March 14, 2016 - “The spider is in the king’s palace…” Pro. 30:28
Most of us don’t like spiders. Whether it’s a whip, wolf, or water spider… they’re all loathsome.
When Solomon found one in his palace, he wrote: “The spider takes hold with her hands and is in the king’s palace”. Spiders sometimes climb into elevated places. Even the glorious church can become a place of slander and backbiting ---if a spider gets in!
Our homes are our castles where kindness and love should reside. But jealousy can creep in, then a little lie… later a big one. Soon our castle becomes a place of dissention and dissonance. A spider’s in the palace. I don’t know what Solomon did with the spider….but I have a good idea.
And if we’re wise, we’ll do the same.
