| Simple Trust |
During World War II, a US Marine was separated
from his unit on a Pacific island. The fighting had been
intense, and in the smoke and the crossfire
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 up a high ridge to several small caves
in the rock. Quickly he crawled inside one of the
caves. Although safe for the moment, he realized that
once the enemy soldiers looking for him swept up the
ridge, they would quickly search all the caves and he
would be killed.
As he waited, he prayed, "Lord, if it be your will,
please protect me. Whatever your will though,
I love you and trust you. Amen."
After praying, he lay quietly listening to the enemy
begin to draw close. 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 his cave.
As he watched, listening to the enemy searching for
him all the while, the spider layered strand after
strand of web across the opening of the cave.
"Hah," he thought. "What I need is a brick wall and
what the Lord has sent me is a spider web. God does
have a sense of humor."
As the enemy drew closer he watched from the darkness
of his hideout and could see them searching one cave
after another. As they came to his, he got ready to
make his last stand. To his amazement, however, after
glancing in the direction of his cave, they moved on.
Suddenly, he realized that 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 forgotten that in you a spider's 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 that God would work
in our lives, sometimes in the 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!"
[Nehemiah 2:20]
Remember:
Whatever is happening in your life, with
God, a mere spider's web can become a brick wall of
protection. Believe He is with you always. Just
speak His name through Jesus His son, and you will
see His great power and love for you.

A friend sent me this... It's to remind me to trust in the Lord no matter how bad the odds are... because God will take care of it! Sometimes... the simpler the thing is, the harder it is to accomplish.
