“Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!”—Proverbs 6:6(NIV)
Consider what we could learn from an ant. The ant is such a simple creature and by itself it is an insignificant, but hard working insect.
The ant can work and work. Of course, working hard in your calling is pleasing to God. This is a lesson from the ant that we should know.
The ant can lift many times its own body weight. The ant is also stubborn and will eventually move that big stick.
But the ant’s real strength comes from community. Ants commonly come together to defend the nest. Ants will swarm an intruder. Ants work together to a common end. Teamwork is a characteristic of the ant.
We should always look for opportunities to learn from the wisdom of God’s creatures. There are learning opportunities everywhere; even the lowly ant can teach us about work ethics, strength, and teamwork.

A sound message here. We can learn from the smallest creature to the weakest person. If we work together for the common good, we will accomplish so much like the ant. Thanks for sharing.
