A young soldier found himself in a terrible battle. The enemy was soundly defeating this young man’s platoon. He and his comrades found themselves hastily retreating from the battle field in defeat, running away in fear of their very lives.
The enemy gave chase. This young man ran hard and fast, full of fear and desperation, and soon found himself cut off from his comrades in arms.
He eventually came upon a rocky ledge containing a cave. Knowing the enemy was close behind, and that he was exhausted from the chase, he chose to hide there. After he crawled in, he fell to his face in the darkness, desperately crying to God to save him and protect him from his enemies. He also made a bargain with God, one which I have made before. He promised that if God saved him, he would serve Him for the remainder of his days.
When he looked up from his despairing plea for help, he saw a spider beginning to weave its web at the entrance to the cave. As he watched the delicate threads being slowly drawn across the mouth of the cave, the young soldier pondered its irony. He thought, “I asked God for protection and deliverance, and he sent me a spider instead. How can a spider save me?”
His heart was hardened, knowing the enemy would soon discover his hiding place and kill him. And soon he did hear the sound of his enemies, who were now scouring the area looking for those in hiding. One soldier with a gun slowly walked up to the cave’s entrance. As the young man crouched in the darkness, hoping to surprise the enemy in a last-minute desperate attempt to save his own life, he felt his heart pounding wildly out of control.
As the enemy cautiously moved forward to enter the cave, he came upon the spider’s web, which by now was completely strung across the opening. He backed away and called out to a comrade, “There can’t be anyone in here. They would have had to break this spider’s web to enter the cave. Let’s move on.”
He wrote: “Where God is, a spider’s web is as a stone wall. Where God is not, a stone wall is as a spider’s web.”
…Till this point its inspirational story with secularism in mind and it’s for all.

When troubles come our way, our response should be one of confidence and not fear. The Lord has promised that He would fight our battles for us and nothing by any means shall hurt us. I believe if we come to our problems with the confidence that our God is able to deliver us, the enemy of hell will himself find discouragement rather than the pleasure that he intended. Trust the Lord with every area of your life and know that because you have given yourself to Him, the Lord has promised to lead you and protect you all the days of your life. Rejoice in this fact and know that you are greatly loved by the Lord. (Isaiah 54:13-15) (Exodus 3:13-15) (Jeremiah 31:3)
Encourage yourself in the Lord and know that He will be there to fight your battles because of your trust in Him. The Bible declares in Isaiah 59:19,
“…When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.” Never allow your circumstances to get you down, but rather lift up your hands in praise to God and show the enemy that you will not be moved because God is on your side and your Victory is
promised in His Word. Be confident in God’s Word and know that if God said it, then He will be faithful to bring it to pass.
(2 Chronicles 20:14-18) (1 John 5:1-5) (Jeremiah 1:12)
Psalm 34:4-8 “I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto Him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.”
Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.”
Psalm 20:6-7 “Now know I that the LORD saveth His anointed; He will hear him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.”
Psalm 37:3-6 “Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. And He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
