The Best You Can Do
Solomon didn’t want his kids to be slugs! He told them to look really closely at God’s created world and see the way that the world is designed. Among the tiniest of creatures, the ants were a great picture of work without coercion. Without a boss, these littlest creatures get things done! Jesus picked up on that. If there were ever a person who could have been justified with being served and taking it easy, it would have been Jesus, God in a bod. But he lived differently than anyone expected.
