God is wiser than the wisest and thereby knows the best places to source. In fact, He is the principal source of wisdom. Wisdom is the principal thing in all thy getting. Let me just draw your attention to a few thoughts in this blog. Why would God in all His sovereignty ask us to go an check out the ants and learn from them? Just like me; you might be wondering why God who made us in our own image ask us to go learn from ants (nonentities, seemingly ignoble creature) over which man has been made to rule and dominate? So many questions flooded my mind as well.
I believe there is little to learn directly from the way ants prepare and plan for their feeding and living during raining season during the dry season. Moreover, it is already in the know that when you fail to plan, you are definitely planning to fail. I think the most important lesson to learn from the phrase "Go To The Ant" is how to unveil the real wisdom vault.
Conclusively, wisdom lies in the bosom of the seemingly useless; more than 90% of the wise words we live by today are from men and women who were once termed dullards, nonentities, useless, school dropouts etc. For example, Bill Gate, Ben Carson, Alico Dangote, Cosmos Maduke, Oprah Winfrey, Henry Ford etc. Ecc 4:13 tells us that better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king because that child has a future. Also, Ecc 9:15-16 tells us about a poor and wise man who by his wisdom delivered a city; he might not be valued presently but it is a matter of time, men and women will pay to seat around the same table. Lookout for wisdom from your children and subordinates, consider their ways and be wise; that's real wisdom. God bless you.
