Proverbs 6:6 “Go to the ant, thou sluggard, consider her ways, and be wise.” There is a sermon to us in every part of nature if we will but consider it, for God has created it all, and has designed it to testify of Him. Yet, though man is the highest of God’s creation, and has almost infinite potential for wisdom, sin has so degenerated him that he must needs be taught by the lowliest of insects. “The ant does not borrow or beg, nor is it starved by neglecting to provide for its wants in time, but of its own accord burns with zeal for toil, without any one urging it. All the ants move on the same path. The ants that are without a load make way for those most laden. The burden which would be too difficult to carry they divide…They construct their houses and cells under ground, and fill their stores with grain, and have channels sunk to drain off the rain, and if their food becomes wet, they bring it out to dry,” [Faussett]. Marvelous natural wisdom.
