What things are little but Wise?

The Ants 

Proverbs 30:24-25

There are four things which are little on the earth,
 But they are exceedingly wise:
  The ants are a people not strong,
 Yet they prepare their food in the summer;
A lesson for all, especially the sluggard

Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard!
 Consider her ways and be wise,
  Which, having no captain,
 Overseer or ruler,
  Provides her supplies in the summer,
 And gathers her food in the harvest.

The rock Badgers 

Proverbs 30:26

The rock badgers are a feeble folk,
 Yet they make their homes in the crags;

Psalm 104:18

The high hills are for the wild goats;
 The cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers.

1 John 3:8

He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work. —

Two simple truths: 1) The person who continues to live a life caught up in sin is of the devil. 2) The Son of God came to destroy all that the devil stands for. So, I guess the issue isn't as complex as we sometimes make it, which leads me to a final thought: Who are we going to side with in this heavenly war?
