WFW: Go to the ant…

Posted in Christian Life

Go to the Ant
Proverbs 6:6-8

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.

~ Proverbs 6:6-8 ~

This past week, we spent time out in the dessert.  D was teaching Munchkin to ride her dirt bike, and I decided to take a photo tour of the area.  I was walking around looking for heart shapes in nature for this week’s Foto Friday Challenge when I stumbled upon this ant hill.  The ants were scurrying about collecting food.  They worked together to repair the part of the ant hill that I accidentally stepped on while walking.  As I watched their hard work, the above scripture came to mind.  How much time do I spend wasting away instead of accomplishing the things that the Lord has for me and my family?  I need to strive to be more like the little ant…
