God answers our prayers in an unimaginable way

[Guest guest]

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 realised 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 humour.

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 realised 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.

 

Remember: Whatever is happening in your life, with God, a mere

spiders web can become a brick wall of protection. Believe He is

with you always and you will see His great power and love for you.

Have an awesome day, and know that someone who thinks you're great

has thought about you today!
