Animals in the Bible

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!—Proverbs 6:6

Proverbs 6:6 encourages us to “go to the ant” and consider what that tiny creature can teach us. Join Today in the Word on an enriching journey through the pages of Scripture, as we discover how God’s Word uses the animal kingdom to teach us His wisdom. This month we will study not only the ant but a zoo full of animals in the Bible. From the lion’s strength to the dove’s gentleness, animals in Scripture provide reflections of God’s magnificent creation and memorable spiritual truths. It is my prayer that through this study, we will:

  • Marvel at the way God uses His earthly creation to teach us spiritual lessons
  • Understand how these animals give us a deeper understanding of God’s ways
  • Learn important truths about faith, obedience, and God’s character
