This Sunday we will have a guest preacher. He is embarrassingly short of stature, has six legs, and no voice. Yet this little messenger has a big message for us. Our preacher is the ant.
His Bible text is Proverbs 6:6-11:
6 Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. 7 Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, 8 she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest. 9 How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, 11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.
The story is told about a man just taking up the sport of golf. As you may know, it’s a lot harder than it looks. He got on the first tee box and placed his ball on the tee. He happened to tee it up right beside an anthill. When he took his first swing, he completely missed the ball and hit the anthill instead. Ants went flying in every direction. Unfazed, he took a second giant swing and, again, he missed and hit the anthill. As he wound up for a third try, one ant said to the other, “We’d better get on that ball or we’re gonna’ get killed!”
In short, that’s the message of the ant: “Get on the ball!” He offers us wisdom about work. Let’s learn the lesson God wants to teach us through the ant. Proverbs: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Days “Wisdom about Work” Proverbs 6:6-11
