Go to the ant… consider its ways and be wise. – Proverbs 6:6 NIV

When it comes to having a work ethic, “Go to the Ant, consider its ways and be wise” (Proverbs 6:6). These tiny giants of industry teach us valuable principles for living. Observe three things about them:

Nobody has to get it out of bed in the morning or coax it to get moving. Nobody supervises its work or enforces quality standards on it.

The wicked… earns deceptive wages. – Proverbs 11:18

If you want to succeed in life practice honesty! One poll cited by newsman Paul Harvey stated that 40% of American workers admitted stealing on the job, and 20% felt justified! Their rationalizing includes:

“Everybody’s doing it, why shouldn’t I?”

“The boss can afford it, he won’t miss it.”

“It’s only small stuff, it won’t make any difference.”

“The company owes me, I’m just taking what’s mine.” “I deserve it, I’ve worked hard and never been acknowledged.”
