This candle is absolutely worthless with a way to ignite it?

WHEN YOUR EARTHQUAKE SEEMS TO DESTROY YOUR PLANS…

Proverbs 6:6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

In 1974 I graduated from LMU with my Bachelor’s Degree in Humanities. My wife ask me what did I want for a present. I asked for a cross with a chain. I have worn it faithfully unless I was very sick. I also asked for an ANT FARM. She ordered me an nice Uncle Milton’s Ant Farm. We then mailed an order for the ants to come. We waited and finally a small tube of ants came. (No queens) We put them in the refrigerator to cool down and get inactive and pour in the sand and the ants. They just stood around seemingly real nervous. We watch them. We went to bed and the next morning the ants were diligently building tunnels and moving sand. For several weeks we watch they build a room for food storage, a room to bury their dead. The ants had all kinds oof tunnels moving one grain of sand at a time.

One night we came in from church and Linda was shaking the ant farm and caved all the tunnels in…I asked her what she was doing. She said: I WANT TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD DO? Later she said she was going to bed. I said no we don’t. We are going to watch and see what they are going to do. After the ant farm earthquake all the ants ran to the top of the plastic and just stood there in a daze. After a space of time one little ant started nervously shaking. All the rest of the ants just stood still. I guess fearing aftershocks. This one ant started shaking more and more. He finally started moving. He moved over and climbed back into the sand. He looked around. He was all by himself… He picked up a grain of sand and carried it a distance and laid it down. He then went back, looked around. He was all alone. He picked up another grain of sand and carried it and placed it with the other grain… About the 10th load the working ant started shaking more and more. He was all alone. After the 10th load another ant fell in behind the working ant. Then another ant. Before long all the ants were working together… The next morning there were several tunnels under construction.

I went the next day to the library and studied ants. There are IGNITER ANTS. They seem to get real excited and start working . After they start working they start shaking. This shaking gives off a sweet fragrance. This ant is called an IGNITER. The sweet fragrance is picked up by the other ants. The one ant starts the whole work for the ant farm. Soon all the others chime in and the unity of the whole work comes about because of ONE ANT GETTING EXCITED AND STARTS THE WORK ALONE.

IT IS NO SECRET WHAT GOD CAN DO. IF HE HAD A FEW LOVE IGNITERS, FAITHFUL TO THEIR POST OF DUTY.

What could GOD ACCOMPLISH IF WE HAD SOME IGNITERS IN THE CAMP? Do not be disheartened when your world crashing in, the end seems crushing. There is no night, for in his light… you can always feel at home… We may long for added strength… It is no secret what God can do… with arms wide open, God pardons you. there is no night, you will never walk alone. THERE IS NO POWER CAN CONQUER YOU WHILE GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE… DON’T RUN AWAY AND HIDE… GOD CAN.

IN A WORLD WHERE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING: BE KIND! WHERE DOES WORRY, FEAR, LOSE OF HOPE COME?

Psalm 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

Psalm 56:3 (MSG) When I get really afraid I come to you in trust.

Psalm 56:3 (NLT2) But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

DO WE HAVE LESSONS TO LEARN? EACH DAY IS A GIFT… YOUR CHOICE: TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO HAVE A GOOD DAY! THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

Luke 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
