Armies of ants....

This morning as I was walking, there were armies of ants out for the first time.......thousands, maybe millions of ants...cracks, joints, in  driveways, sidewalks..

Looked like moving sidewalks...

Why this morning, why those places?  What were they doing ? 

I am sure hidden away in some library, some masters thesis or doctoral dissertation is the answer to all my questions and observations....why, where, when, how, and time......

Some colonies or flocks or whatever groups of ants are called, already had mounds of cheat grass seed on top, others looked ready to take orders and disperse to do whatever they were supposed to do.....but all moving and moving......

Even these tiny creatures have scripture written about them...we are to consider their ways...

 Proverbs 30:25

Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;

Proverbs 6:6

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!

7 It has no commander,

    no overseer or ruler,

8 yet it stores its provisions in summer

    and gathers its food at harvest.

Industriousness.....little strength, but moving ahead, providing for the seasons ahead.... 

We can learn wisdom as we consider the ants who are tiny,  as well as the creator who in control of all

Proverbs 13:14

The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, turning a person from the snares of death.

James 3:13

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom...

I so want to be that fountain of life....not the constant dripping, nagging, irritation.....

but bringing life to others .....

Watch out for ants....consider....be wise....give life....
