Proverbs 30:25
The ants are
a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer.
Bible Reading for a Year [bible]psalm116[/bible];
[bible]iipet3[/bible]; [bible]ezeki38-39[/bible]
A bug zoo in
Philadelphia with more than 100,000 live insects entertains 75,000 visitors a
year. The Insectarium’s founder and proprietor says, “I’ve got a million more
bugs still in storage.”
He points to
boxes, cookie tins, and other containers piled floor-to-ceiling, filled with
dead bugs from around the globe. Movies, holograms, microscopes, and games keep
people of all ages occupied. There’s even a scale to weigh yourself in
ladybugs, fireflies, and other creatures.
In Proverbs
30, a wise man named Agur also showcases insects and other small creatures. He
calls them small but very wise.
Look at the
ant. He’s weak, but his Creator has taught him to use whatever strength he has
to prepare for the future. Consider the locust. He has no king, but when his
numbers multiply, God has taught him how to line up and move as one. Look at
the spider. He too is a lowly creature, but by using the ability God gives him,
he rises to high places.
Do you
sometimes feel small and insignificant like an insect? When you do, remember
that God showcases His wisdom and greatness through even the smallest things.
That’s because His “strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Cor. 12:9).
God’s wisdom is given to those who
humbly ask Him for it.
