“Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise: the ants are not a strong people, yet they store up their food in the summer; hyraxes are not a mighty people, yet they make their homes in the cliffs; locusts have no king yet all of them march in ranks; a lizard can be caught in your hands, yet it lives in kings’ palaces.” (Proverbs 30:14-28).
All of these creatures live by instinct, not by reason. Man possesses reason, yet we do not act as smart as these creatures.
Ants understand the value of preparation. The time to prepare for retirement is while you still have a job.
Build your house for how it lasts, not for how it looks.
There is power in numbers and organization. Don’t be a lone ranger. Be a team player.
You don’t have to be rich to enjoy the finer things of life. Just keep your eyes and your options open.
Collectively the brains of these creatures are smaller than your little fingernail. The only way we can be dumber than an ant or a lizard is to do so deliberately! To a degree all wisdom means is to use your God-given brain! That should not be so hard.
