Solomon provides practical advice for us in Proverbs 6. The ant works diligently, apparently without any oversight, yet working in harmony with other ants to provide for the whole colony. This is similar to the body of Christ, where we individually work together for the benefit of the whole body, without apparent supervision.
Solomon also warns about unfaithfulness using the analogy of adultery. In order to preserve ourselves from the “smooth tongue” of sin, our Father’s commandment and teaching needs to be constantly before us. “When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you”. This is similar language to David’s psalms that describe his love of God’s word and constant meditation, and provides us with insight as to how vital our relationship with God is, both through prayer and meditation on His word.
