Ants travel in irregular patterns. Forward and back. Around in circles. Doubling back. Does God see us doing much the same? How foolish we are! We need to stay on one track--heavenward. Everything we say, do, believe and expect should be making a path to heaven's gate. It is the ultimate destination.
Frivolous activity lost spirit
Wasted lives unrelenting souls
Worrisome ways hard heads
Doubting hearts disbelieving pilgrims
No way to approach the life we are given.
Prayerful spirits understanding souls
Loving hearts forgiving minds
Purposeful tasks trusting ways
Faithful lives grateful beings
This makes for a great life, lived on the road to the Promised Land.
I don't do it all right. I'm not even sure it's a 50/50 split but I do attempt
re-dos and beg for mercy living to survive this heaven bound thing we call life.
Maybe one day I'll feel a bit of progress and continue on the road, a mile or two closer to that great reward-eternal life.
Remember
John 3:16
BELIEVE
Colossians 3:17
DO
1 Thessalonians 5:17
PRAY
Since writing this a few days ago, I noticed another ant behavior. They don't like the heat. They travel in the shadow and the minute they feel the sun, they change directions back to the shade. We can also learn an important lesson from that. Stay out of the heat of Satan's influence and follow the cool leading of Christ's love.
