(Hebrews 11:3) 02:18.870 --> 02:21.570 When you look at this nature, look around, 02:21.570 --> 02:23.190 there seems to be no life. 02:23.190 --> 02:27.930 When you look closer, you see the ants, animals, 02:27.930 --> 02:32.640 a lot of life around us, unnoticed by the eyes of man 02:32.640 --> 02:34.203 but full of life. 02:36.360 --> 02:39.843 King Solomon in quest for the truth, 02:40.800 --> 02:44.850 checked nature and life to find out 02:44.850 --> 02:47.790 what is the vital principle of life, 02:47.790 --> 02:49.293 what's the purpose of life? 02:50.370 --> 02:54.990 He ended up in the book of Proverbs, chapter 30, 02:54.990 --> 02:57.963 which will lead us as a proof text of this message today. 02:59.850 --> 03:01.303 I will start from Verse 24. 03:03.126 --> 03:07.170 There are four things which are little on the earth, 03:07.170 --> 03:10.893 but they are exceedingly wise. 03:12.450 --> 03:17.450 Verse 25, the ants are a people not strong, 03:17.790 --> 03:20.253 but they prepare their food in the summer. 03:21.660 --> 03:25.410 The rockbadgers are a feeble folk, 03:25.410 --> 03:29.160 yet they make their homes in the cracks 03:29.160 --> 03:30.633 in the rocks of the mountain. 03:32.220 --> 03:34.860 The locusts have no king 03:34.860 --> 03:39.393 yet they all advance in ranks, in group, in formation. 03:40.410 --> 03:44.280 The spider skilfully grasps with its hand 03:44.280 --> 03:46.653 and is in king's palaces. 03:47.490 --> 03:49.190 What does this mean to you and me? 03:51.030 --> 03:55.920 He saw that nature teaches us the manifold wisdom 03:55.920 --> 03:59.820 of God. In the midst of plenty. 03:59.820 --> 04:04.020 When everything is fine, when the supply is plenty, 04:04.020 --> 04:07.533 it is time to remember the times of scarcity. 04:09.150 --> 04:13.650 When you are in good health, remember the times of sickness. 04:13.650 --> 04:16.383 Why? To know how to maintain good health. 04:17.970 --> 04:21.930 In times of great harvest of plenty, 04:21.930 --> 04:25.900 the ants remember the difficult times ahead 04:26.760 --> 04:28.620 and they store food. 04:28.620 --> 04:30.620 When the limited supplies become scarce. 04:32.460 --> 04:35.103 The trees teaches us the wisdom of God. 04:36.690 --> 04:37.770 When you look around the trees, 04:37.770 --> 04:40.500 you see today, we are in spring. 04:40.500 --> 04:43.230 You see new herbs coming from the ground. 04:43.230 --> 04:44.973 New leaves that are full of life, 04:45.960 --> 04:49.440 but immediately we enter fall. 04:49.440 --> 04:52.113 You see the transformation of nature in the trees. 04:53.520 --> 04:55.270 The leaves begin to dry 04:56.352 --> 05:01.110 and very soon the tree will be empty of leaves. 05:01.110 --> 05:03.873 It looks dead. Why? 05:04.770 --> 05:08.223 The tree is entering survival mode. 05:09.750 --> 05:12.663 What is survival mode? Difficult time to come. 05:15.570 --> 05:20.460 If the animals, if the trees can teach us the law 05:20.460 --> 05:24.837 of nature because they understand, they respect 05:24.837 --> 05:28.620 and they adjust to the process of nature for their survival. 05:28.620 --> 05:29.583 What about we? 05:31.650 --> 05:36.187 The bear in summer and fall begin to store food 05:37.050 --> 05:39.762 in preparation for the winter coming. 05:39.762 --> 05:44.550 Why?
