I have often read my Bible aloud with my son in the same room. I have been doing this since he was born. Now, I am wondering if he understood more than I thought. He has started going outside to look at ants.

The Bible says, “Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:” (Proverbs 6:6).

Every day he walks around and observes the ants. He does not touch the ants. He normally hands me a stick and ask me to poke the ant bed so that he can see the ants run around rebuilding their home.

Apparently, he took the words go to the ant to heart. However, I do not think just looking at the ants was the original idea. I believe that the original idea was to help people learn to work hard to provide for yourself and your family. Time will tell what my son is learning from watching the ants.
