TEXT: PROVERBS 6:6-11
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
Key Verse: “Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise” (Proverbs 6:6).

MESSAGE:
LESSON 8 – Skillful Planning:
Ants are great planners. When it is summer, they store up enough food in their colony. During winter, when the cold is becoming unbearable and they cannot go out, they never lack anything.

Plan how to use your time, talents and treasure effectively.
LESSON 9 – Team Spirit:
Everything ants do is for the benefit of the colony and they work together until the work is finished. Each ant knows its duty and does all it can to accomplish its task.
Some ants are involved in making tunnels, some are to move materials while others go in search of food. If an ant is not working with the team, it will be easily noticed.
Be a team player and do your own part of the work at home, school and fellowship. Remember, Together Everyone Achieves More.

The lessons from these tiny ants are great challenges to all children. Show by your actions that you are wiser than the ant, and you will succeed.
Prayer: I thank You Lord, for all the important lessons You have shown me; help me to be a doer of Your word.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
