The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. (Psalm 37:23)  'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for well-being, and not for calamity, in order to give you a future and a hope.'  (Jeremiah 29:11)I will go before you and will level the mountains  Isaiah 45:2

I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Isaiah 43:19

"My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." 

Exodus 33:14

So the blob of ant poison was right smack in the middle of their trek from the nest to the sink. In order to get water and food bits, the ants had to get beyond the deterrent.

As I poured a cup of juice, I watched as they tried going around it. That did not work well as they backtracked and spun around. The blob in their path threw them into confusion; they weren't able to quickly get back onto their familiar trail.

I've encountered obstacles and have tried different methods.....going over the mountain, around it, under it, through it. Simply put, I don't have to implement any of theses if I keep my eyes and ears open to the Lord's leading, and trust Him that He is opening and closing doors on my behalf.

He has a plan, and it's a good one. He can lead me over, around, under, or through and it will be the best way. I don't have to figure it all out myself. Even better, He promises to go with me.

That's good news.
