The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer. We tend to take our lead from the great characters and personalities of the world. But the ancient wise man Agur pointed us in another direction.
Ants know instinctively that winter is coming, so they take advantage of the warmer weather.
They attend picnics. While you're wolfing down a hot dog and a soft drink, they're marching off with the potato chips. They will store them, and when the snows come, they will have enough food. If we've already done that, as believers in Christ we have much work to do. We can equip ourselves for difficult times by storing up God's Word in our heart.
