Earlier this week I was at a restaurant with some friends for dinner. Since I have a hard time hearing along with the crowd noise and being be a distance from others, I was given me some insights that I would normally have missed.
Looking out the window to my right, I saw a spider dangling in mid-air and yet darting from side to side and from top to bottom. Soon I became visually engaged in this frantic activity. It was about an hour before dark and the spider was in non-stop motion. So after a few more minutes of starring I got up close to the window and could see a magnificent web that was being spun.
It had eight perfect sides and was about two feet in diameter. The spider had made the outer areas by going around and around the outside, still keeping the perfect octagon, while working it's way to the center. Then the spider went from the center to the outside to lock the web together. An aerospace engineer could not have done better.
Upon further examination each space between the strands was an accurate 1/2 inch apart. Wow, how did a simple spider learn to make such a perfect trap for insects?
Later I stopped and thought how the Lord in His creation gave the insects and animals the tools for survival and yet the Lord's artistic finger also gave them a science and beauty that we take for granted as we knock down the sticky webs.
Think! If the Lord has placed such value on something as small as a spider, then what has He placed in You? You are His Masterpiece with so much more value yet all He wants is a relationship with you. Something the spider can never know.
This weekend, look around for the little things where you can see God's handwork. It could be a in little bug where there is a lesson for you to learn.
