"Go to the ant, you sluggard; Consider its ways and be wise!" (V.6)

We continue looking at the vital principle of deferred satisfaction. We see this in the Animal kingdom and it is Brought out in the text before us today is That.The ant does not spend all its time eating. It runs back and forth carrying food into the nest so That It May survive the winter When there will be no food.Keep this picture of the ant Continually in your mind. It is One of Those images put into the Word of God to bring instruction to the heart. If you are young, prepare for the future in every way you can, not only by denying yourself to the Things That God puts out of bounds, but Also by giving yourself to the things you need to know about your profession Chosen.Whatever you plan to do in life - to prepare for it. Prepare by study and Also by prayer. Whatever your age, Whenever You Have to do anything in public, like speaking at a church meeting - prepared. Deny yourself pleasures, like watching television, and give yourself to the task in hand. There are no short cuts to success. I prepared myself for years by filling my heart and mind with the word of God, and then, When the time came, God called me to launch Bible These notes That you are now perusing. People say to me, "How can you continue to write year after year?" I know I would not be able to do so had I not, many years ago, denied myself so many things That I Could prepared.Whatever God asks you to do, do not take His blessings for granted - prepared.
