The Ant Hero & The Dumb Ant

Friday, December 18, 2020

I was once attempting to show mercy... to an ant. I was trying to lead it around its obstacles to freedom outside. I was trying to be an ant hero. But the problem was I was dealing with an especially dumb ant. It kept going the wrong way, no matter what I did. Now ants do indeed have brains the size of a small bread crumbs. But the ant didn't have to have a high I.Q. All it needed to do was to trust me. If it trusted me, that ant would have functioned as if it had super-intelligence, as compared to its fellow ants, functioning on the reasoning of a human brain. Compared to God, our intelligence is even less than that of a bread crumb-sized brain. So if you're wise, you won't rely on your own intelligence and understanding. If you do, you'll be living like a dumb ant. But if you trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding....then the Lord will direct your path and you won't live your life like a dumb ant!
