Ø  Ephesians 6:13 > Ants are also armored that protects them from a hostile environment and contributes to their strength. Similarly, the Christian is to be armored. We also live in a hostile world. All around us are evil men who would undo our faith. But God, in his wisdom, has provided us with a unique and glorious armor.

Ø  John 9:4 > Like the ant, we must constantly prepare. We must tirelessly go about the work of the Lord.

Ø  wisdom of the cony is " Rock is their strength"

3.    Verse 27 > the Locusts.

Ø  They have no king. They can multiply rapidly, they are much unified, and they have unity. 

Ø  Exodus 10:15 > God commanded them to destroy the land of Egypt > A single locust is barely noticeable. Locust is harmless and insignificant, but when they travel together they get the attention! No one knows better the damage a multitude of locusts can cause than the Pharaoh who refused to let God's people go.

Ø  God is looking for us to take the hold of bible for wisdom.

Ø  If we hold the living word of God, then we will see promise of God in our life. 

Ø  Today we are holding useless things in our life for nothing that allows sin to enter in our life; we are unlikely future residents of heaven. But by God's grace, we will inhabit heaven as sons and daughters of God.

Ø  Be like a spider today; hold the word of god to find the comfort & victory in your life.

Ø  wisdom of the spider is " hold in hand"
