Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest."
Proverbs 6:6
This reflects another idea that came across in conference this year I think... the idea of preparation. Even though God doesn't remind us every day about this, it is something that we should know, and that we learn by doing. When we prepare beforehand, things usually go better... just like when we pray at the start of each day, or consistently read our scriptures. They don't seem like huge things when we're doing them, but over time we build up a solid relationship with God and contact with the Spirit, and over time we learn more about the scriptures, and it is easier for them to pop into our minds at appropriate times. God works with what we have, and what we have learned. :)
Today, let's be like ants. :) Let's not sit around until God prompts us to do something, but let's be anxiously engaged in preparing and living and loving the people around us, and doing those small things that help us to be ready for the future. The more we give God to work with, the more he can inspire us and the more we can learn.
