Sluggards! You’re back! Clearly, you’ve embraced the idea that you are, indeed, a sluggard and you’re back to obtain morsels of wisdom from the ant. If you so desire, (and haven’t already) consider checking out reasons I think King Solomon chose the ant as a source of wisdom and my interpretation of what life might be like as an ant . In this post, l delve into the wisdom King Solomon directly pens in Proverbs. The wisdom of King Solomon regarding the ant states: Three morsels of provision I’m storing from this portion of scripture follow, presented first is the human application followed by an “Ant Mode” challenge. 1. N o one tells the ant what to do, yet it still acts. Human Application Imagine how your life would be different if every time you saw something that needed doing you just did it.
