Lessons From The Ants

Greetings to all, we have made it to the end of another week. Thank God for providing us with the strength and everything needed to complete the work set before us this week. Amen

Today is the end of the workweek, while for others, their workweek continues. Whether working a job, for ourselves, or caring for loved ones, it's our ministry before God, and we should work at it by doing our very best.

As Christians, we know that the Lord will reward our labors when we diligently and persistently persevere. "So, let's not get tired of doing what is good. We will reap a harvest of blessing at just the right time if we don't give up (Galatians 6:9).

Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NCV)

10 Whatever work you do, do your best because you are going to the grave, where there is no working, no planning, no knowledge, and no wisdom.

We are encouraged to live our lives to the fullest, and work is a part of it. The word tells us that if we want to prosper, whatever we do, we should not be lazy.

Proverbs 13:4 (NLT2)

4 Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.

The word also tells us to watch the ants because they exhibit practical characteristics that we can benefit from and apply to prosper and be successful in our everyday lives.

Ants work together in groups with no leader; they make preparations by respecting and considering the seasons by storing food; ants don't waste their time and are very productive.

Proverbs 30:24-25 (GW)

24 Four things on earth are small, yet they are very wise:

25 Ants are not a strong species, yet they store their food in summer.

Proverbs 6:6 (NLT2)

6 Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise!

Lesson: We are encouraged to consider and watch the ants; they are always busy moving and getting things done.

As Christians, we should be present, productive, and ready to work diligently in God's kingdom, our personal lives, and our jobs.
