what IF...

Proverbs 6:7&8

"7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest."

Our study is on a much SMALLER subject; the ANT!

Our world is covered with ANTS! They are present on every continent EXCEPT one; ANTarctica! By GOD'S design ANTS are ecosystem engineers! They improve soil chemistry, they aerate soil and improve drainage, they disperse seeds, and prey upon pests like ticks, termites, scorpions and stinkbugs! It should not surprise us that we CAN learn a thing or two from ANTS! Yesterday's verse; "Go to the ANT, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be WISE:" We don't want to be a habitually lazy person or "sluggard." We do want to be "WISE." We need to pay attention to the ANT! 

Today's verses; "Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest." Imagine how it would be is people worked without having a supervisor, boss, leader, guide, coach. What IF people didn't need a guide to direct them in what to do; or anyone to oversee them, to make sure it's done right. What IF we were ready and willing to work!?!? Instead, what we have is everyone is the boss of all others. We LOVE to criticize, direct, exhort, instruct, and enforce! 

ANTS 🐜 harvest when that's the season and they store up for the winter. Did you do that? Did you put away a little extra when times were good for when times were bad? Is this your first time to experience a rescission? Will it be the last?
