Zechariah 6:1-7:14, Revelation 15:1-8, Psalm 143:1-12, Proverbs 30:24-28
“There are four things that are small but unusually wise: Ants: they aren’t strong, but store up food for the winter. Cliff badgers: delicate little animals who protect themselves by living among the rocks. The locusts: though they have no leader, they stay together in swarms. The lizards: they are easy to catch and kill, yet are found even in king’s palaces!” Proverbs 30:24-28
We can take away amazing lessons from these creatures whom God gave such wise instincts. First, we see the ant who is always busy preparing for his future. You won’t catch an idle ant. As a matter of fact, the sluggard is told to watch the ant so he can learn how to redeem his time. Secondly, the badger turns to the cover of the rocks for protection. As we acknowledge our weaknesses and turn to Christ, our Rock, we will find the grace and safety we need. The locust isn’t very impressive alone, but in a crowd they are fierce. Stay close in the flock. God gave us each other for companionship, comradery, and accomplishment. We can do more together! And, lastly, the lizard, as defenseless as they are, have the ability to slip past guards to dwell in the richest of places. As we are dependent on Christ, He will lead us into places and situations, and introduce us to people we would’ve never dreamed. He has a plan and can do more than we could ever imagine.
PRAYER: Lord, give me the revelation of these creatures and what You would have me to glean from their character. I surrender to You and pray You will lead me all the days of my life. My heart is fixed on You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
