The Ant!

Good Morning!  I trust you awakened this morning with your heart full of Praise and Thanksgiving to our wonderful Lord!  What a sweet and blessed privilege it is to be "A Child of the King"!

The book of Proverbs contains many wonderful little sayings concerning wisdom.  In the 6th chapter, we find this interesting bit of instruction:  "Go to the ant -- consider her ways, and be wise."

     A story is related in "Cassell's Natural History" of a gentleman who laid a piece of sweetmeat on the table, and then picked up an ant and placed it on the sweetmeat.  He was surprised to see the little creature go down by one of the legs of the table and seek his fellows.  They appeared to have understood the news.  He then at once turned back, followed by a long train of his fellow citizens and took them to the prize. 

I believe there is a lesson that we can learn from the little ant in this story.  If we know the sweetness of salvation -- if we have tasted and know that the Lord is good -- we will desire to share it with others!   Let us ask the Lord to use us and make us a blessing to someone today!
