24 Four things on earth are small, but they are exceedingly wise: 25 the ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer; ~ Proverbs 30:24
Solomon wasn’t talking about physical food; he was talking about spiritual food. Our spiritual food is a little complicated. First, it is the Word of God. The Word of God is the literal word that God speaks, but it is also Jesus. Jesus is the bread of life. So, dwelling in the literal Word of God, The Bible, as well as spending time with Jesus, is the beginning of gaining wisdom.
See, the ants don’t wait until the winter is here to gather their food. What am I talking about? They don’t wait for temptation, tribulation, hardships, pain, suffering, grief, or tragedy to come. They prepare their food; they store it up from summer. They store up the Word of God inside of them so that when trials come, they have food. They won’t grow hungry and starve. They won’t be choked out by the weeds that grow up next to them. They’ll overcome and receive that crown of life.
On that Great and Glorious Day, when we all stand before the throne of God, those that take heed from the ants will be the ones to hear the words, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Enter in.’ All you have to do is accept Jesus’ free gift of Salvation and then follow Him.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Gather Like The Ants.
