00:00:23 --> 00:00:28 Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46 With as much as I talk about automatic negative thoughts,

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47 or ants,

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51 you might think that's what this episode is about.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54 But no, I really do mean ants.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:56 The good kind.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01 Wait, the good kind?

00:01:02 --> 00:01:08 Most of us despise an ant infestation, or outdoor eating events ruined by these insects.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:14 I learned something today that not only changed my opinion about these creatures,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:20 but also show there is nothing accidental about our journey here.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:26 We are clearly the result of intelligent design by a loving designer.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31 Romans 1.20 could not be plainer.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:36 Nature itself shouts God's brilliance as our Maker.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40 For since the creation of the world,

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42 God's invisible qualities,

00:01:43 --> 00:01:47 his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50 being understood from his workmanship,

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53 so that men are without excuse.

00:01:55 --> 00:02:01 Here's what I learned today about ants that blew my mind from a person named Niles

00:02:01 --> 00:02:06 Lee on Facebook and verified by my own internet search.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:13 Photographer Tony Austin was at the tail end of a three-hour nature walk recently

00:02:13 --> 00:02:16 when a murder of crows landed nearby.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:22 When one of the crows started acting strangely, Austin began photographing it.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:31 Anting is a behavior in which crows land on an anthill and allow ants to infest their feathers.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35 The ants then spray formic acid on their feathers.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39 This acid will act as an insecticide,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41 fungicide,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:47 and bactericide that will rid the bird of all its disease-causing pathogens.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51 There are other birds that do this.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54 There are other insects that they can use.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57 And that's not the only example that we can point to.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:06 Nature is replete with symbiosis such as this, proving the incredible intelligence behind our creation.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:11 Look around you for more examples like this and share them.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:16 Let's fill the world with examples of the thumbprints God left for His creation

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19 that point to Him as our loving Father.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:24 Our meme for today says, God is everywhere.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:28 You just have to look, but you won't have to look far.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:37 Thanks for listening to Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.
