“Wisdom From the Ant”
“Wisdom From the Ant”
Blessings folk!
Father continues to exhort son.
Now he is speaking of slothfulness…laziness…
He starts with a word picture…then a word of warning…
Pro 6:6-11
Go to the ant, you lazy one,
Observe its ways and be wise,
Which, having no chief,
Officer, or ruler,
Prepares its food in the summer
And gathers its provision in the harvest.
How long will you lie down, you lazy one?
When will you arise from your sleep?
“A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,”
Then your poverty will come in like a drifter,
And your need like an armed man.
Observe the examples in God’s creation - the ant in this case.
Wisdom comes from such observation.
(A vivid picture of how the church should be&hellip
Then, awaken.
Know that if you are lazy, slothful, sleepy, then poverty will come.
God does provide.
But, we are not to presume/assume upon God by being lazy.
Do the work the Lord has provided.
Time’s a-wast’n…
