Fire-Ant Faith

​

If you have never stumbled into a bed of fire ants, consider yourself blessed!  Those almost
microscopic creatures quickly send trespassers into a fire-ant dance! The Prophet Jeremiah was speaking of an intense faith when he wrote these words, "Sometimes I say to
myself, 'I will forget about the Lord. I will not speak anymore in His Name.' But then His message becomes like a burning fire inside me." (Jeremiah 20:9)  Can't you just hear Jeremiah's fervor! It's sad how Christians often get more worked-up at a football game or a BOGO sale than over the Greatness of God.  Believers need a hearty dose of Jeremiah's intensity for God.  Those [of us] who have

​​

done that fire-ant dance well understand urgency and excitement. Oh, that we possess a "fire-ant" faith that compels us to share Christ as we go. Maybe we'll look a little differently at those fire ants from now on ... from a safe distance, of course!​
