"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). "Let all things be done decently and in order" (1 Corinthians 14:40).
There are little creatures on the earth
That God in wisdom made,
To show His order and the worth
Of principles displayed.
Behold the ants, how they provide
In summer, winter stocks.
See the conies, how they hide
Their houses in the rocks.
The locusts always go in bands,
With no king among them shown,
The spider takes hold with her hands,
And climbs the palace throne.
How wisely God has thus displayed,
Foresight, refuge, harmony,
The throne of grace where we have prayed—
So many lessons here we see!
