The Bible has approximately 780,000 words in it. The word of God instructs us how to live which includes how we should control our tongues. The book of James tells us to brittle our tongue. 2 Corinthians informs us that we are ambassadors of Christ, but when we use bad language we become ambassadors of the Earth. When we chew on God's word our appetite, thoughts, and speech will change for His glory and our good.

Proverbs 30:24-28 describes four animals who are small yet exceedingly wise. The rock badger finds a place of refuge in the rock even when the elements are challenging. In the 1980s, the Nebraska football team had to change their offensive system to better combat the weather. Their offensive line, who became known as the pipeline, became their foundation and they paved the way to winning national championships. Both the rock badgers and the Nebraska pipeline identified an unshakable foundation.

Proverbs 6:6 talks about how the ant is wise, resilient and relentless. We are called to get into the paint with the Lord and be wise and strategic in the way we go about life. God hardwired the ant and He soft wired us. We need to learn how to let the Lord turn the friction we experience in life into traction and the ant is a great example of one who is resilient in their approach to life.
