Heavenly Ant Lessons…
In Proverbs 6, it says, “Go to the ants, you sluggard. Go to the ants and learn.” Ants are pretty incredible. When an ant dies, the other ants waste no time. They take it right out of the nest and into the dump. Ants have no ant ceremony praising the deceased ant. They just throw him out into the dump.
You die, you are out and they waste no time. The ants are serious; they have nothing to do with dead ants. So learn wisdom. If you want to live a fruitful life, efficient in God, productive and successful then throw out that dead thing. That thing will only stop you from being fruitful.
If something is past, get on with it. Those things that cannot produce any life, take them and throw them out of your life. Dead also refers to anything that is not of life, something that is futile.
Bitterness and grudges are dead. That sin or habit, throw it out. No more funerals, no more mourning, just throw it out. Learn to be as wise as an ant and throw that dead thing into the dump.
See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. Hebrews 12:15
Is there any dead thing in your life, an ungodly habit, action, attitude, thought, etc – get that dead thing out of your life.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Love always,
Ed
