Day 352 Bible Reading

Proverbs 30: 24-28 (ESV)

“Four things on earth are small, but they are exceedingly wise:
the ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;
the rock badgers are a people not mighty, yet they make their homes in the cliffs;
the locusts have no king, yet all of them march in rank;
the lizard you can take in your hands, yet it is in kings' palaces.”

This is an interesting passage from Proverbs 30. I see this Bible passage as saying that no matter what your size is or your condition in life, if you have wisdom you can do many and mighty things. I know that I often think I can’t do something because I’m this, that, or the other, and I give up on doing the thing at all. Perhaps God is reminding me that if I pray and follow God’s wisdom, I will be able to do the thing I want to do. Okay, so maybe I can’t be a rock star or professional sports player or whatever, but at least I can become really good at the thing I am trying to do, and God will show me that this experience will teach me lessons I needed to learn to excel in the purpose he has for me.
