, we can prepare for times when resources may be low. God is the provider of all that we have, including our ability to work. We are to work diligently, be wise stewards of what He has provided, and then rest in the promise of His care (Matt. 6:25-34).
Let's remember Solomon's advice: "Go to the ant . . . . Con-sider her ways and be wise" (Prov. 6:6).
The humble ant's keen industry
Can teach us all a lesson,
If in creation we will see
God's classroom is in session. —Gustafson
Trust God for today—and prepare for tomorrow.
P.S.- Pass This On
James 1:22
