The Bible illustrates God's use of wasps to fulfill His purposes, as seen in Joshua 24:12.
In Joshua 24:12, God uses wasps (or hornets) to drive out the kings of the Amorites, demonstrating His sovereignty over all creation, including insects. This event illustrates how God can accomplish His purposes through seemingly insignificant means. It shows that God's providence operates even in the smallest details of life, reminding us that He is always in control, even when we do not perceive His involvement.
This passage also challenges our perspective on difficult or unpleasant aspects of creation, like wasps. While humans often view them negatively, God's use of them in biblical history reveals a deeper purpose. It teaches us humility, recognizing that God’s hand may be at work behind the scenes to protect and guide His people without their direct involvement or knowledge. Rather than blindly disliking wasps, we should consider how God can utilize them for His glory and the good of His people.
