Four things: the locust...grasshopper, maybe?

Last blog was the spider, last on the list found in Proverbs 30:24-28...third on the list is the locust...these may not be our favorite bugs but they can teach us a lesson or two. All four of these creatures have something in common...they are not afraid of work. And they are not sitting around complaining about life. Each one is unique in its own special way. And each one reminds me of someone I know or have known. Today it's the locust that i want to examine. Also called acridid, short-horned grasshopper. any of several grasshoppers of the family Acrididae, having short antennae and commonly migrating in swarms that strip the vegetation from large areas. That is what the dictionary says about them......farmers hate them. But they can still teach humankind a lesson. The scripture in Proverbs said that they have no king....yet they all advance in ranks. What is so important about that you may ask? It tells me that even though they have no leader, that still every one of these creratures knows his place and does what it takes to get the job done. They depend on each other and takong a few liberties here(I can do that 'cause I'm the Blog Master), they support each other. They see the harvest and they don't wait for an invitation, they don't wait for the board to make a decision as to who should represemt them, they just all join in ranks and good by harvest, I mean they reap big time....and they are not fearful for their lives, they literally jump right in and take the spoil and they have ravenous appetites. Do we have that same appetite for God? Do we have that kind of hunger for lot and dying humanity? Pardon the reference...food for thought.
