The great thing about “Truth” is that it is Truth.
Doesn’t matter where it comes from or who said it, when it is Truth you cannot
argue with it, you either accept it or reject it. All Truth comes from God, and though the source to validate
all Truth is the Scriptures, it is not the only source of Truth. Wisdom gives
us that example right here. When confronting people who are lazy, wisdom
instructs them to learn from the ants.
Many a proud man might arrogantly state, “What can an insect teach
me?” That is exactly the point of
Truth, whether it be from a genius or the example of an insect…
If it is Truth it is well worth
paying attention to. Here wisdom highlights how an insect needs neither a king
nor a governor to make it work. As little sense that it may have, it still has
enough sense to know if it wants to have food when the season comes where there
is no food, it would be wise to work now, while it can, and store food for the
time when food will not be easily available. This is a great principle that all
of us need to pay heed to, and it should not be applied to only food. Whether it be money, study time, family time or whatever, when you know there may be a
season that will not allow you to accomplish that which you might need then, it
would be wise to invest the time now, so you will be prepared when the
difficult season arises.
A perfect example is the seasons we have with our
families. The years of adolescence are not the time to try and build trust;
that begins while they are in the womb. If you invested your time with your
children when they were young, building a loving, trusting relationship, when
the bumps that occur for everyone with the age of adolescents, you will have a
greater chance of keeping your relationship with your child a healthy one.
Don’t wait…look down and observe the ant!
