Today we read Proverbs 6 and are reminded of some potent things that the Lord does not like. READ IT HERE What stuck out to me the most was the kick in the pants to the lazy and the simple lesson that can be learned from ants. They have no supervision, no apparent leader and no one to encourage them, yet they never stop. They work and
work to accomplish what is set before them. They never seem to tire. I wonder if ants sleep at night? Now that I think about it, I’m not sure if I have ever seen a sleeping ant, or know what that would look like for that matter.
Anyway – What if we had the same stamina for doing what God calls us to do? If for a moment we were to evaluate ourselves and what we do, what would we find? Would we be as productive at home as we are at work? Would we read as much of the Bible as we do magazines? Are we as motivated to improve our relationship with God as we are with facebook.com? Do we spend as much time silent in front of God as we do in front of our Samsung’s, Sony’s and Vizio’s? [TV's for the brand/metaphor illiterate] So in the end how would we tip the scale? The question is not whether we have to energy, but what we choose to do with it. There are times and places for each of these things. The point is to balance them in a healthy way.
Hopefully as part of the Element Church challenge we will all increase the health of the balancing act we call our lives. Spend a bit more time with God, create or regain the daily habit of reading the Bible and most importantly become better friends with God.
