Power On!ਨਮੂਨਾ

Are you an early worm, or more of a night owl? Sleep is good, and in fact rest was something God instituted back in the creation account (Gen 2:2). But sleep can easily slip into sleep-ins, and rest can creep into laziness if left unchecked.

Solomon here draws a comparison to ants, that for such a small creature can construct elaborate nests and store up a huge quantity of provisions - all without someone telling them what to do. Little by little, they achieve their goal.

Proverbs 6:10 also tells us that it’s by “a little” extra sleep or folding of the hands that poverty and scarcity attack!

Know that both completing something great or poverty and lack, are achieved in little increments. So today, make a choice to orient your little steps in the right direction!

Prayer:

Lord God, help me to treasure each day as a gift and an opportunity. Develop in me the motivation to work hard, and the wisdom to direct my steps; not into busy-work but into what will most bring You glory. Amen.
