Bible Question: Proverbs 30:24-28 lists four things that are small but wise. What are they and why are they wise? What is the lesson or message for us? --Hank |
Bible Answer: (25) Ants understand time, the seasons. They use the present, to prepare for the future. The story “The Ant and the Grasshopper” tells us one worked in the summer while the other played. There were five wise and five foolsh virgins, the later were not ready for the bridegrooms coming. Are we prepared for the cold/ hard times of life? Even more important are we prepared for the end time? (26) Rock badgers understand security. They know enough to hide themsleves in the crags, the cleft of the rock. They know they are weak, too. Where is our security? Do we get too far from the Rock of our salvation, so when the evil one comes we run to and fro? (27) Locusts understand unity. By themsleves, they can be stompped. A swarm of them can destroy quickly and completely. They do not have a leader. We are the body of Christ, each part needs to do its part, for if we do not, we all suffer. (28) Lizards understand place. Do you want to hold the slimy creature? I think not. That may be why they can be found in the best place to live. We are slimy creatures, we are sinners. One day we will live in the palace of the King. Steve |
