During World War 2, a soldier was separated from his unit on an 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 caves in the rock. Quickly he crawled inside one of the caves. Although safe for the moment, he realized that once the enemy soldiers came up the ridge - he would be killed.
As he waited, he prayed "Lord, please spare my life. Whatever will happen, i love You and trust You. Amen". After praying, he lay quietly listening to the enemy as they began to draw closer. He thought, "well, i guess the Lord isn't going to help me out of this one". Then he saw a spider beginning to spin a web over the front of his cave. "Hah!" - he thought. "What i need is a brick wall and what the Lord has sent me is a spider's web! God does have a sense of humour!" As the enemy drew closer, he watched from the darkness of his hide-out and could see them searching one cave after another. As they came to his, he got ready to make his last stand but he heard the leader of the soldiers say, "you may well ignore looking for him in this cave. If he had entered here, this web would be broken!"
So they left and he was delivered! To his amazement however, after glancing in the direction of his cave, they moved on! Suddenly he realized that with the spider's 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!"
