Ants, Rock Badgers, Locusts, and Lizards!

Ants, Rock Badgers, Locusts, and Lizards!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who pay attention to the world around them. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Who would think that ants, rock badgers, locusts, and lizards would find their way into King Solomon’s Proverbs?

Proverbs 30:24-28 (ESV) shows King Solomon’s ability as an observer and his wisdom.

“Four things on earth are small,
but they are exceedingly wise:
the ants are a people not strong,
yet they provide their food in the summer;
the rock badgers are a people not mighty,
yet they make their homes in the cliffs;
the locusts have no king,
yet all of them march in rank;
the lizard you can take in your hands,
yet it is in kings’ palaces.”

Is it time you paid greater attention to what is around you?

Take a while this week and think deeply about what lessons can be learned from nature.
