The Lantern And The Spider Web
Click photo to enlarge
I woke up and walked outside to discover a damp and hazy morning
awaiting me. As I walked around the yard looking at the flowers
and enjoying the fresh, cool morning air, I noticed that a spider
had spun quite a web overnight between our solar lantern and the
shepherd rod that holds it. It looked very pretty in the early
morning light, so I went back inside to get my camera.
As I was preparing to take a few pictures, I began thinking about
how much work that spider must have done to create such a large web.
God had a plan for each and every one of His creatures, and spiders were assigned the task of building webs with which to catch
their food...and it amazes me just how well they perform that task. A
spider can spin an intricate web, one miniscule silk strand at a
time, in what seems to me to be a very short period of time. By
morning, they often have their first creature of prey to chow down
on.
God uses the nature He created to produce some amazing works of art.
Sunlight and water droplets combine to create colorful rainbows
while spiders create sculptures as magnificent as anything you'll
find in a museum. God's work is perfect. Ours is not. All we can do
is marvel at His creations and the creations of his marvelous
creatures, but until we meet Him in heaven that will be plenty good
enough.
