Today as I was driving to visit friends on the farm; I looked at my side mirror on the driver's side and noticed a spider hanging in the wind. The poor thing would take a couple "steps" up the web to try and get to the shelter of the mirror, and then the force of the wind would push it down again.
At one point, I looked over and the web was barely hanging on to the mirror, and I knew that soon the entire web would go flying. As I slowed down at the lights the spider frantically tried once again to get inside the mirror for shelter; but as I sped up - the battle was over ... and into the air the spider flew; web and all.
Why do I write about this? As I watched this little spider fight to hang on, I realized that it was a true picture for me in my tough times. An effort to hang on to truth is needed; but unlike the spider, I don't have to be so worried about hanging on to Jesus; as He has a hold of me, and is never letting me go. He is the rock; the shelter in the storm.
Thank you Father that in the wind of the storms; you are the shelter that we need.
Til Next time,
Jacqueline
