'THE SPIDER TAKETH HOLD WITH HER HANDS, AND IS IN KINGS' PALACES.' PROVERBS 30:28
'THE SPIDER TAKETH HOLD WITH HER HANDS, AND IS IN KINGS' PALACES.' PROVERBS 30:28 We learn from the spider that: (a) yYour size doesn't determine your potential, your spirit does. (b) No matter where you start, you can end up in the king's palace. What's the message of the spider? As long as you live, keep producing! You might not produce as much as somebody else but you've got to keep producing. You might not be able to produce what you used to but keep producing. Jesus taught that some of us produce thirtyfold, others sixtyfold and some a hundredfold (See Matthew 13:8). We don't all produce at the same level, but we must all produce at some level. Don't get intimidated because the other guy is producing a hundredfold and you're only producing sixty fold. You're only accountable for what God gives you! The Bible says, 'They shall bring forth fruit in old age' (Psalm 92:14). Look out; retirement can be dangerous to your health! Keep your mind alert, your dreams alive, and your body moving. You might be old and feeble less agile but you have to have a reason to get out of bed every morning because if you don't otherwise, after a while, you won't be able to get out. of bed. Get up and get dressed, even if you're not going anywhere. If you can't fly, get in the car. If you can't get in the car, run. If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, stand up. If you're lying down, sit up. If you can't sit up, wiggle your toes but let the devil know you're still in the game. By the grace of God, keep producing!
