Four Little Things that Teach Big Wisdom
Proverbs 30:24–28
Day 1 – The Ant (Preparation & Diligence)
Scripture:
“The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer.” – Proverbs 30:25
Reflection:
The ant may be small, fragile, and almost unnoticed, yet it operates with extraordinary wisdom. It knows that seasons change and prepares before the need arises. Many Christians stumble, not because the enemy is stronger, but because they fail to prepare for life’s inevitable shifts. Trials will come, winter will surely arrive—but only those who store up in summer will stand in winter.
The ant does not consume all it gathers; it saves and invests for tomorrow. It teaches us that foresight is a weapon, and diligence is protection.
Application:
Spiritually: Build a solid prayer life before the storm hits.
Financially: Save, invest, and avoid wastefulness.
Relationally: Sow love and kindness now—you will need that harvest later.
Prayer Point:
“Lord, grant me wisdom to prepare for the future. Help me maximize this season and never waste divine opportunities.”
Declaration:
I am wise and diligent like the ant. I will prepare today, I will not be caught unready, and I will enjoy the harvest of foresight.
— Evangelist Paul Adeayo
