Pin It Now!
So, what's in it for us you may ask. Well these tiny creatures mentioned in today's scripture has some lessons for us.
Ants: Save for rainy days - self-preservation.Instinctively foreseeing the evil, they set themselves might and main to get ready against it. The voice says to us, "Look onward. Now is the summer of grace, the gathering-time of salvation."
Rock Badgers: They are full of timorousness and fear. They show their wisdom by running at the least sound of danger into the crannies of the rocks. This working of the law of self-preservation says to us, "Beware! Be not self-confident! Get away into the clefts of the rock Christ Jesus."
Locusts: The locusts go in well-marshalled and compacted companies. Union, harmony, co-operation are among the chief things in the economy of the locusts. One impulse stirs them. They all act, and act together. Ye are Christ's temple and union is the cement that knits together the severed parts.
So, today's lessons learnt are: be wise; be confident in the Rock of our salvation; be united with God's church and be diligent in your purpose that glorifies God.
There are four things which are little on the earth,
But they are exceedingly wise:
The ants are a people not strong,
Yet they prepare their food in the summer;
The rock badgers are a feeble folk,
Yet they make their homes in the crags;
The locusts have no king,
Yet they all advance in ranks;
The spider skillfully grasps with its hands,
And it is in kings’ palaces. Proverbs 30:24 - 28Rock Badgers: They are full of timorousness and fear. They show their wisdom by running at the least sound of danger into the crannies of the rocks. This working of the law of self-preservation says to us, "Beware! Be not self-confident! Get away into the clefts of the rock Christ Jesus."
Locusts: The locusts go in well-marshalled and compacted companies. Union, harmony, co-operation are among the chief things in the economy of the locusts. One impulse stirs them. They all act, and act together. Ye are Christ's temple and union is the cement that knits together the severed parts.
Spiders: The chief property of the spider's working is completeness — diligent, persistent completeness. Learn to have a purpose, and bend to it all your powers.
So, today's lessons learnt are: be wise; be confident in the Rock of our salvation; be united with God's church and be diligent in your purpose that glorifies God.
Amen. Have a blessed weekend everyone. God bless you!
