The Ant Mentality

“If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. You are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” We should be happy for other members of the body of Christ when they are honored or have been validated rightfully. When another member is sad, the rest of us should be in the comforting zone towards them. We are all in this thing together. Instead of tearing each other down, we should help others get built up. Envy can be a horrible detour leading to the dark side. The spirit of jealousy, envy, and greed have gotten the best of many of us having started out with good intentions, and then being turned around with envy, jealousy or greed. Sometimes it’s just because someone else is different than we are, we treat them with contempt. Looking at the ants who are always in step with the main purpose and function of their lives, which is doing the queen’s bidding. They may or may not have individual issues but the purpose inside of them overrules the ant’s individual issues with each other. We should take on the attitude of the ant when it comes to doing the King’s bidding. Yes we have human issues that are very real, but the Lord has laid out in the bible the way to make it all happen. It is the lack of knowledge that has kept you bound in ignorance so you become limited in everything you do. Be a team player and work together with your brothers and sisters in Christ.
