A Spider and its web
Matthew 13:8 "But other fell into good ground, and brought forth
fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold."
One morning, where we used to live, it was the morning routine to take
our dog out to our back yard. On this
day I noticed a large spider's web on the side of the apple tree. I then noticed that the web carried on to a fir tree some six feet away. I wondered how that spider (which I did
not see) spun that web from tree to tree. Then on my way back from walking the
dog there was another web at the side of an arbor. It was also large and this web was strung
from arbor to arbor, a distance of at least 10 feet. I thought that must be
some spider to spin a web a distance like that, and how on earth do they string
the holding threads of their web over a distance up in the air? The web itself
was beautiful, and perfect with its circles upon circles. I was in awe at
the ability our Lord graciously gave this spider to create such a masterpiece.
And then the builder appeared on the scene. And it was the tiniest
little spider, no more than 1/4 inch long, but it went about its work, crawling
along the length of the span between the arbors. I was absolutely amazed at the
size of it, yet its ability to build this web.
