Good Life Journal – Proverbs 6

Prov 6
Scripture:
[6] Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
[7] It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
[8] yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

Observation:
Wisdom for lazy people with no focus in life.  If you’re having trouble, look at an ant – he is a hard worker and doesn’t need someone telling him what to do.  He just does it.

Application:
The application is simple – set some goals, work hard, and don’t be lazy.  We have God given gifts and we are called to use them, applying them as in glorifying God.  It’s not okay to sit back, be lazy, and not use the gifts God has graciously given us.

Prayer:
Lord thank you for your provision.  I know that all I have comes from you ad that you expect me to work hard and use the gifts you have given me. Lord I seek your will and  I know it would displease you if I were to sit back like a sluggard, not work hard, and not use the gifts you have given me.  I pray in Jesus’ might name that I never loose sight of this. Amen.
