Quote from today's Daily Bread - The Wise Ant
The ants keep busy even when it's not immediately necessary, providing supplies in the summer and gathering food in the harvest. By the time winter arrives, they're not worried about what they will eat. Little by little, these hard workers have saved up enough to sustain themselves.
We can learn from the ant. When God gives us times of plenty, we can prepare for times when resources may be low. God is the provider of all that we have, including our ability to work. We are to work diligently, be wise stewards of what He has provided, and then rest in the promise of His care (Matt. 6:25-34).
Let's remember Solomon's advice: “Go to the ant . . . . Con-sider her ways and be wise” (Prov. 6:6).
The humble ant's keen industry
Can teach us all a lesson,
If in creation we will see
God's classroom is in session. —Gustafson
Have a good day and weekend all.
