There are some sections of the bible which are just a marvel. like the last bit of Proverbs 30… Wisdom spelled out for all to understand in simple but elegant fashion. Be Wise, learn to work, don’t strut in pride that stirs up anger, be quiet when you could say stuff – but just don’t. Be in awe of the creatures which live wisely and are blessed. Surely we must remember that wisdom comes from God. I appreciated the VBS coloring sheet that I found which shows a medieval knight bowing down to worship God. We all must take time to be appreciative of God’s Almighty Majesty… “Every knee will bow…”

Imagine these debates and discussions could be held about an ant or a lizard – and yet there are mighty creatures of God in all sizes. Imagine these debates and discussions about kings, tremendous teaching opportunities, and well there are fools among us all. We learn LOTS from a fall. Each of us should strive to kneel before we strut too tall. All in All, we can praise when wisdom is gifted to big and small. Don’t be churning butter y’all! 

Read on for some true wisdom – thank you Agar in Proverbs 30:

“Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise:

*Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;

*Hyraxes are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the crags;

*Locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks;

*A Lizard can be caught with the hand, yet it is found in kings’ palaces.

“There are three things that are stately in their stride, four that move with stately bearing:

*A Lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing;

*a strutting rooster, 

*a he-goat, 

*and a king secure against revolt.

“If you play the fool and exalt yourself, or if you plan evil, clap your hand over your mouth! For as churning cream produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife.”
