Consider the Ant

Why consider the ant?  Because there are a few things we can learn from the ant. 

…..The ant is small yet wise.

…..The ant does not have a leader, supervisor or ruler yet she still manages to eat food in the summer.

….. The ant has the wisdom to know when it is harvest time.

…..At the time of the harvest, she knows she needs to gather her food.

What can we humans learn from one of God’s smallest creatures?

.....If I am lazy I can get wise by watching, studying and imitating the ant.

…..I do not need someone telling me what to do in order for me to be productive.  I have the innate ability to be productive.  Productivity is on the inside of me.

.....I need to know when it's time to eat and when it's harvest time.  In other words, I need to know the different seasons.

.....I need to work when it is time to work and eat when it is time to eat.

.....If I do not learn this lesson, poverty will be my constant companion and, I will always be in "want" mode.

.....Poverty and the constant "want" mode will rob me.
