I learned this in Science and figured I'd share it with you. Hehe. Oh the fun in biology...anyway, {the trap door spider digs a shallow hole in the ground and then weaves a "trap door" out of silk. The trap door is attached to the ground at one end but is free to move everywhere else. The spider holds on to tiny "handles" that it weaves into the trap door and keeps it slightly ajar. When an insect or crustacean walks by the spider jumps out of the trap door, startling and killing it's prey. It then drags it back into the hole and closes the trap door, feasting on it's catch. Other spiders spin single strands of silk with very sticky ends. They launch the silk at their prey, catching them and reeling them in!} -Dr. Jay Wile & Durnell.
How intricately designed is our world that we live in? How fascinating it is to me. This world, if you look at it, is a continuous life lesson to us humans. From a deadly tape worm; to the "trap door spider..." to the solar system and the countless stars in the sky. Simply astounding! So my questions are these: Do we pay attention to God's painting around us? Do we take note of the tiny details that He painted that could help us perfect our paintings? The paint trail we leave behind? The skills that He gave us? Do we look for the clues in God's creation, to apply to our lives? Just another observation to share with you. Another post to show how focused and well, distracted I can be. Even the rolling clouds, gets me thinking deep and theological! Hope this comes across as an encouragement. Have a wonderful week!
"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith. Because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings." -1 Peter 5:8-9 (NIV)
" The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you." -Psalm 9:9-10 (ESV)
