Topic: THE WISDOM BANK (Part 2)
Memory Verse: "Foolish people! How long do you want to be foolish? How long will you enjoy making fun of knowledge? Will you never learn?" - Proverbs 1:22 GNT
Bible Text: Proverbs 6:6-8 KJV
6. Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7. Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8. Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
INSPIRATION: The ability to have a water tight plan is not for the fainthearted. It is what separates those on a mission from those missing in action. Knowledge equips you to plan properly by weighing all the variables, but many scorn true knowledge to their own destruction. Visions and goals dictate our plans. The ant provides itself food in the summer but the plan is rolled out during harvest.
It's sad when you can't tell your harvest from your seed. But worse when you mismanage your harvest! This is the bane of many today, and it's the reason many are not great yet. Hence, Proverbs say, "Go to the ant and learn how to coordinate and organise yourself!" In other words, there's more wisdom in an ant that you can crush under your feet or with insecticides than in you with all the education and the Holy Spirit within you! There's no worse indictment than this!
TODAY'S TAKE HOME:
Imagine you seeking counsel over areas you're living beneath your privileges and all you're told is to go to the ant to learn! Your emotions should challenge your feelings.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, please give me the wisdom to differentiate my seed from my harvest and grant that I do not waste my harvest. I refuse to despise knowledge or scorn wise counsel henceforth, in Jesus name, Amen.
