I have always been fascinated by the strength of ants. It's not just a single-minded strength to do a job—that seems to be evident.

Ants work hard and ants work smart. In Romans 1:20 the Bible says that, "the invisible qualities of God are clearly seen in the world that has been created—so we are all without an excuse." So, pay attention to the created world! Where do you see God alive, powerful, and good in the created world? Share pictures, clips, object lessons or stories.
