Proverbs 30:24. “There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:”
THE OBSERVER. He watches with delight the things around him….
He learns by what he has followed with careful observation The power of wind to make a great eagle soar The heat from the rock that prepares the snake for action The movement of a ship in a stormy sea – “Take advantage of the environment around you!”
He learns at the funeral – death awaits each one implacably He learns looking at the face of a woman – fulfillment is waiting anxiously He learns in a time of drought – the staff of life is waiting thirstily He learns from watching the fire – the destroyer is waiting aggressively “Some things will never be satisfied!”
He watches the ants making busy preparation for hard times are coming soon He watches the conies find a safe place of shelter for danger is coming He watches the locusts marching in the same direction overcoming obstacles coming He watches the spiders (lizards) fearlessly hanging on ceilings and wall safe from everything coming – “Take advantage of the benefits around you!”
He learns from the bold steps of the lion to never fear when going He learns from the greyhound to have strength controlled when moving He learns from the guarded movements of the goat to be watchful when feeding He learns from the dignified acts of the king to be thoughtful when ruling – “Be deliberate with caution in every action!”
“There is no doubt Father God, I can learn by observing things going on around me. Lessons are on every side waiting to teach me and guide me in ways that find their origin in Thee. I am asking for an observing eye to claim these lessons and learn from these teachers placed around me by Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
