The earth is full of small,virtually unnoticed creatuures; yet the ancient wise man Agur points out (in the old testament book of Proverbs) fiur inconspicious species possessing attractivee traits and using wisdom: the ant, the rock badger, the locust(grasshopper), and the spider (lizard). In the new testament, Jesus also commends birds (Matthew 6:26-27) for possessing great fait in the heavenly father.
1 Samuel 5:1-3
After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. Then they carried the ark into Dagon's temple and set it beside Dagon. When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD!
"Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Why? That is our second question: Why is this praise so important? I suggest three reasons for praising a woman who fears the Lord: 1) it feels good to do it; 2) it honors God; 3) it strengthens her hand in the Lord. First, it feels good. David says in Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
