“Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.” Proverbs 6:6-8

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for using one of the smallest creatures in nature to teach me one of the biggest lessons in life. You want me to use the present to save for the future. You want me to recognize the value of hard work. You want me to have a self-motivated work ethic within my soul. You don’t want me to be dependent on the pressure of others. You want me to use the life you have given, to provide for myself and my family. I want what you want, because you are my Creator, Provider and Savior. Help me to get out of this day the best that it can give for blessings tomorrow. Make me a productive ant on your anthill. Amen.

We don’t work for vacations. We work for the joy that comes from benevolent productivity.
