Commentary on Proverbs 6:7

Theological / Devotional

Having no guide. Solomon was a diligent student of nature (1 Kings 4:33). He was intrigued by the way the ants carried on communal life in perfect order and cooperation, without anyone to oversee the process and dictate the work each member should do. God provides for the needs of the ant as He does for the needs of every living creature (Ps. 145:15, 16), but the ant builds her storehouses and gathers in the bounty by her own diligent labor. The strength, the skill, and the instinctive perseverance of the ant come also from God, the Creator and Upholder of all things.
