Ant Safari

Proverbs 6:6-11

Over the summer, a lot of us lose track of time really easily. For me, today, I decided I needed to clean my desk. I woke up, ate breakfast, showered and waited for my hair to dry. But halfway through, I decided to take a nap. I woke up about four hours later, and well, my desk still isn't clean.


"Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores up provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-and poverty will come to you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man."


God clearly tells us to not waste our time-to learn from the ant, who works continually without someone telling them to, to store up provisions and gathering its harvest.It needs no commander. By contrast, we are very lazy. We don't plan ahead, but we live in the moment. We don't think about how our laziness will add up, but we only look at instant satisfaction. Lets not waste time.

In God's pattern book of nature we can trace many valuable lessons.
