The Spider and King David
Discover how even the smallest creature can be part of God's great plan.
Curiosity and Wonder
Young David often watched spiders spin webs while tending his father’s sheep. Fascinated but puzzled, he once asked God, “Lord, why do we need spiders?” God simply replied, “One day you’ll understand.”
Rising and Falling
David grew brave and defeated Goliath, eventually marrying King Saul’s daughter. But jealousy crept into King Saul’s heart, and he sent soldiers to kill David. David fled into the forest, terrified but faithful.
The Cave and the Web
As David hid in a cave, a spider spun a web across its mouth. The soldiers arrived, but seeing the unbroken web, assumed no one had entered—and left. David was saved by the very creature he once questioned.
Pearls of Wisdom
1. Why did the soldiers not go into the cave?
They saw an intact spider web at the cave’s entrance and thought nobody could have entered without breaking it—so they left without checking inside.
2. What is the moral of the story?
Every creature, no matter how small, serves a purpose in God's design. We may not understand it immediately, but everything has meaning.
🕸 Moral: God’s wisdom is beyond our understanding. Even a spider’s web can become a divine shield.
