ants
My flat is invaded with ants. They are everywhere.
They are easy to spot on the hardwoods, they are busy things, and they are never alone. Maybe we can learn from this. In Proverbs 6, the ants are referenced as hard working - they don’t even have a master, but they work hard anyway. Then, likewise, we who have a Father who is in heaven, should work hard to please the Lord. They are never alone, they are working together. When you talk about ants you always talk about them in the plural. I’m learning to see truth and design in ant-life. I think this is life as God intends it. Working together, for a common goal, being like-minded (Phil 2) and in community. May we be like the ants and invade lives with the truth of the gospel and the unity of a common goal.
I love when people use common-day occurrences as analogies to God. Bonus points for taking a less-than-pleasant experience and relating it. It was very insightful.
