I saw this one in the garden today and had to post it. It’s one of the big garden spiders (don’t know the real name.)
The intricacy of the web is beautiful, and amazing that God taught the spider to spin it. But, like all things on earth, it is temporary. With all the cats and birds, wind, etc. around here, this one won’t be there for long.
“Such are the paths of all who forget God; the hope of the godless shall perish. His confidence is severed, and his trust is a spider’s web.” Job 8:13-14 ESV
But, God’s trust is everlasting! Hope in that.
It seems that we have many more spider webs this fall, and as you said, they are all beautiful and an evidence of God’s marvelous creative design. So glad you caught this one!
Thanks, Gloria – glad you enjoyed it.
I believe the type of spider is an Orb Weaver, but that is as specific as I can get.
The verse and thought are perfect for the picture. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks – you’re welcome. i enjoy it.
Beautiful!
