215. Consider the Ant: Proverbs 6:6-11

In this episode of Moments of Worship, Pastor Keith McMinn reflects on God’s call to learn from one of the smallest creatures in creation—the ant. Proverbs 6 teaches us that the ant, though without a leader or overseer, works diligently and wisely, preparing in season without delay.

Drawing from the insights of Reformers John Calvin and Martin Luther, Pastor Keith explores how this simple illustration reveals deeper spiritual truths. Calvin reminds us that even the smallest parts of creation can humble our pride and expose our laziness. Luther teaches that every vocation—when done faithfully—is an act of worship unto God.

Sloth is not just a failure of effort, but a failure to trust God’s design for work and responsibility. We are called to labor not anxiously or for the approval of man, but “as unto the Lord” (Colossians 3:23). This episode is a call to spiritual alertness, personal responsibility, and joyful, grace-empowered diligence in the work God has given us.
