There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.
– Proverbs 30:24-28
🐜 The ants show preparation—they remind us to plan with foresight and diligence, even in times of abundance.
🐜 Feeling small or overlooked? The ant says, you still have purpose. Prepare faithfully, even when no one sees your effort.
🐰 The conies (or rock badgers) embody stability through seeking refuge—they’re vulnerable, but wise enough to hide in the strength of the rocks.
🐰 Feeling vulnerable or fragile? The conies remind us: Find your refuge in something stronger than yourself. Safety doesn’t mean weakness—it means wisdom.
🦗 The locusts march in unity without a ruler—hinting at a divine rhythm of collective purpose and community.
🦗 Feeling isolated or without leadership? The locusts show us that unity and shared purpose can move mountains, even without a single voice in charge.
🕷️ The spider, often overlooked or feared, shows persistence and access—even the smallest hand can reach into places of great significance.
🕷️ Feeling out of place or unimportant? The spider whispers, Your quiet persistence places you in unexpected places of influence—even palaces.
It’s a masterful invitation to notice that wisdom doesn’t shout; it dwells quietly in creation.
