What did We Learn?
- We learned that whatever we do, we should work hard just as if we were working for Jesus Himself!
- The ants are God’s little reminders that we should look ahead, prepare for what’s to come, and work hard.
- Even when we don’t feel like working, Jesus can help us to do work that not only honors others, but honors Him.
Let's Pray
Dear Lord,
Sometimes we don’t feel like working.
Sometimes we only do a job halfheartedly.
Help us to do our work as if we were working for you.
Give us the strength to see it through.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
