Wise Critters 

24 

There are four things on earth that are small but unusually wise:

25 

Ants—they aren’t strong,
     but they store up food all summer.

26 

Hyraxes—they aren’t powerful,
     but they make their homes among the rocks.

27 

Locusts—they have no king,
     but they march in formation.

28 

Lizards—they are easy to catch,
     but they are found even in kings’ palaces.

The proverb highlights the small but wise creatures in nature. Ants, though tiny, thrive even in a desert by gathering food when moisture is available, ensuring they survive through the long dry periods. Conies, or rabbits, in barren landscapes make their homes in the cracks of rocks, safe from fierce predators like bears, which can’t reach or dislodge them.

In the South, before air conditioning, we could add the mosquito, small and weak but always able to find its way through even the best-maintained screens.

These creatures remind us of the incredible complexity of God’s Creation and how each one is uniquely designed to thrive in its environment.

Think about this: How do you fit into God’s Creation? What unique role or purpose has He designed for you to fulfill in the world He has so intricately formed?
