Have you ever had ants invade your room, making it hard for you to have easy access?
I will never forget the lessons I learnt the day ants invaded my room one night. It was a long night and so I woke up at dawn and just as i got out if the bed, I felt ants creeping and climbing up my legs! You could imagine what I did!

God uses the ant to teach us some important truths and gives us an example of how we could succeed.
In Proverbs 6:6-8 (KJV), God speaks through Solomon saying:
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
That night, I'm very sure that there was something that drew them - some food the ants could harvest and use. Even without a supervisor, guide or ruler, they are able to discipline themselves to work and moved in a straight line with everyone knowing and doing what was required of them to make them achieve their aim. Most importantly, they gather and have more in abundance for the rainy days.
Everyone has something important they act sluggishly about - you know and can remember some now.
Like the ants, let's us invade into the many untapped potentials, skills and talents and opportunities God has given us and do all we can to succeed in that pursuit. A sluggish attitude would only bring more poverty, unfulfilled dreams and regret.
Let's learn from the ant, God bless you.
