March 12, 2013 – Proverbs 6

I love the lesson of watching the ant and learning from it to work and gather for the winter. Looking at nature, it is easy to see these lessons. It is easy to see what makes tales like Aesop’s fables so classic and universal. Sit under a tree and watch nature for a while and you will be educated on how to live life. Mother birds caring for their young, squirrels storing nuts, caterpillars forming a cocoon, nature all around us is a teaching lesson on what life is and how it should be lived. Which makes sense since God gave us nature for just that reason. That is why Paul writes that even before the scripture, people had a sense of who God was because of looking at the world around them.
