Watch a spider spin its web. The intricate detail and the deliberate nature of its craft are a wonder of nature. When it is finished, the web can withstand wind and rain while still holding its shape and function. Yet, we know how flimsy it really is. One swipe of a broom and it is gone.
Isaiah paints this picture as a symbol of our feeble attempts at creating a kingdom like God's. We work hard to build a web of conveniences that look substantial but in the end, it is useless.
One disaster can show that our material lives are cobwebs. Instead, let's learn to seek to clothe ourselves with Christ- fine fabric, well tailored for life today and forever.
