Just as ants can’t prosper on their own, neither can we as believers. As ants need each other, so do God’s children. We need to dwell together as they do. The way we dwell together is by sharing the same purpose. We don’t have to agree on when the tribulation or rapture is going to happen. Those are all secondary things. But we do have to be intent on the same purpose, to glorify God and spread His Word, to love God and each other. Let’s aim to accomplish the task that God has set before us and God will be faithful bless our colony!
We can’t let the ants put God’s people to shame! Stay encouraged and focused on the ultimate goal!
