You lazy people can learn by watching an anthill. Ants don't have leaders, but they store up food during harvest season. Proverbs 6:6-8
_ants were among the four smallest insects that the Bible praise and looks up to. Proverbs 30:25. it has so many lessons to offer and are practically helpful. they are so small that they can be used as great examples.
_observing a line of ants shows us how they perform in their task. they have no leader but they are much organized than a flock with someone on the lead. they all absorbed the plan. each of them is participating. everyone is at peace. they do not have time to look at others, but only follow the good steps of those ahead of them. they do not have bad news to say but only good instructions maybe where to go. they do not criticize but are busy doing their work. yes, they know, do and finish their work. what they have to do are all in their mind that they have no time to do those that are bad. if we could be ants, we won't need leaders. if we know, do and finish our works, we don't need to be pushed, then we don't really need a leader.
_looking closer at the ants, they are the best picture of what partnership is. their lifespan is only 45 days to two months. all their life most of them gather foods that are stored for the time that they would need it most. they are alot into helping, sharing and being so unselfish. as you now, summer would last three two four months then rain would come. perhaps and more probably, those that gathered the stored food for winter and rainy seasons would be dead then. they worked hard, finding, carrying and storing up goods not for them but for their future generation. see, being a partner isn't you looking for help but you offering help. partnership, as ants would suggest is helping others and not being helped by others.
_an anthill as a whole will make us see and really understand what is it being prepared. they have "workers" that finds and stores up food. this is a preparation for the time that they cannot go out and find food. obviously, they do this to prepare and rule out hunger. they have "soldiers" that roam around, in and out of the colony. not only for them to know if the danger but guard and defend the colony. they bite most painful and maybe runs faster to warn others. they have "pupa-sitters". they take care of the nursery, the eggs that the queen has laid. they make sure that these pupa are all comfortable and are safe. these are done to ensure continuance of their species.
_picking an ant would make you ashamed of yourself if you think you knew what perseverance is. amist the dangers, disasters and disturbances, no matter how many, no matter how intense and frequent, you won't find an ant go away from its purpose far and won't come back. they will always and be sure will come back to their line and to the purpose why they are living. no, they will not come back home without something in their back after a day long of finding none. they will look for and will find one before they come back home.
_an ant. learn from an ant. if possible, act like an ant. a little statistic about ants, aside from they carry twenty times their own wieght, their brains are just 20 million cells. but scientists believe that ants are using more than the twenty million brains cells thay they have.
_amazed? then follow small ants' great examples!
