A young soldier was battling for his country. His army was being defeated by the enemies. The soldier and his friends started running away from the enemies who were chasing them. Soon, he found himself separated from his friends.
Full of fear and desperation, he chanced upon a cave. He decided to hide there. He crawled into the cave, fervently praying to God to save him. He vowed to God that he would serve Him for the rest of his life if He saved him.
As he was praying, he saw a spider beginning to weave its web at the entrance of the cave. The fine threads from the spider’s mouth started to make a web soon. He prayed, “God I’m asking you to save me and you are showing me this insignificant spider? How is he going to help me?” The young soldier lost all his hopes thinking that the enemy would find him soon.
Soon he could hear the footsteps of the enemies near the entrance of the cave. His heart was in his mouth. He was waiting for the moment to be caught.
As the enemy came near the entrance, he saw the spider’s web which was by now complete. The young soldier heard the enemy telling his comrades, “There’s spider’s web here. If anyone has gone inside they would have had to break this web. Hence there can’t be any one here. Lets move on.”
The young soldier thanked God profusely for sending the spider to save him.
And yes, as he promised God, he became a preacher to serve Him the rest of his life.
