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.

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 what God can work in our lives, sometimes in the most >> surprising ways. And remember with God, a mere spider's web becomes a >> brick wall of protection. >> >> Lord, I thank you for all our >> Military, and their families. >> I Pray for your Brick wall of protection, >> to protect them everyday!!! >> Amen >> >> Contact Me At: >> Donnie Parrett >> 1956 Asa Flat Road >> Annville, Kentucky 40402 >> Home Phone: 606-364-3321 >> Church Phone: 606-364-PRAY >> Skype Name: Donnie1261 >> Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deaf-Blind Inspirational Life Group" group.
