Get're Done

Good Morning!! We live in rare age of the world, in which slothfulness has become, not only common, but even a goal for many. Young people have become accustomed to doing just enough work to "get by." Older folks look to their retirement, as the end to all their problems. But the solution that Solomon gives us is: go to the ants, you who wish to forsake work, and consider their ways in order to become wise.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!—Proverbs 6:6 (NIV)

Ants do not procrastinate,...they do what they can, when they can. In contrast, we often don't do anything,...because we can't do everything at once. The ant labors little-by-little to get each job accomplished, each need met, each provision made. In fact, she is so slow and methodical in her duties, many won't even have the patience to watch and consider her,...as Solomon instructs.

Both success, and failure, come little-by-little.
Like a garden, it just takes a little neglect to grow a lot of trouble.

O' Lord, help us to find that little thing we can you do today, to heal our marriages, help our children, draw closer to You Lord God. Allow us to learn from the ant. Amen.

"The less we trust, the more we fear."
