"There are four small creatures, wisest of the wise they are." (Prov. 30:24)

        Yesterday, my Bible study friends and I studied WISDOM by way of four tiny creatures described in Proverbs 30:24-28:

The ant - frail, but by 

planning and preparations,

has plenty of food for the winter.

The marmot - vulnerable, but by

strategy and diligence

makes an impenatrable fortress in the rocks.

The locust - has no king, but by

organization and following lines of authority,

can strip a field like an army regiment.

The lizard - easy to catch, but by

resourcefulness and exercising God-given abilities,

sneaks by guards into palaces.

         Today, with an out-of-town funeral tomorrow and friends and family coming for the weekend, I have the opportunity to practice what I preached: plan, prepare, strategize, diligently organize, follow my lines of authority, be resourceful, and exercise the abilities God's given me, and by God's wisdom and grace, my to-do list will be accomplished for His glory!

What's on your plate? Look to God's tiny, wise creatures and accomplish much!
