Some Bible verses to go along with this theme can include:
Proverbs 6:6–8 – “Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.”
Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”

(Songs from the Book of Proverbs)
Go To The Ant. This was a music album I grew up listening to as a child. You can hear some of these songs on YouTube, but I would still highly recommend getting the actual CD as a complete collection. These songs are beautiful, with catchy tunes that teach valuable lessons straight from the Bible! (No, the words are not direct quotations of Bible verses, but the lessons that are being taught are all coming from verses in the book of Proverbs!)
