The Wise Old Ant Leaders…
In an ant colony, the work is initiated by servant leaders who lead by example so the younger ants imitate them. By the time a worker reaches the age of five or six, it’s considered to be a wise servant leader. The greatest of them is the servant of all.
Proverbs 6 says, “Go to the ant and learn.” This can change your life. Do you want your spouse, your children, your employees, your congregation, your pastors, or your other brothers and sisters in the Lord to change? Well, go to the ants. They want the younger ones to do a lot. So they are examples. That’s the secret.
How about you? Do you want others to change, to be more loving, more spiritual? Then, you be more loving and spiritual. Parents, do you want your children to be godly? Set your heart on being godly.
Ministers, do you want your congregants to be more like apostles? You be more like Jesus. Be more like whatever you want from others. Become that person first. Because it all starts when we start learning how to be as wise as an ant.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways, submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
Set today to be an example of Jesus to all those around you.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Love always,
Ed
