Go to the Ant
Proverbs 6:6-11
Summary:
Did you know that doing work is a very good thing? I know it may not feel like it, because there is some work that is hard or boring or we just don't like it sometimes. There will always be some parts about work that we don't enjoy, because we live in a sinful world, and we are sinful people. But God made meaningful work for us all to do. Today in Proverbs we are going to think about work, and take a lesson from an unlikely creature: the ANT!
Outline:
1. Consider the ant
2. Consider the sluggard
3. Consider yourself
4. Consider the Lord
Verse:
Proverbs 6:6–8 Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. 7 Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, 8 she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.
Discussion questions:
1. What is the main work God has given you to do, and what is your general attitude about it?
2. Take some time for self evaluation: would you tend toward the temptations of laziness or being a workaholic? How might they have similar sinful roots?
3. What are the lessons we learn from the ant? From the sluggard?
4. How does the Gospel inform the motives for our work? How does God's character inform our work?
