June 23rd: What Ants Can Teach Us About Wisdom | Kids Devotional Carpooling with Jesus
Manage episode 490348240 series 3624186
Today’s episode is all about... ants. Yep, those tiny little bugs crawling around your sidewalk. But did you know God says we can actually learn from them?
In Proverbs 6:6, King Solomon—the wisest man who ever lived—calls out laziness and tells us to watch how ants work. Why? Because they hustle with purpose, plan ahead, and get the job done even when no one's watching. Solomon drops some serious wisdom in this short verse, and we’re breaking it down just for you.
Jesus often used nature to teach, and ants? They totally fit. Today’s devotional will challenge kids to:
Spot the difference between rest and laziness
Use their time, energy, and gifts for good
Work with intention—just like ants
🚗 Whether you're chilling at the park, sipping a slushie, or cleaning your room (ant-style), Pastor Justin is here to help you follow Jesus in the small things that matter.
🧠 Bottom Line:
You don’t have to be big to be wise—you just have to move with purpose.
👨👩👧👦 Parent Action Step:
Pick one “Ant Hour” this week—an hour of focused work as a family. No distractions, just getting something done together.
💬 Family Discussion Question:
What’s one thing you’ve been putting off… and how can you tackle it like an ant this week?
