Proverbs 6:1-19The essence of wisdom is knowing the right way to live so that you can avoid trouble. But what do you do after you have already made a mistake or two? Is it hopeless? No, but it is serious. Solomon advises his sons if they are ever caught in a trap, they should seek freedom immediately, and keep seeking it until they are free. They should not just sleep on it, and hope everything turns out alright. It is in that context that he asks them to consider the ant compared to the sluggard. When we have made our bed (so to speak), the last thing we should do is just lie in it.
LORD, give us the wisdom to seek freedom from our traps, and keep working at it until we are free.
