When God Says …
“The spider taketh hold with her hands, And is in kings' palaces.” (Proverbs 30:28 KJV)
The fourth little thing, that awed Agur by its exceeding wisdom, is the spider. We should be awed, as well. This is another object of lessons to learn from. Spiders are easy to catch by the hand like house lizards. They are hated, not just because a few species of them are toxic and venomous. Their webs are nasty! They are usually dusted off along with the unpleasant webs they swiftly spin wherever they are.
Yet, in spite, they sneak in and make homes in palaces under the noses and keen eyes of custodians and palace keepers whose mission is to keep it spic-and-span. Even with all the efforts to keep them out, they somehow are wise enough to continue getting in both grand and modest homes. These are such a lesson to learn from, not only for their wisdom but for their tenacity, as well, to persevere. Right now, this very instant, they are somewhere in a corner of our homes busily weaving a new web.
This is a very profound reminder that if God takes good care of them - tiny creatures, how much more for you and I?! The Scriptures declare: “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”(Mathew 6:26 NIV) Yes, He takes care of us!
For those who have not received His Lordship, all you need is wisdom to believe, and persistence of coming to Him. Receive His saving grace by faith in Christ Jesus and be born again (John 3:3). The Lord Jesus is inviting everyone: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”” (Matthew 11:28-30 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
