Let There Be ants

I stopped in my tracks  on my usual nature trek as I noticed a large colony of ants  crossing over a patch of dirt on a worn path surrounding a small lake in the neighborhood. They were industriously busy in formation. This same crossing of ants is focused and determined at work each and every day I pass by on the trail. I can follow an army of red ants on tiny pathways forged on the ground floor amidst blades of green grass several inches high towering above the ants at play. This creaturely activity is  set in motion by the "word" Jesus Christ which brought forth the created order as the divine and spiritual impetus which John speaks about in his gospel. If this divine attention to the tiniest form of life is at work just how much more does God care for us as men and women created in his image?
