THE ANT…THAT’S SOMETHING


Proverbs 6:6

“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:” 


Let me start by saying that ants are not my favorite insect.  

I am an admirer of butterflies.


The Bible does not specifically mention butterflies.

However, studying their metamorphosis 

mirrors our new birth in Christ.


The ant however, that’s something.

We are told to 

consider her ways and be wise.v6


Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,v7

Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest v8 


The ant…that’s something.

God uses this small creature to teach life lessons.


Small things matter. 

Every creature has significance.

The ant lives and thrives all over the world.

Ants are adaptable.

They work together. 

They collaborate.

They show up. 


Ants are not deterred from doing what they need to do whether we like it or not.

They don’t have an “ant boss.”

They are trusted by God to perform their duties in the way it was ordained.


The ant…that’s something.

They are referred to as strong and mighty.

Let us consider their ways.


Be bold.

Adaptable.

Do the job God has assigned.

Work together.

Collaborate.


‘Tis the season to get busy serving the Lord.


God bless.

In Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...
