The Wisdom of the Ant ( verse 6-8 )
If you pay attention to an ant, you will rarely find it crawling aimlessly and without a purpose. The best time to take note is when they are in a group. They look like soldiers marching on a mission. The weird thing is that the ant has no commander or ruler to direct them on how to operate. These insects collect its provisions in the summer and gathers food at harvest. That’s amazing! However, we humans sometimes portray the role of the sluggard; moving slow to get things done or even into action. Procrastination, yea I’m trying to get better at that myself! Generally, we don’t establish a purpose for why we’re doing certain things which ends up being a distraction and a waist of time. The ant on the other hand knows exactly what he’s doing and why. It’s time for me to bookmark ant websites..lol.

- Hands that shed innocent blood – Murderers
- A heart that devises wicked schemes – Someone who is always plotting to do bad things to others
- Feet that are quick to rush into evil – Self-explanatory
- A False witness who pours out lies – In 2007, that’s practically the definition of a “hater”.

You WILL get caught buddy ! (verse 27-29)
“Can a man scoop fire into his lap without being burned?
Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?
So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife;
no one who touches her will go unpunished.”
Just ponder on these verses…(verse 32-33)
“But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself. Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away.”
Holla Back!
