THE SEED
“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.” – Proverbs 6:6 (KJV)
In this insightful visit to the ants, Proverbs 6:6 calls us to observe and learn the industrious nature of these small creatures. We can see from their planned activities the art of diligence and the importance of efficient work. The lesson goes beyond mere observation; it’s an invitation to incorporate the wisdom derived from the ant’s disciplined approach to life into our lives.
As the ant prepares for the future, so too should we approach our tasks with foresight, avoiding unnecessary entanglements and distractions. Our heavenly Father has entrusted us with assignments that demand purpose and determination. Proverbs encourages us not to be sluggards but to seize the opportunities presented by each day. The urgency to work diligently is also emphasised by our Lord Jesus in the book of John 9:4, reminding us that the night will inevitably come when our ability to work will cease.
BIBLE READINGS: Proverbs 6:1-11
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, grant me the wisdom of the ants, teach me to work diligently and plan effectively to navigate life’s challenges with discernment. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
