They all three either prefer to remain completely still, or when they move, it is always very, very slowly. Now, what about if you compared a slug or a sloth with an ant? Are they similar or different? Let's go to the Scriptures to answer this question. Proverbs 6:6-11 contrasts an idle sluggard with an industrious ant. In our text for today, we will see that there is a lot that a sluggard can learn from an ant. Proverbs often exposes the dangers of a listless, motionless lifestyle by referring to this kind of person as a \"sluggard\" 14x (6:6-11; 10:26; 12:24, 27; 13:4; 15:9; 18:9; 19:15, 24; 20:4; 21:5, 25; 22:13; 24:33-34; 26:13-16). Let's enroll in a class in myrmecology for a few minutes and see what a sluggard can learn from an ant.
