What I "got out of it" was: Keep your kitchen clean! HA! It's more than just cosmetic. Seriously, good analogy! I think the Bible talks about ants, comparing them to us, to be deligent workers.... never give up! You must have your mom’s comments on this one! What I “got out of it” was: Keep your kitchen clean!

All I got from it was that it's a bad idea to leave food in the sink. That's a joke, in case you don't know me very well. Wow. Good stuff, guys.

That’s a joke, in case you don’t know me very well.

That's what jumped out at me. When we're going through struggles, the Holy Spirit (breath of God) gives us the power to keep going.

That one little ant that didnt give up he had hope and ambition not to end up like his brothers and sisters. He wanted to survive when he did give up and you blew on him it was like he was geting a wind of encorgement. Kinda like the holy sprit in our lives, giving him the strength to move on the strength at that point in time he despretly needed. A strength we could never have when we are left on our own.

Sun, 02 Jul 2006 12:25:54 +0000 http://www.adamdiehl.com/2006/07/01/ants/#comment-121 I see something totally different, and I'm sure it's totally different than what you see too. I see the ants as little areas of sin. Ultimately, the sin in our lives is our fault (ie, the food you left out in your kitchen ;). So when the "ants" come, we HAVE to whip out the RAID (the word), to clear our lives of the sin. But the truth is...there was still something left in the kitchen that kept that ant going. Maybe you just didn't shoot him with enough bug spray. Maybe he had his eye on your sour cream or organic beans ;) Nonetheless...sin is something you can't take lightly, no matter how small (ants are teeeeeeny-tiny!). They can have a grip like none other...even with just a little feeler. I'm not sure God would enjoy the fact that I compared His word to bug spray...but you get the point. Now tell me what YOU got... I see something totally different, and I’m sure it’s totally different than what you see too.

I actually "got" something different while I was thinking about this, and I intentionally didn't point it out because I didn't want to stifle anything else. I'll share what I got in a day or so.
