In an old country church there used to be what was known as “Testimony Time”. Every Sunday evening the pastor would allow for those in the congregation who desired to stand and give “Testimony” as to what God had done for them this week. Although most in the fellowship who shared would tell about how God helped them in their families or at their jobs and such, one older man would stand and say, “Pastor, this week I got tangled in the web of life, and I fell into sin.” The next week the same man would get up and say, “Pastor, this week I got tangled in the web of life, and I fell into sin.” Week after week he said the same thing, “Pastor, this week I got tangled in the web of life, and I fell into sin.” Finally, after hearing these same words over and over again, another man in the congregation yelled out, “Somebody kill the spider!”
Some of the troubles people get themselves into are because they are spinning their own webs. The source of the difficulty may be right in front of the mirror, and the sooner that one “kills that spider” the better.
If there are troubles all around, perhaps they are not the reader's fault. But, then again, take a long hard look. Seek the webs. Discover if there is a little arachnophobia that has crept in, and begin a clean sweep of all the cob webs that lead to one's own entanglement.
Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
