Proverbs 30: 24-28

Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise:
Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;
Coneys (rock badger) are creatures of little power, yet they make their homes in the crags;
Locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks;
A lizard can be caught with the hand, yet it is found in the king’s palaces

There is so much truth in this part of my reading today.

I am inspired by these little creatures mentioned here especially the ants because I am not the type of person who saves up. I squander my money most of the times, especially that time when I was newly employed. I was overwhelmed with the fact that I generate my own money. I am addicted to buying tees. I don’t give, on a regular basis, tithes and offering. Shame on me.

Recently, I regretted the fact that I did not save money for the Nazirite training. I could have saved the income I earned from the on-line job that I once had and did not have to beg professionally from relatives and friends. The company decided to cut me out for budget reasons. Now that I lost the job, I could just hope and pray it will come my way again.

The issues of my life, now that I am turning 26, include pursuing someone and eventually tying the knot. And these issues would surely need heaps of bucks to push through. But I do not have an amount in hand that would suffice. So I have to be stingy and save money for the future. Buy needs and not wants.

Little creatures cannot be underestimated. It is amazing what they can teach big creatures about.
