Go To The Ant

“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:” Proverbs‬ ‭6:6‬ ‭KJV‬

Consider the ant. What a powerful example the Bible uses to explain “practical wisdom” through the work ethic of an ant. The Bible uses this seemingly small, natural example to unpack life altering, generation shifting spiritual principles that shift and challenge the life course and destiny of our families. 

Let’s consider the ways of the ant—wisdom. When you lead a life patterned after wisdom, even in the small things, you will lead a life full of success. Think about it. The Bible uses one of the world’s smallest creatures—the ant—in order to demonstrate how to apply practical wisdom in our everyday lives. 

The ant, seemingly small but rigidly consistent, disciplined, and diligent, tackles every obstacle without excuse. Examine the ant and notice its size. Though small in stature, the ant overcomes, seemingly insurmountable obstacles and harvests without excuse. Almost everything in its world is larger than this creature and yet the ant diligently executes and gathers without excuse. The ant finds a way. Wisdom finds a way. When confronted with obstacles, wisdom diligently innovates and tackles each assignment without excuse. 

Notice in Proverbs 6:6 KJV, the Bible uses the word: ‘Consider’, “...consider her ways, and be wise.” According to Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word for ‘Consider‘ (H7200) means: “to look at, inspect, or perceive.” When you consider, inspect, look at and study The Word of God, and apply its principles, you will obtain God’s results in every area of your life. Take each step in faith knowing that God is with you and He will guide and direct your steps. Trust Him in all seasons.
