During a war, the fighting had
been so intense that he had lost touch with his comrades. Alone in the jungle,
he could hear enemy soldiers coming in his direction. Scrambling for cover, he
found his way into a small cave up the hill. Although saved for the moment, he
realized that once the enemy soldiers searched the caves, he would be found and
killed.
As he waited, he prayed, “Lord,
if it be your will, protect me please, love and trust you, amen”. After praying
he quietly listened as they were beginning to draw closer. He thought well, I
guess the Lord isn’t going to help me out of this one.
Then he saw a spider begin to
build a web over the front of the cave. As he watched the enemy searching for
him, all the while, the spider layered strand after strand of web across the
cave. “Ahah”, he thought what I need is a brick wall and what the lord has sent
is a spider web. God does have a sense of humour”.
As the enemy came closer to him,
he got ready to make his last stand, to his amazement, after glaring in the
direction of the cave, they moved on, suddenly he realized with the spider web
over the entrance, his cave looked as if no one had entered for quite a while.
“Lord forgive me”, prayed the young man; “I had forget that in YOU a Spider Web
is Stronger than a Brick Wall”.
We all face times of great
trouble, when we do, it is so easy to forget the victories the God would work
in our lives, sometimes in most surprising ways. As the great leader, Nehemiah,
reminded the people of Israel when they faced the task of rebuilding Jerusalem,
in God we will have success. Neh. 2:20
-Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper
us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor
right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.(KJV)
Remember whatever is happening in
your life, with God a mere spiders web can become a brick wall of protection.
Believe he is with you always. Just speak his name and you will see his great
power and love for you.
