The Wise Ant 蚂蚁的智慧

TRY TO THINK THIS.. MY FRIENDS.. BE A GOOD THINKER..

Every year I do something special to celebrate the arrival of spring —I buy ant traps. Those little invaders continually march into our kitchen in search of any crumb left on the floor. They aren’t picky; a shard of potato chip, a grain of rice, or even a speck of cheese will do.
Although ants may be a nuisance, Solomon praised them for their steadfast work ethic (Prov. 6:6-11). He pointed out that ants are self-directed. They have “no captain, overseer, or ruler” (v.7), yet they are very productive. The ants also keep busy even when it’s not immediately necessary, providing supplies in the summer and gathering food in the harvest (v.8). By the time winter arrives, they’re not worried about what they will eat. Little by little, these hard workers have saved up enough to sustain themselves.
We can learn from the ant. When God gives us times of plenty, we can prepare for times when resources may be low. God is the provider of all that we have, including our ability to work. We are to work diligently, be wise stewards of what He has provided, and then rest in the promise of His care (Matt. 6:25-34).
Let’s remember Solomon’s advice: “Go to the ant . . . . Con-sider her ways and be wise” (Prov. 6:6).

每年，我都会做些特别的事，来庆祝春天的来临。我会买些诱蚁盒。这些小小的入侵者蚂蚁，在我们的厨房肆意横行，搜寻任何掉落在地板上的失误碎屑。它们不太挑剔，任何一点洋芋片，碎片，一粒米饭，甚至一小块起司都可以。
虽然蚂蚁令人讨厌，所罗门却赞美他们不懈的工作态度 （箴言6章6-11节）他指出蚂蚁是自动自发的，他们 [没有元帅，没有长官，没有君王] （7节），但是他们有很高的生产力。蚂蚁就算没有立即性的需要，他们持续忙碌地在夏天预备食物，在收割时聚歛粮食（8节）。当冬天来临，他们便无须担心食物的问题，因为这些辛勤的蚂蚁已经累积了足够存活的粮食。
我们可以向蚂蚁学习。当上帝让我们各样都充裕时，我们可以先为将来可能的短暂做好预备。上帝供给我们一切需要，包括了得以辛勤工作的能力，然后在上帝的应许照管之下安息（马太福音 6章25-34节）。
让我们记住所罗门的忠告：[你去察看蚂蚁的动作，就可得智慧] （箴言6章6节）。
