Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise,
Which, having no captain,
Overseer or ruler,
Provides her supplies in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest.

Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Do you need a boss looking over your shoulder to make sure that you carry your weight, or are you like the ant that needs no captain, overseer or ruler? The truth, of course, is that we do have a captain, our Lord Jesus Christ, and Father God does see all that we do, even if our human boss does not. We work diligently, as unto our Heavenly Father!

God Bless You!
