Meditations From Proverbs, Part 12

"Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise." -Proverbs 6:6

I have come to realize in life that most people are extremely diligent. Diligent, that is, in those areas where their passion lies. If you are into landscaping then you will probably have an immaculate lawn. If you are into cars, then you will probably change the oil every 3,000 miles and vacuum the inside weekly. These are certainly praiseworthy attributes, but still of a temporal nature. Where is our passion for that which is eternal? Do we desire to seek the Lord through prayer, meditation, and the Word? Are these central to our lives or tangential in nature? We must make the time to draw close to God. That's the way I see things.
