The ants are a very unique and special group of animals, when I was younger I spent lots of time watching and learning from these creatures and I learnt a lot from them, even the bible agrees, I would like to share some with you.
Ants Have Their Eyes On The Future: The first statement says, "they prepare their meet in the summer". In other words, they work hard during the summer when food is available and ensure there is food during the winter periods. Have you ever wondered how these tiny creature came about such intelligence? How come an organism with a brain size smaller than a pin head can think more than most people whose brain is a million times larger and more complex? Most people don't work/ plan for the future, all they are after is the pleasures and gratifications of today. Do you know that what you are now (including your academic performance, health status, marital challenges etc) are the result of what you did in the past. Therefore your future will be dependent on what you are presently doing now. Brian Tracy said, "what you will be in the next 5 years will be dependent on what you read and the people you share your time with. I usually tell people that the little comfort you have now is not worth sacrificing your future for. In other words, your future is more important than your present. If your future goes worse, then you have failed and God will judge you very harshly because he created and expect you to be better than the ants.
They Are Focused: Have you ever seen ants on the march? They look unstoppable, they march in a straight line, they don't get distracted with the twigs and stones on their way, instead they march over these obstacles with ease without breaking ranks. They are never occupied with any other activity such as mating, feeding, fighting etc. They are 'dangerously' focused at pursuing the purpose of the march. Someone defined focus as "following one course until successful". Focus means concentrating all your attention and energy on a particular process. What is your major definite purpose in life, what goal are you pursuing? If you can answer that question, write out those things that you require to achieve them, let these be your focus until your goal is achieved.
They Work Hard: Ever watched an ant at work? He sinks its jaws into a piece of bread 10 times bigger than himself and drags it home. Once an ant sets its sight on what it wants, it is ready to die for that course. Do you notice how difficult it is to eliminate every single ant from your pack of sugar? have you wondered why an ant is ready to attack any thing that moves whether you are an elephant or a fly? Its not far fetched, they are ready to take the risk. Achieving success always involve risk.
How hard are you working for your financial future, are you still blaming the Government for your woes? The Government cannot provide for every body (moreover I am against seeking jobs) do you know you can become financially independent? The major problem is fear of risks. Do you know that fear is a sin. Revelations 21:8. Go ahead and take a risk, it will make you wiser, smarter and richer.
Taxonomist say that the most successful organism in the animal kingdom are the ants. For every human being there are a million ants. These and many more are the success secret of the ant. Lets learn from them...so says the bible.
