Daily Lesson for June 19, 2020

Today's Daily Lesson comes from Proverbs chapter 30 verses 24 through 28:

24

Four things on earth are small,

    yet they are exceedingly wise:

25

the ants are a people without strength,

    yet they provide their food in the summer;

26

the badgers are a people without power,

    yet they make their homes in the rocks;

27

the locusts have no king,

    yet all of them march in rank;

28

the lizard can be grasped in the hand,

    yet it is found in kings’ palaces.

There is an old saying that the only way to defeat organized money is with organized people. 

The wisdom sayings we read today are about animals; but they are meant to teach something about people and their organization.

Ants are tiny, but they are strong, and they work together to move mountains.

Badgers have learned to dig in deep into the rock, making it exceedingly difficult for them to be eradicated.

Locusts move without a clear, singularly identifiable leader, but can take over a city in their swarm.

The lizard can be crushed in the hand, but he is too quick to be caught.

Go, learn from the animals, the Proverb is saying.  Organize like them.  Move together like them.  For you may be small, but you can be quick -- and together, even mighty.

NOTE: We are reading the whole Bible together this year.  Over the weekend we will read 1 Kings 12-15 and 2 Chronicles 10-16.
