PROVERBS 6:6
         Prov 6:6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

The LORD said to study the ant so I did and found this article by Tom Hennigan and found that the ant was a picture of JESUS

The Great Communicator

In Scripture Jesus is called the Word (Lógos), which literally means “a thing to be said.” It emphasizes His standing as God’s supreme and definitive Voice in the universe. He is the communicator of the mind of God through the words of Scripture. He also created the universe and upholds it “by the word of His power” to ensure that His attributes are clearly seen in nature
(see John 1:1; Hebrews 1:3; and Romans 1:20).
So it should not surprise us to find highly complex societies of ants who communicate and cooperate to accomplish amazing tasks.

As a result of their cooperation and hard work, ants are more successful than almost any other creature in settling the earth. They may account for one-fifth of the total mass of all land animals. It is to the ants that God directs our attention: “Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, which, having no captain, overseer or ruler, provides her supplies in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest” (Proverbs 6:6–8).

The article talks about how ants communicate one to another and help each other and work together on gathering food or if one gets lost how they will find each other and rescue each other. It seemed like The LORD was showing me a picture of the body of CHRIST and how we should talk to one another and help each other like ants do so that the whole body works together. Here is the link if anyone would like to read the whole article it is pretty cool and there is wisdom in it. http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v5/n2/ants
