The Wisdom of an Ant

Every morning there is a long line of ants on the street in front of our house.

Above we captured a photo of just one, carrying a huge berry!

Several days ago, I grabbed my bible and went out to the read God's Word with our intern, Leah and visitor, Ali Gunderson about these little insects that are so intent on storing up their food.  Their strength and determination is amazing to watch!  As you watch them, you can't help but be amazed at the detail of creation!  Our God is so creative to create such a little insect as this!

Proverbs 30: 24-48 “Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise:  Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer; hyraxes are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the crags; locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks; a lizard can be caught with the hand, yet it is found in kings’ palaces.

As we begin our 6-month intern program, I imagine at times we'll be busy like these ants running here and there in this chaotic city!  However, we'll not be busy storing up food, but storing up heavenly treasures!

Pray for us as we go here and there, sharing the light of Christ!
