Small, Yet They Are Exceedingly Wise

 

Four things on earth are small, yet they are exceedingly wise: the ants are a people without strength, yet their provide their food in the summer; the badgers are a people without power, yet they make their homes in the rocks; the locusts have no king, yet all of them march in rank; the lizard can be grasped in the hand, yet it is found in kings’ palaces.

 

Proverbs 30:24-28

 

There are many small, but wise living creatures on the earth.

 

Look at the ant. He is weak, but his Creator has taught Him to use whatever strength he has to prepare for the future. The locust has no king, but when his numbers multiply, God has taught him how to line up and move as one. Look at the spider. He can use the power gave him to rise to high places.

 

Do you sometimes feel small and insignificant like an insect? When you do, remember that God showcases His wisdom and greatness through even the smallest of things.

 

God’s wisdom is given to those

who humbly ask Him for it.
