As You are looking at this picture, you are probably starting to itch. Your mind is remembering a time in your life when you've been bit by an ant before and all of a sudden you feel like something is crawling on you...so you're probably swatting and scratching and feeling things crawl on your feet right about now! LOL...
Isn't it crazy that you can feel all of these things knowing that in reality there probably isn't an ANT in sight or even around you? I find it interesting because when we see ants or a swarm of bugs of some sort, we immediately interpret bad, but what if we looked at our fiery little friends and saw THE GOOD that They Do?!?!?
I watched a documentary a few months ago covering exactly how the ant works and constructs his home. It was interesting to see them in action up close and personal. It reminded me of the movie "Honey I Shrunk The Kids" Because I had a face to face view of what goes on in the ant world on a daily basis.
As I was at the bus stop again. I observed the little creatures in their element raiding a trash can and it got me thinking about the scriptures in the bible where it tells us to look at the ant as an example and it struck a real life lesson for me that day.
They're up before we awake, everyone synced in line like a swiss army, everyone doing his part. You rarely see them working by themselves or lagging around. They are one of the tiniest creatures in this earth yet one of the wisest and hard working. They have a structure and system setup in which there is rare competition because everyone knows their place and their role. They have a sense of order and authority that rivals the US Army and have communication down to a science!
I admire them for their ability to forecast and gather in the summer even though winter is 2 seasons away. They are savers and have a heart to rebuild no matter what the weather conditions are! They are an inspiration to me and should be to you as well as to what it really takes to be successful in all aspects of life.
SO How does this ALL Apply to our RUN? We have to open our eyes to see the little things that we can draw strength or encouragement from. It may be as small as the ant, but it can teach us weighty lessons that will carry us through to success. Take the time today to notice the small things that you normally look over or take for granted. Get inspired by looking at the small "seemingly" insignificant aspects of our day and TRULY pull out Meaningful lessons that will impact your life and others lives for years to come!
