Yes, Solomon suggests we watch the ways of the ant to see if we are living wisely (Proverbs 6:6). The ant, if you have noticed, is quite industrious. Watching a stream of them recently, I was impressed by how hard they worked. Not once did I see any of them slow down, get sidetracked or ‘lose heart.’ They had a job to do and they did it. They moved steadfastly over hill and valley to their destination. Are you prone to losing your momentum? Do you involve yourself in a task, but lose focus? Consider the ant.
