Wisdom from Proverbs
The Wisdom of Ants

Proverbs 30:24–25
Is it just me? Or have some of you noticed that we live in the me-now world? The me part is that “it’s all about me.”
The now part of the me-now culture is we can have whatever we want now. No money down. Don’t pay for a full year. You can drive it away this weekend or have it delivered next week. A lot of Canadians seem to be buying into the Me-Now culture.
It can be challenging figuring out how to live when the cultural current flows in the me-now direction. But there are hopeful signs. It seems that a lot of people recognize the value of investing in others. We have seen many of you invest in others this past week at VBS. Several of our young people are investing in others at camps or on mission trips. Many of you are involved in ministries to others, yet it can be so easy to slide into the me-now culture stream. So, today we are going to learn a way to swim against the stream. In the spirit of VBS, I thought I would frame this truth in a little rhyme.
Not sure how to live life? Just want to rant? Then look at God’s wisdom displayed through the ants.
